If the Sims 2 botherd you because there were so many needs you could barely advance the plot then Urbz is for you!

I'll admit that when i got this game for Christmas i was skeptical at best, because i saw it as just a lame way to make sims have some bling or something, but as i played it i found it way more interesting then sims or sims 2, because you have specific goals mapped out for each city section, and the jobs are way more interactive(each city section has three levels of jobs to pass) and you can work as much as you want, pretty much whenever you want.

Sure you don't have a million and one things to make you an individual, but you also don't have a million needs to fulfill. There is less focus on keeping your needs met, and more on interactive game play, it forces you to 'socialize' so that you can raise your reputation, and as much as I dislike stereotypes in real life, i enjoyed being able to dress up my 'urb' to meet all the different groups demands, to try and fit in. Perhaps this would be my guilty pleasure and why I thought i wouldn't like the game, because i've always the groups who expected you to conform. With the urbs you can play with all the different styles, and find something that appeals to you in each suburb.

The only problem i have with the game is that since you have to change sections of the games so many times, it takes quite a while to load each screen....which is true for any SIMS game, but you are using that a lot in The Urbz
