How are we doing today my fellow gamers? Brothers and Sisters and all others alike, welcome to my review on a game that spans many console platforms but, for some reason that I really can't truly explain, this one I enjoy the most out of the group, a game known simply as The Urbs.

Now before I begin this review let me say a little something about this game. For those of you who do not know, The Urbs is exactly what the game describes. Its the Sims in the city. Seems easy to understand right? To put it in basic terms, remember in the Sims where you could build your own home and buy stuff for it while customizing your characters life style? Well that's basically been amp ed and ret coned for this game. As I will explain in the review. The Urbs is truly a sandbox that is fun for anyone, and if your a fan of Sims, you'll enjoy this game...if not get very confused by it.

Any who, lets continue the review shall we!?

Graphics: Obviously because this is a GBA game, the graphics are not going to be a high point, but to be honest, for a GBA game, it does do very well in surroundings, graphics on objects, and making everything look how they should. However for the Graphics I will say one thing. and that the game is in a top down view in a diagonal slant, which makes entry ways for doors or areas confusing. But regardless its not bad. I give it a solid eight out of ten.

Sound: Again the sound for a GBA game is once again not going to get to high on marks because of how GBA games basically always shared the same sounds, but for the Urbs, its pretty original. Honestly a lot of the sounds remind me of the PS2 version of the game, or rather the soundtracks. But again a lot of the game where the character (yours) reacts to different things with the proper sound and voice. I like this as a sound detail. So for this score...yeah eight out of ten again.

Addictiveness: Ten out of Ten. I'm sorry but for reasons very obvious if you played the game, this game is very hard to not pick up and play. Its very addicting. From the jobs, to the buying, to simply talking to people so you can get some weird BS beads that somehow unlock character traits (no I don't get it either), it all is very addicting and fun to watch.

Story: Story is normally very non important for sim games considering sometimes there is none and other times your the one who forges the story of your character. But for this case its more then that. The story is very important for The Urbs for one simple fact. This is, quite literally, your story. Everything you do with your character will reflect it. Even from the very beginning, the questionnaire that you HAVE to do to decide what rep group you belong to shows how your characters story will be portrayed. Then its just your decision on how you do things. The story is so well made and in all honesty, its very well developed. Again, ten out of ten.

Depth: This game has multiple ways of doing things, and missions you fail can last forever, and in all honesty the game leaves a lot for one person to do. And then when you bring out the multiplayer (oh yeah it has multiplayer by the way) the game gets bigger and better. I'm not going to talk to much on Depth so...nine out of ten.

Difficulty: This is something I'm not so sure how to rate to be completely honest. Its challenging but only if you have never play this game or any sim game before, but its not impossible enough to not beat it on your first run threw. Its a pretty balanced game...so a balanced rating it is. Five out of Ten.

Well guys and gals, lets add it all up. When it comes to Graphics, Sound, Addictiveness, Story, Depth, and Difficulty as well as my own personal enjoyment, I will safely give this game a well deserved rating of a 9.1 out of ten giving it the Serpentine Seal of Approval. The game is good and it does have its own problems but not enough to give it a score lesser then what it has.

But hey, don't take my word for it, you should go and play it as well, and honestly I think you all will enjoy it.

With that being said to all, brothers and sister and all others thank you for joining me today and please, as always, keep you swords sharp...for the revolution is coming. Farewell to all and to my fellow gamer, keep playing.
