 Boring! November 11, 2007
19 out of 27 found this review helpful
The DS version is absolutely awful. I bought both the DS version and the WII as it looked interesting. The promos are for the WII version. I actually bought a WII just to play the WII version of this game. I'm completely sastified with the WII version, but the DS needs to be avoided.
MySims not as Easy As It looks. November 3, 2007
2 out of 7 found this review helpful
My 11 year old daughter. Told me this was not an easy game to play off the back. This same kid said that about the Sims 2 PC game. After three months has every expansion disk and fun pack. It involved and takes some getting used to for a kid that never ever play the Sims. It alot of fun and cute to begin with. So give the game time and the kid would have hours of fun with it. The Wii version is who lot better version.
 The Novelty Wears Off October 23, 2007

I bought this game the day it came out because I was enticed by all those ads I saw on MTV in the weeks leading up to the game's release. I'm not a Sims fan, but wanted to try this game out because I think the graphics look so much cuter than the original Sims.
Since I have no previous game-play experience with other Sims games, I really don't have complaints about the limited character interaction or lack of town customization capabilities. The basic point of the game is to make the Sims town thrive, and it's up to you to make the place pretty enough to make tourists want to visit and business owners to come and open up shops. As determined as I was to make this happen when I first started playing this game, I find little motivation to keep going.
Pros:
* Customization of your Sim allows you to change your look any time you like
* Bright, fun graphics and a variety of characters with their own quirky personalities
* You don't have to worry about basic needs, e.g., eating or sleeping
* It's easy to earn money through the mini-games or simply talking to other characters
Cons:
* Mini-games can be repetitive and offer little to no challenge even after progressing from the easy to hard levels
* The townspeople can become boring quickly because they repeat phrases day after day
I have owned this game for a month now, and I only have a total play time of just under seven hours. Most of that time was probably from the first few days after I bought it. It doesn't have a high replay value, in my opinion. I turn on the game once in a while just to walk around the various areas of town and take in the cute, colorful graphics. But as far as engaging games go, this one doesn't really cut it. The Wii version looks much more interesting and offers more features (as should be expected on a more advanced console). If you have a Wii console and a DS and want to play this game, I'd recommend the Wii version.
 Animal Crossing Comparison is Exactly Correct October 12, 2007

Everyone complains that Mysims plays like Animal Crossing. That is exactly what I expected, and what I wanted. I read the reviews, and understood what this game offered, it is soft and cool in a Cutesy Animal Crossing/Harvest Moon kind of way.
You dont worry about needs, eating and sleeping and such. But you do have tons of little jobs or challenges to accomplish at your own pace. This probably shouldnt have been called Sims anything, that really is kind of misleading, Because this doesnt follow the sims formula at all.
Anyone who likes Animal Crossing will love this, if you dont like AC then stay away and go with Sims 2 or Castaways for your sims fix.
Why play a game if it's only fun AFTER 5 hours of play? October 10, 2007

I don't know if it's because I'm not a huge Animal Crossing fan, but this game pretty much stank out loud. Very slow, not engaging at all. Basically you walk around and talk to people...mini-games get unlocked very slowly, and weren't terribly fun. I expected SOOOO much more from EA, and I'm a HUGE fan of the Sims/Sims 2 but this game is just plain bad. The Wii version appears to be much more dynamic, and probably worth the $$$, but the DS version, not so much. Buy it used, if you must try it for yourself.
