This and the Sims 2 for the DS were my favourite. The Sims 2 for the DS was quite extraordinarily strange and wonderful, what with the cult that worshipped the giant cow, the ancient mummy in the basement, the suspicious mobsters, the alien autopsy room, and the general feeling that your little Sim character had fallen into some sort of Lynchian nightmare in the abandoned desert town. Great music too!

My friends and I generally agree that the world of the Sims 2 DS is, if not inspired by, at least very similar to a Hotel California feel. It's all centered around a hotel, none of the characters seem all that thrilled to be where they are but they never really leave, and everyone's always just checking in and out of this hotel for perpetuity after you finish the main storyline. Feels almost like everyone is trapped there but they either don't totally realize it or they refuse to acknowledge it. Anyways that game both entertained me for hours and and also scared the everloving shit out of me as a kid just with the eerie feeling that hung over the whole game. Swear to god the alien theme still plays in my nightmares sometimes to this day.

Such an insane amount of nostalgia packed into just 10 minutes here. I spent countless hours playing this game and loved every second of it... well, almost. Apart from the graveyard guarding and the part where running gets you thrown in jail, but other than that it was a wonderful experience all through out.
@perkasenior
@perkasenior Жыл бұрын
The positive thing about those parts of the game, is that it keeps the player on their toes. The running law especially, so many games of the time had the "press B to run" mechanic that the developers expected players to rely heavily on it, even with a bike and hoverboard at their disposal. So using that against the player as a part of the plot, while annoying, is clever because that's the point.

I waited for this, and I'm happy it's happened. I'm going to point out just a couple of my favorite tidbits of the game, so spoiler warning to anyone who hasn't yet played this gem. If you're still looking even after the "show more", you're about to be spoiled. The whole bayou portion is probably my favorite part of the game. Not only is the Red Man my favorite of the minigame jobs, but escaping the bayou leads to a great rugpull moment in the story. See, while you were having an involuntary bayou adventure, Daddy Bigbucks somehow got "running" turned into a criminal offense. After the amount of time you've spent playing the game and running everywhere, it's only natural that you'd continue doing so upon getting back to Sim Quarter. So when you suddenly hear the police siren SFX, get a popup telling you you're busted, and find yourself in jail talking to Detective Dan again, it's the last thing you'd expect to happen. It absolutely caught me my first playthrough, and the memory of that sudden change in the laws has stuck with me ever since. Oh, and the Bayou brothers? The Ninja is tied to them. If you talk about Ninjas with Clem, he'll tell you they supply her with her smoothies.

I absolutely adored this game growing up! I've played plenty of Sims spinoff games but this one really feels like it's own thing. Has a ton of heart and personality as you said. criminally underrated. There's even a secret entrance that takes you to the moon :D

I loved the GBA Bustin' out and have deep nostalgia for this game. So much content in the palm of my hands as a kid with a goofy yet engaging story.

I love watching you talk about these old Sims games! I didn't have any of these growing up but I did have the Sims bustin out on GameCube and I never did beat it as a kid despite plenty of game hours put into it!

This is also my favorite Sims entry! I look forward to building a clubhouse in the trash every time I drag the GBA out of the closet.

That was surprisingly heartfelt and tender. I loved my GBA, particularly Advance Wars. Good job, man.

This has always been one my favorite handheld games (Right alongside the previous entry--Bustin Out for the GBA!), it's just got such genuine charm to it. The developers obviously had a lot of fun making the games and I really appreciate what they did to make their little handheld games unique

I used to absolutely love the DS version of The Urbz. I still play it through to the end every few years.

I love how the evil plan involves a completely unnecessary and expensive bulldozing phase 😂 like you don't need to rebuild the whole building if you bought it just to charge entry

This was my first Sims game, and still my favorite. I have beaten it multiple times. I'm so so happy to see someone feel the same way about it!

For Christmas, my boyfriend purchased a used copy of this game so I could play it on his old Gameboy, and it brought absolute joy to my life. Finding this video now just gets me more excited to keep playing!

New subscriber and fan of the channel, the algorithm guided my here from my long time viewing of Call Me Kevin and Spiffing Brit. I remember playing games of this franchise years ago (we share a fondness for Sim City on the SNES, lost weeks of my youth to that game) and I played the Urbz a bit but for PS2. Gotta say I like the different more narrative format you use in your vids. Keep up the great work!

Played the DS version to death as a kid. Always loved when the villain chucks you into the water like a pair of expensive ray-bans. Good times
