    It puts a whole new spin on the series and it is as good as it is going to get in terms of being a portable version of the game we all know and like.

    Amazing graphics present the isometric 3D view better than any GBA game I've previously seen. Wondrous.

    The first Sims title that gives you direct control over your character. [Feb 2004, p.151]

    The series has never been popular for its graphics but everything looks good here on the GBA. The rooms are colorful, the sprites are large and the menus are easy to read.

    Isn’t really The Sims as you know it - it’s more like "Animal Crossing" with human beings instead of sapient anteaters.

    The visuals in Bustin’ Out are surprisingly detailed and fluid. The characters animation with clay-mation smoothness and have the traditional fun animations that Sim fans are used to.

    Be it from talking to characters to fulfilling the needs, however without the ability to make money and build larger houses, and the distinctive lack of a variety of furniture this open-ended gameplay quickly wears thin, even making the whole thing less open-ended in practice than in theory.
