"This is the best sims game for handheld..."

This is a really enjoyable game, and I will explain how in my review for THE SIMS BUSTING OUT:

Graphics- The graphics are really good for a gba game they have a sort of 3-D look to them, that most games lack, but they are still just pixels, just really good. The animations are really good and look realistic in most cases, but not all, like eating from a vending machine is kind of fake looking... I mean he gets a plate somehow, other than that fantastic. 9/10

Sound- The sound is also good in this game, most sounds are real sounding while some are a little weird, but it won't disappoint you too much, also the music is catchy. 8/10

Sim like- Well, it's not the Sims for pc or console, oh no, it is more like harvest moon, you have goals to accomplish in it in order to continue, other wise you will be stuck. There is "motives" to watch out for. 5/10

Game play- Ah, like all Sims games it is an enjoyable game to play, there are fun missions to complete, and plenty of Sims to communicate with, plus you have "motives" to keep up with (my favorite part of any Sims game) unlike other sim games, you get to directly control you one sim you get to make from scratch. There are limits to your sim you create, but still good amount of customization, instead of building your house, you just move from house to house which isn't that bad, there are plenty of things to do around in sim valley, there are bars to visit, stores to buy objects, restaurants, docks, pizza parlors, and much, much more. Just explore around and you will find plenty of things to do, plus you can always do errands for other Sims to net you some money as well as play mini-games for money. This game will keep you glued to your gba for hours upon hours, very good game. 9/10

I recommend you buy it, what other choice do you have. Awesome game for Sims fans as well as harvest moon fans, lots to do.
