A slight feel of freedom, though the world you can explore is both shallow and somewhat boring. It lack's life.

User Rating: 6.5 | The Urbz: Sims in the City DS
It lack's life. Simple challenge's with relatively mundane solution's and a unsatisfying interaction capabilities. Weak relationship development and a cast of drained and lifeless neighbors to keep your time between task's even more boring.

Despite all these flaw's there's a satisfying sense of customization in both fashion and home to be found. As well as an open to explore environment and a variety of mini-game's that act as job's to get money from.

Gameplay - 6
A lot of time's it leave's you bored and aimless, with drained variety outside of simple mini-game's and an explorable (yet small and bland) city. A weak utilization of dual screen's or touch screen's.

Graphics - 6
While they are sharp, they are very weak and disappointing. The sprite's all look undefined.

Sound - 6
The usual bland mix of sim sound's that are both realistically boring and unsocially apparent.

Overall - 6.5
While there's certainly a plethora of flaw's to be found, it does provide a slightly entertaining game.
