Item Description
For years a Sim's whole world ended at the property line. The Sims Bustin' Out hands them the keys to a scooter and sends them across town. Maxis built this second console Sims around a simple, irresistible idea: your Sim moves out of Mom's place, lands a job and works their way through a whole neighborhood of homes and hangouts, each one a new lot to explore, redecorate and eventually move into. It was also the first Sims game that never came out on PC, made for the couch and the controller.
Bust Out mode gives the open-ended Sims formula a storyline and a villain to root against. Malcolm Landgraab is roaming the neighborhood repossessing his tenants' belongings over unpaid rent, and your job is to climb career ladders, build skills and friendships, buy everyone's belongings back and finally evict him from his mansion and move in yourself. The careers are where the game's sense of humor shows best, with offbeat tracks like gangster, paramilitary, jock and fashion victim. Each promotion opens up new places to visit, from the gadget-strewn Shiny Things Lab to Casa Caliente, and reaching the top of a ladder such as movie star earns an ending of its own.
Freeplay is the classic sandbox: build a house, raise a household and let the drama play out with no goals at all. Bustin' Out folds in ideas from the PC expansions Livin' Large, Hot Date and Superstar, so there is far more to do socially than in the first console game, and a second player can join on split screen to build a life side by side. On the GameCube there is also a link-up with the Game Boy Advance version of Bustin' Out that lets a Sim travel between the two games, skills and savings in tow, and even a plain GBA hookup lets your Sim play an in-game arcade machine while you play its minigame on the handheld.
It is a funny, absorbing slice of the era when the Sims went full cartoon on consoles: exaggerated animations, Simlish banter, a garage of flashier and flashier cars as your Sim rises through the ranks and a landlord who deserves everything coming to him. On the GameCube it captures the console Sims at its most ambitious, the step between the first console game and the city life of The Urbz.

About the game
The Sims Bustin' Out is the second title in The Sims console series and the first The Sims title to not be released on PC. It featured the same 3D environment and engine the past game did, however adds several features from The Sims expansion packs: The Sims: Hot Date, The Sims: Superstar, and The Sims: Livin' Large. Bustin' Out was released for the Game Boy Advance, GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox and N-Gage in the fourth quarter of 2003. As the title suggests, the Sims can get out of the house to visit other locations such as Shiny Things Lab or Casa Caliente. There are two modes. Bust Out Mode which has mission based gameplay and Freeplay Mode which is open-ended gameplay very much like the original The Sims PC game.
