4 out of 5 stars Good game but not great   September 21, 2008
Though I like this game but its not too great in comparison to other Sims games.


4 out of 5 stars fun but...   September 7, 2008
This game is really fun but it can get repetitive. In my opinion it's kind of easy. I only have one problem though...how do you find rock essences? thanks if you can help!


3 out of 5 stars Repetative, but okay   September 5, 2008
Definitely not what I was expecting from a Sims title. It gets very repetative and there seems to be no big goal in sight, like there is with most of the DS and GBA titles. I think they could've done a much better job, and I hope My Sims Kingdom has a lot of changes.


4 out of 5 stars Fantastic for the Crafting/Customizing Focused   August 13, 2008

Let's get it out of the way - MySims is not much like Sims. It's more Animal Crossing lite with an extremely detailed crafting and customization section. You won't get deep relationships and such out of this, what you will get is an amazingly adaptable game that can be compelling - if crafting is your cup of tea.

Essentially in this game you have the ability to use "essence", sort of spirits of various items, to customize furniture and objects. These add personality to said objects, and you use them to help Sims furnish their homes. However, you also get to design their homes, decide who moves in where, and even unlock new options for outfits, hairstyles, and more. Soon you're able to voyage to the far ends of the town in search of rare essences and new fronteirs.

The game is highly, highly crafting-centric, doing so with a surprisingly good engine that's overall pretty intuitive - and is like using building blocks. The level of freedom is amazing - you can take that simple Chair blueprint and turn it into a skull-bedecked throne, or give a Beat Box an Egyptian feel with some color choices. I myself even built an Interoceter from "This Island Earth."

This is all presented in a colorful, charming, cartoony manner with memorable characters and some amusing jokes (the band "Nothing But Drums" figures prominently). The Sims, which are pretty pre-programmed, are still endearing.

Frankly, this isn't a game for anyone who didn't enjoy building blocks, model building, and other crafts. Its not quite Sims really - but it is a lot of fun for people that do.

If you are looking for a game that is easy for kids around the ages of 8-10, then you should pick this game up. It's a pretty basic game to play and it will keep you occupied for long periods of time. Though it seems a little monotone, it's graphics are really good and the plot is pretty interesting. I like the ability to choose who you want in your little town and build it up based on their needs and wants.
