    It is a very good game that, when you start playing it, you can't put down for ages! It is great fun and full of variety and freedom.

    What did dissapoint me though was how you can never find people when you need them, and even when you do there's always one need that prevents you from talking. This is the really annoying bit.

    But on the whole it is a great game!

    It's a really good game and I never get tired of it. I got really far and then overwritten another player by total accident and so I started over and I like to start over sometimes just because you forget what the beginning is like. Overall it's a good game.

    All in all, the sims is like any other game and has its good points and its bad. Overall, this is a good game to play and I strongly recommend it.

    I like... the fact that I can have my own life on The Sims, I can live in my own house and have jobs. Therefore I really recommend this game for the gameboy advance because there is so much freedom.
    This game is really good.

    Being a mad Sims fan, I thought I would give Bustin Out a go on the GBA. It took ages to find it in the shops. When I did get it, I played it and found it quite disappointing.
    This game takes the definition of boring to another level.
    Maybe this is aimed at the teenage market, and not for the hardcore Sims fan like I am.
    I can see what they have tried to portray in this handheld game, but unfortunately, is just not for me.

    The Sims Bustin Out is a good game for the first few days, then however it gets hideously boring as there are not that many items and you don't have fixed jobs to go to every day. Unlike the previous sims you can't very easily sell your handiwork and you can't even make an end bit of pottery with the pottery wheel.
    I dislike the way you can't speed up game time and how it is very difficult if not impossible to have a baby and some people won't move in with you.
    Another thing is you can't build ...

    I love love love the GBA Sims Bustin Out game! I'm a 40 year old mom and I can't put it down! We bought two GBA and two Sims games so we could access Paradise Island. I can't wait for another Bustin out for the GBA, does anyone know when it might happen???

    I agree with cmumb5872's review of The Sims: Bustin Out, in that it takes ages to find someone that you want to talk to and then when you find them, there is a need that is too low so you can't speak. But, you can use telephones to get over that problem. It's very addictive, I can't put it down as yet. The characters are very well thought of, the men seem to be mostly tuff guys but, you can't have everything. The town/ village is very big for a Gameboy game and comes as a surprise at how big it ...

    I too have become addicted to this game, and have been up later than planned. I'm still not done. At present I'm struggling to get the promotions required to move into the house on the estate.....but I will not be beaten! It's frustrating to finally find the person you've spent ages for only to be too tired to talk, but there's always tomorrow.

    The Sims: Busin Out is a great game! It never gets old or boring, and it's really addictive. It's definately worth buying.
