It's not gonna be 'Urban Sims', but The Urbz...

The Game Boy Advance version of The Urbz is the sequel to EA's #1 GameBoy Advance game of 2003 and is being developed by EA's Maxis studio in conjunction with Griptonite Games, an Amaze Entertainment Studio. Players will hit the big city and work to increase the reputation of their Urbz to gain access to the hottest spots in town. Players start out in a city on the brink of ruin. After getting fired from their job, they'll stumble upon Daddy BigBucks' devious plot to take over the city. Players are challenged to thwart his evil schemes, while building their rep to become the biggest "player" in the city.

Players gain access to new vehicles like a hover craft to explore 25 brand new locations including Urbania, Sim Quarter, and the Bayou where they will interact with residents, master eight lively mini-games such as Moogoo Monkey Madness and Motocross Mayhem, unlock new Xizzle motive power ups, and collect over 120 new objects. Players will link two GameBoy Advance systems together in the Multiplayer Caf? and play head-to-head mini-games, unlock new features, and trade rare items.

The Urbz will be unveiled to industry insiders on May 12-14 at the Electronic Entertainment Exposition (E3) in Los Angeles. The Urbz is scheduled to be released simultaneously on all platforms in late 2004.
