Well it took me only 3 days to complete this game. Then I went on to write the faq which only took me 2 days to complete. You can pretty much guess how long it takes to finish this game. I played Bustin' Out and had a great time with the game. Waited enthusiastically for this game but it was such a BUMMER! Nothing really interesting. Unlike Bustin' Out where you have a home where you go to work from it. You also have other residents whom you can interact with. Here is the Urbz, you can live in the districts or your apartment of your choice with your pet. The good things about the Urbz is that you get to control your SIms when they are at work. However, the working hours are not like those in Bustin' Out which seem more realistic. Also there is a transport that brings you there. There are also 9 districts in this game where you have to dress up with different styles. However, I did not quite the new changes. What I was hoping was that Maxis would develop this new game from the exisiting Bustin' Out. I was still hoping for the nice done-up houses, other residents living with you. But with changes in how to complete your goals, better graphics and also able to control your Sims when they go to work. The time your Sims spend sleeping is way too short to be real. And I would also like to see other residents sleeping or staying with you in the districts. It is just more fun and natural. Those are just my comments....I know of many people who have thoroughly enjoyed this game and prefer this to Bustin' Out. The main reason why I didn't like it was that it was not as ADDICTIVE as Bustin' Out. So simply rent it coz you can complete your game within a few days. Also check out my faq under Devil_Princess if you need help on the game. Al-Fez

I think that EA was just trying to get on the X-treme bus and have their characters party with slacker bums. Ghetto fabulous is very in right now and this game really overdoes it trying to keep with the fad. This need ... Read Full Review
