Urbz: The Urban™ Sims.

Ойындар

The Urbz: Sims in the City (2004) was an unforgettable game. I tried to make it back to the top of Urbania/Miniopolis/Simcity/whatever city it is.

    I remember Urbz so strongly because of the "pyromanic". You see, my brother and I would always notice this weird dude in sunglasses next to fires. Obviously, he was the one causing them so we always shooed him off and put the fires out ourselves. Fast forward to us now in our penthouse, grilling hot dogs for our guests when we caught ourselves on fire. Suddenly the weird dude jumps down from a helicopter, extinguishes us, does a cool pose, then hops back on the helicopter. And that's how we learned that we were constantly chasing off the firefighter. 😅

    Ah man I absolutely love The Urbz. Back then I kinda saw it as EA dipping their toes into a more urban style of sims where they're in the city doing cool stuff and out of the suburbs where after a while it gets boring just going to your job with your maxed out skills and the same family over and over again. I remember my 11 year old brain thought that this was how adult life was going to be and how excited I was to have my own apartment and group of friends where we're out late at night and chugging redbull and doing cool stuff. Course the only accurate part of this game was the energy drink addiction I picked up but eh. What a great video. This was such a blast from the past!

    The DS version was actually pretty entertaining, but it was disappointing that they were so resistant to putting a proper Sims style game on handheld. Would it have really been so hard to replicate a basic version of Sims on DS?? It had a touchscreen FFS.
