#5. The Urbz: Sims in the City

The Urbz: Sims in the City
  • Release Data: Maxis/EA Games, 2004
  • Genre: Simulation » Virtual » Virtual Life

Those who are thrilled by the idea of playing a game that focuses on constantly dressing up a character in new clothing and hairstyles, or on managing relationships with many virtual friends by answering a virtual mobile phone, will be the ones who will likely get the most out of The Urbz.

#4. The Sims 2

The Sims 2
  • Release Data: Maxis/Electronic Arts, 2005
  • Genre: Simulation » Virtual » Virtual Life

In summary, the console edition of The Sims 2 marks a definite improvement over The Urbz: Sims in the City in terms of visual presentation, sound and gameplay.

It tweaks the PC formula enough to attract the console crowd, yet keeps enough of the traditional Sims formula to warrant a look from fans of the original.

#3. The Sims Bustin’ Out

The Sims Bustin' Out
  • Release Data: Maxis/EA Games, 2003
  • Genre: Simulation » Virtual » Virtual Life

The second game in the series for the consoles, this game successfully expands on the previous game by letting your sims “bust out” of their own homes and freely visit their neighbors.

All things considered, The Sims Bustin’ Out makes good, solid improvements over its predecessor and stands on its own as a great version of The Sims for consoles.

#2. The Sims

The Sims
  • Release Data: Edge of Reality/Electronic Arts, 2003
  • Genre: Simulation » Virtual » Virtual Life

The GameCube version of The Sims does a great job of revisiting the original premise and gameplay of one of the most successful games ever.

It also has several new features that add a good amount of extra play value to an already replayable game, as well as a robust 3D engine that may look somewhat plain but works well.

#1. Animal Crossing

Animal Crossing
  • Release Data: Nintendo, 2002
  • Genre: Simulation » Virtual » Virtual Life

Animal Crossing‘s friendly look and feel combined with the easy sandbox-style activities are an insurmountable obstacle for those who thrive exclusively on twitch games.

At its heart, Animal Crossing is very much a game for a family or someone looking for a change of pace, and for that audience it provides an enjoyable, relaxing experience with a long life span.

About

Hi, I'm R, and I've been playing video games since I was a kid. My first console was the original PlayStation (the gray one) and I spent countless hours playing Crash Bandicoot series and Spyro series. My second console was the PS2 Fat, and I completed all of the GTA series 100%.
