Faster, less tedious than the first MySims November 30, 2008
The most noticeable change is that Kingdom saves much faster than the first MySims game. There is no moving in/out of Sims. The game starts with all the Sims in place, it is the player's task to find them and help them renovate and decorate. The exterior building feature is much the same, but furniture building tasks are gone. Essences are easier find and tally up quickly. Sometimes it felt like Kingdom is actually a prequel to MySims. The graphics and tasks are more simplistic. This game will be easier for kids because the game tells you what you need to meet the task requirements. We are 45 and 32 and love the MySims games. If you like MySims, PLEASE TRY THE ANIMAL CROSSING GAMES, TOO.
 Not as good as first My Sims November 28, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I loved the first My Sims game for the Gamecube. I found this one to be not as much fun. Fishing and prospecting are a little different because of the Wii controllers. I didn't like the constant need to go back and forth between the person I had to help and my friend to get the power to do the project. I felt it just dragged in that sense. With the first My Sims, I had a hard time putting away the game, with this one, I played twice and haven't bothered to pick it up again.
 Disappointing Sequel November 24, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I completely addicted to the first MySims game for Wii, but I wished they would come out with a sequel where they fixed the loading time issues and the frustrating build system. Well I was so excited to see MySims Kingdom (MSK) released, I bought it right away because the reviews said the loading time was nil and the building system was better. Well after a brief playtime I realized this was not the sequel I was waiting for.
For some reason the addictive quality of MS is not present in MSK.
Instead of getting requests to build specific pieces of furniture or buildings for people, you have to use pre-made items to fill in buildings or areas and meet certain criteria (i.e it needs to have 10 spooky items and 10 cute items). What is lost is the total customizablility that MS gives. You could design endless possibilities of types of furniture and fixtures based on blueprints or create something totally unique without a blueprint.
MSK involves getting a Scroll that requires a certain amount of Essences in order to complete. When you complete the scroll, you get more items in your inventory to use when designing rooms and spaces. After you get all the scrolls, acquiring essences is pointless. Completing tasks for people takes a few seconds and all you get are outfits to wear in your little dress-up corner. Total loss of motivating factor for me. I didn't play MS for the outfits, I played for the design and customizing element.
Also important to note that MSK takes about 2 hours to beat and after you win the tasks the Sims require of you are mundane and boring. Original MS was much longer and satisfying. If you haven't played the first one, get it instead. The only reason I play MSK is because I paid money for it and feel guilty about it sitting on the shelf.
The build system is just as frustrating as well - for example, it's near impossible to get fencing sections to make corners. While MS was frustrating too, at least it was a very intuitive system.
 Sims lover November 16, 2008

I've been a fan of the sims since the very first one. When it came to the wii I was elated. Although this game differs from the usual sims style, it is still tons of fun to play. I agree with the other reviewers as far as loading goes, huge improvement.
Great step up from MySims! November 12, 2008

If you liked MySims your gonna love this one. If you didn't, then you'll like this one much better! The load time is great, on the first MySims that was a huge downfall for me! You don't have to make everything piece by piece unless you really want to, which is great because that got a bit frustrating in the first one. There is a lot to do even after the credits run there are MANY more things to find and unlock. It is definatly worth it!
