Gameplay:
The Sims is based on the very popular PC game with the same title. Unlike the PC game, "The Sims - Bustin' Out" has an "adventure game" element to it - you have to help out various people you meet, through out the game, while earning money to buy furniture and equipment for your own place. Despite the "adventure game" side to it, it still has all the expected aspects of the game - allowing you to buy and sell items, place the items exactly where you want them, ensuring your character gets enough sleep and eats regularly. There are also "mini-games" you can play.
Graphics:
The graphics are excellent, and rather high-detailed, with a smooth "cartoon" feel. The user interface looks and feels a lot like the original.
Sound:
The game has both music and sound effects, and there's never a moment of silence, such as people greeting you, or complaining when you upset them...
