This Wii-format video game is a product of EA (Electronic Arts) Games which is founded on “The Sims”. It is a single-player only type of Wii life simulation video game.

Features

As a Sims character, your mission is to resurrect a decrepit abandoned town by luring back residents and businesses into this run-down neighborhood. You are to increase the town’s population little by little until the entire town looks progressive and occupied again. You rely on Nunchuck controls to do direct-movement game play in the Wii-format version. The Wii Remote is reserved for object movement and building only. Anyone used to earlier Sims video games may remark that the My Sims characters look like Japanese anime characters and not like the earlier Sims characters in other titles.

MySims is a fun game mostly for youngsters. The story of MySims is that you come across a vacant abandoned town that needs to be rebuilt. The town’s Mayor helps you build your house and a workshop and then you are free to do what you want. You can discuss with random people, build things in your workshop, and even build houses for new residents. Together with building houses you’ll be doing interior designing items like chairs, beds, ovens, etc. Whenever somebody moves in you build them a house, ask them what they want to be built, and then go build it in your workshop. Building things in your workshop will keep the fun going. Though it is simple, the visuals are good. The game is sunny with a playful mood. The cartoons presentation in the game stand for the silly and weird happenings in and make The Sims seem more reasonable. Gender is not important. You don’t have to choose your sim’s sex, and you can freely mix male and female hairstyles, eyes, mouths, and outfits. Construction is simple, based on a diverse collection of boxes and bric-a-brac that you can drag about using the Wii Remote. When you pick up a piece of flair for your structure, blue dots will appear to show where you can actually place them. There are several different-themed sets of building blocks that you can choose from and you will also earn blueprints for more ornate furniture. MySims is a weird but fun game.

    MySims ofrece una gran variedad de opciones que harán que cada partida sea única. El tema de las esencias me ha parecido muy acertado, pues gracias a ello se conseguirá dirigir la partida en todo momento. Además, tendrá un control muy cómodo y sencillo que hará que nos olvidemos del Wiimote para centrarnos en lo que ocurre en la pantalla. Parece que será una versión alternativa de Los Sims muy interesante y nos falta menos de un mes para conocerlo en profundidad. Read more

    It probably took about five minutes for someone at EA to decide to put The Sims, one of the best selling PC franchises of all time, on the Wii, the hottest selling new console on the market today. Oddly, the game hardly resembles its PC counterpart -- to its detriment. Read more

    The Sims bandwagon keeps on rolling, but whereas the Wii’s rushed out conversion of The Sims 2: Pets was a bit of damp dog, this tailor-made effort is superlative stuff. In fact it’s more like a medley of Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon than a proper Sims game - you don’t have to make them go to the toilet, take the trash out, get a job or anything of the sort. Did anybody actually enjoy those tasks anyway? Read more

    Overall, My Sims is a great start to what could be a fantastic series. If they'd flesh the game out a bit, EA would have a game that would easily rival Animal Crossing , offering players the chance to fully realize their town from the ground up instead of simply trading shirts with stupid animals that will just as soon steal from you. For now, however, My Sims provides a nice groundwork and an enjoyable outlet to express your creativity - at least in small doses. It'... Read more

    'My Sims' is a mixed bag of a game, and as such, should be reviewed on many different levels. First off, who will like this game? Well, if you are a hard-core 'Sims' fan, then this may be a title to steer clear of. All of the complex control and resource management that is present in a usual 'Sims' game has been stripped from this Wii version. In essence it feels like 'Sims-for-kids', although that might sound a little critical to this games fans. If you liked Animal ... Read more
