The My Sims is a video game of the Wii-format that is a product of EA (Electronic Arts) Games. It is based on the popular simulation game “The Sims”. This Wii life simulation video game can only be played using the single-player mode of game.

As a Sims character in the game My Sims, the mission of the player is to resurrect a decrepit abandoned town by luring back residents and businesses into this run-down neighborhood. The player needs to increase the town’s population little by little until the entire town looks progressive and occupied again. The player needs to 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. Those 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.

    Whether this homogenization is the result of horsepower limitations of the wimpy Wii or simply to better target the younger-skewing audience of Wii owners is moot; X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a much lesser game for it. (That Activision is not supplying any Wii screenshots in the Wolverine press kit is telling. Meanwhile, Nintendo.com has posted just three.) Despite restrained (and therefore surprisingly effective) use of Wii Remote motion controls, the overall experience... Read more

    The bed with wooden posts instead of a mattress, that suspiciously lewd sculpture, and the sprawling skull-laden throne…it’s all your doing. My Sims is basically a fully customizable village, letting you craft every house and piece of furniture from scratch without the aid of a magical in-game catalogues. The building mechanics function well when you aren’t working with small pieces and precise placement, and the cute visual style is a nice change for the... Read more

    Fun: I bought this for my little sister. I never really played since I'm on a strict diet of Pokemon and Tetris, occasionally sneaking in a Katamari Damarcy here and there. For that reason, my little sister told me how to rate it. What the hey, I listened to her. Mysims is cuter than the Sims, and simpler--it's like Basic Lego compared to one of those fancy outer space alien robot war sets they also have. So as you can guess, there are a lot less features than in the... Read more

    MySims is enjoyable and easy to play. The objectives are not too hard and allow the player to be as creative as they wish. The characters are interesting and amusing, the ability to customise everything is particularly enjoyable and the controls are simple enough that anyone can pick them up. It is a nice, fun and relaxing game to play. Read more

    Wolverine, the cinematic cross between Nightmare on Elm Street‘s Freddy Krueger and serial killer Fred West is back for his third outing on home consoles with the release of X–Men Origins: Wolverine, a title that capitalises on the simultaneous release of the box office movie. As the name predicts, the game is about origins – tracking back to how Wolverine came to be – and filling in lots of the back story to everyone‘s favourite adamantium clawed super hero.... 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
