Urbz, The - Sims in the City (GBA) price, value & rarity
Is Urbz, The - Sims in the City still worth playing in 2026?
The Urbz - Sims in the City brings the Sims universe to GBA with a touch of adventure added, where you guide a Sim through Miniopolis to gain popularity and rise in the city. The blend of social simulation and quests brings a more guided pace than classic Sims games, with a good dose of humor. The modest presentation and the repetition of some tasks, however, show the support's limits. Kept exclusive to Japan, it will appeal mainly to fans of light simulation and the Sims franchise.
