GameSpy has checked out The URBZ on the PlayStation 2, and posted a preview about it. Just like the game, the preview is mostly about the rep of your urb. For instance, they describe the start of the game:

"As you start the game, you're introduced to Darius, the self-styled "King of the City", who will give you tips and information throughout the game via updates on your XAM, or Exchange Access Messaging system. The XAM works a lot like a PDA phone, in that it allows you to send and receive text messages, store inventory, and take in-game photographs."

New is also the information that you rep might increase when you let your urb break the law, e.g. by mugging other urbz on the street. By doing so your reputation among the punks will grow, but it isn't good around other folks like the rich ones. This time, you will also have to actually pay for clothes, tattoos and piercings you dress your urb up with when creating it. In the previous version, Bustin' Out, you just had to unlock the items. Finally, the jobs and mini-games are mentioned, but also the taking a rest and the general look and feel of the game. Make sure to read the entire preview if you're looking forward to this game.
