I have been wanting to get my hands on this game for so long and I am so happy I finally found it for a great price and still in great shape. I am reliving my childhood and I could not be happier with this purchase.

Firstly, it's more dated than I expected. I played the Gameboy version, which was graphically more appealing. Bustin Out played more like classic Sims, a life simulator, and less like the GBA version, a life RPG. I would have appreciated more RPG elements, more involved story, the better chat system. It all depends on what you like.

After buying, playing, and beating The Sims, I decided it would be fun to give this sweet looking second outing, and I was right! In the first one, you are living with your mom, move out, get married, have kids, and enjoy the good life. This is just practally the same thing with alot more background, unlockables, things to do, OH YEAH, you can visit relatives and neighbors in this one! In short, it's the same thing just polished. However, this does not mean it is a bad game. This is by far one of the most inovated games I have ever played! (I've not played The Sims 2). When you move your character around, it always feels freash and slightly different. Making this a game you MUST rent/buy. Although of all the greatness and fun of this classic, it does have its set backs. When your with you mom, there is absolutly ALMOST no loading time. Then, I moved out with my dumb witted sister, and to my suprise it had a 30 second loading time. Thats not so bad when you think of it, but then, some of the goals in her house were to visit people and do stuff (give "sign language", flirt, win in a game of poker, party...). It's all fun but thats a half of a minitue for each time you go back home or visit. It especially gets on my nerve when I visit someone, and right when I get there I have to get back home for work, or I am out of energy and need to go back home and go to sleep. Small, but sizable glitches are also take away from this great game. For instance, Malcolm Landgrabb (greedy step dad) is stealing from the people/person you are living with. He goes to take a plasma T.V. in a room where your roommate is in front of the door. So they bump into each other and don't move for 4 minuites!!! 4 minuites!!! Don't get me wrong though, this is an excellent game with superb solid game play, but DO NOT buy this game if you have NO PATIENCE, WANTS SOMTHING NEW EACH TIME YOU PLAY IT, DID NOT LIKE THE PREVIOUS TITLES, OR JUST LIKES OTHER GENERS OF GAMES. If you didn't fall under any of those categories, congratulations, buy the game or rent it! It is just plain different.Read full review
We LOVE the Sims' games. Bustin' Out is no exception. The create-a-sim is not as good as the PC version, as you can't add your own face to it, and customize the clothes, but that is the only thing lacking. When you play with the lawn gnomes, you can get unlimited money and health to make the game easier. Without the lawn gnomes, you have the choice to become a Movie Star, Mad Scientist, Gangster, Fashion Victim, Paramilitary, Counter Culture, Jock, or even a Rock Star, a professional Slacker, Artist, Computer Geek, or you could even make your millions as a sneaky Swindler! This game TOTALLY rocks! You can build up your house (as with most other sim games). There are even cheat codes you can get free online at specific websites that tell you how to do things like walk around naked, play strip poker, bath/shower without being "fuzzed" out, or for the not so perverted type, (like me) - you can use the codes to get the lawn gnomes for unlimited health and wellness. There are codes to unlock all your social requirements to get to the next level, unlock all vehicles, all items, etc. EA Games did EXCELLENT when making this game. The music is quite "toe-tapping" and addicting. Especially when "Bella" plays the organ! That rocks! You'll be singing the tune for days! We like this game, and recommend it to all Sim fans! Enjoy!!!Read full review
Looked for this game out of nostalgia and was so happy to find it for such a low price and in such great condition! Was not expecting the disc and case to basically look brand new. Everything works great and I couldn't be happier.

I love this game. I have played all of the other sims games and I like this one the best, the only thing is I just can't get 2 things unlocked Macolmes massion how much fixing up and money do you have to spend to unlock it and at Pixel Acres who buy the formula. Please if anyone knows how to unlock them please let me know at thebostic4@aol.com would love to get to the end to see what happens. I have got all jobs to the end already would love to be done. Great game I would buy it for sure.
I have fun playing with this old game. It showed me how much technology has advanced over the years with Play Station systems.

The Sims: Bustin' Out is fun to play but it took me awhile to how to play it. There are things that you can do in this one that none of the others do like having kids and you can buy more games to get up your fun need but it has downsides. Like how it took awhile to figure out how to see what my sim needed like eating or hygiene. I actually had to look it on gamefaq because the book with the game didn't help me. If you want to see your goals, you have to pause the game, do what it says then see this pop of what item or money you get, and pause again to see another. It takes up alot of time to do certain activities in the game like painting a picture takes times and its not alot of money. It's a good game if you don't mind alot of waiting while doing certain things.
I love Sims in all forms (From PC to gameboy advance) but this one is probably my least favorite. I find it slow moving and to many restrictions. While it has the same concept as all other Sims game, I find this one hard to play. I love that you can pick out your character and what they look like. It is funny watching him ride the little motor bike. I just was hoping for more than what this game offers. The graphics are great and two player action is cool also. If you like the Sims game, I say give it a try and see if it works for you.
The sims shows a value between what's real in life and what you can do in the game. The sims is a great game for any one who just wants to see what life would be like if they controlled every bit of it. This game is great because of the improvements from "The Sims" which is also a great game as well. I love the Sims Bustin out and all of the Sims games. Lots of fun for the family of adult age for some of the actions or options on this game. What a great price for a great game. *Remember - This game is at a great price, but because of the Sims 3 out on the consoles now, THe price is set very reasonably.*
