I have a couple questions. Whoever answers all of them to the best of their ability, gets the best answer and ten points.
Can you:
Have kids on the PS2 version?
Two Story houses?
Drive down the road in a car/ scooter?
Start out as a kid and grow up?
Do they:
Have real voices (English)?
Have a lot more stuff than The Sims 2 and The Sims 2 pets?
Have more jobs?
Have more houses?
Have more/ cuter clothes?
I think that's all for now. If I think of some more, I will add more later. Thanks! Remember, 10 points is on the line!! Okay - here goes;
1) Yes. In parts, it's vital to have kids to progress the Story Mode.
2) Unfortunately not - one storey houses only, but there is quite a bit of room on most plots, so there's a lot of opportunity to build outwards rather than up.
3) Kinda. When moving between locations, the sims drive vehicles (such as scooters and cars), but you (the player) don't actually drive them, you just see a cut-scene of them driving down the road autonomously whilst the location loads.
4) 'fraid not - I think that only started with The Sims 2. In Bustin' Out, you start (and finish) as an adult. Also, as I said before, you can have children - but they'll never grow up.
5) Nope - it's still 'Simlish' - I think that's part of the fun though!
6) I highly doubt it - The Sims 2 is a lot more advanced, especially since you can download more items. There's a good range of items in each game though.
7) There are seven career paths in Bustin' Out; Counter Culture, Paramilitary, Jock, Gangster, Mad Scientist, Fashion Victim and Movie Star. The Sims 2 has ten.
Each career path in both games is made up of ten different jobs, meaning that overall, Bustin' Out has 70 jobs, whilst The Sims 2 has 100.
8) In the Bustin' Out Story Mode, there are thirteen houses which are pre-built. Free Play offers a sand-box type mode where players can build their own houses.
I imagine there are probably more in The Sims 2.
9) I have no exact idea of numbers, but it's pretty likely that The Sims 2 has more, especially since you can design your own clothes and download extras.
In Bustin' Out, a lot of the clothes options are unlocked via the Story Mode, whereby meeting a sim for the first time, or making friends with them grants you access to parts of their outfit. Clothes can also be unlocked by completing goals.
To be honest, a lot of the clothes are more fashion-based and 'wacky', than cute.

Overall, both Bustin' Out and The Sims 2 are great games, which you'll be playing for weeks no doubt. But if you've got a choice, and your PC/PS2 can handle it, The Sims 2 is a much superior and more expansive game, although Bustin' Out can be played in two-player mode all the way through, which is an advantage if you're looking to play it with a friend.

That any help? I'll add this to my WatchList in case you decide to add any more questions. Okay - here goes;
