MySims PC Game Review - Doing a 180 on the Sims Franchise

I've always loved Simulation type games, and EA has really set a mark for themselves in that category haven't they? While older Sim games have always been geared for the more adult market, MySims really defined itself as a more young-at-heart game. Thats not to say that a lot of the adults didn't enjoy it either. MySims is based on a fantasy world that's fallen onto hard times. Basically, there are no more builders left and everyone has left the kingdom. You will be enlisted by the mayor to try and help repopulate the place. You're basically the only builder left and the fate of the kingdom rests in your hands.

Gameplay is pretty basic for those who are familiar with life simulation games. There are missions to finish of course, but the freehand concept applies so that you can still build things as you wish. Concepts like Essences (which will help you create more Sims) with the build menu aren't that hard to grasp. There might be a little groping in the dark, but in time (after a few minutes of repetition) you'll be able to wrap your mind about it.

Deliciously cute! I'm impressed with the graphics of this game. You'll notice the great distinction between MySims and other Sim releases from EA, as this version tries to stick to a younger crowd. I love the design aspects of everything; the visuals are stunning - kind of like a spin between Lego and anime designs. They're pleasing to the eyes and will certainly add lots of fun factor for when you're at your workshop!

If you've played one Sim game, then you should know that dialogues in Sim World are unintelligible to the human ears and that the sounds will always be world appropriate, which is how it should be. Trust me though, you won't really notice the sounds when you're playing this game.

An excellent sim game for all ages, it doesn't really matter what people say about the basic gameplay or the lack of the many daily needs we've grown used to other Sims game. MySims is really about letting loose your inner child and creating a little utopia of your own inside a digital screen. This game is a must have.
