    A good game that will eat your free time. Some framerate issues but this in no way spoils the game.

    I like the game, and think it's worth owning. But it is a bit tedious and repetitive. Sometimes the sim you control is stubborn and doesn't do what you ask which can be annoying. I dreamed about the sims last night.

    Addictive. I can't stop playing this bloody game. Now I never really got into the PC versions, for some reason I go against the norm and prefer the XBOX version. the only thing that stops me from giving this a 10 is that sometimes there are truly some frustrating scenarios - trying to get a room full of people out of the can before you wet yourself is impossible sometimes (funny but Addictive.

The timelines are not realistic, and the social interaction is more difficult than I think it should be. But I can't argue with the fact that I can't stop playing this cursed game - so while I can't give it a 10 - I have to give it a 9. GET IT!… Expand

    Отличная версия для Xbox. В отличии от оригинала все задники в этой игре полностью трехмерны, присутствует очень удобное управление и реализация перемещения на транспорте, советую!

    With each day presenting a enw opportunity to fly or fall face down, Bustin' Ouot never loses its luster. [Mar 2004, p.83]

    It's somehow mind-numbingly mundane and brilliantly addictive at the same time. [Jan 2004, p.92]

    Some people might like its micromanagement approach, whereas others will find it very tedious.
