"Rocks"

Bustin out has to be the best console sims ever sence they just haven't been that good. This game dose just about everything right. it has an addctive story mode and a free play mode thats not as fun but lets you just play. In story mode you paly as a kid of a super ritch guy named Malcom and he wants you out to start a new life. from there it's getting a new job, building your skills and making friends. I'll start off what I don't like about this game. The mood of sims can go wrong to fast and make palying next to a nifghtmare trying to get them happy and the house just right. Building skills is more tedious then fun, and the goals can be a chore to do at times. Other than that this game is a lot of fun. You get to unlock some cool interactions and house hold things, get to visit intersting places like a nudist colony and a "love" house. The people you meet do keep things intersting. The story mode is were you get your moneys worth. Freeplay isn't all that addctive there are no goals, no rewards, you kids never age past child, it just dosen't stay intersting for long. Theres even a 2 palyer mode were 2 people can paly on free play it dose add a little something when your sims start fellnig bad. Of corse this game has aged a bit, sims look a bit blocky and theres not a lot of options to dress them up but thats ok. It's still a fun game but perhaps outshined by Sims 2 on the pc.
