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.

Review Summary
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.

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 game is very simply said not a "The Sims, Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon" hybrid dream but regrettably a (too) fast finished, very streamlined, very simplified version of the Sims, where you can grow and hug ghosts. That counts for something right? A more ambitious goal and an extra six months, year perhaps, and this could have been the hybrid dream. Read more

We really want to like this game and congratulate EA once again on another fine Wii offering, but it falls disappointingly short of what it could achieve. After excellent initial promise, MySims simply falls flat on its face. The best game of its type on the Wii, but seeing as there isn't another game like it on the Wii yet that isn't saying much. You'll either love it or you'll hate it, but this game left us feeling wonderfully indifferent. Read more

MySims
Reviewer: G423 October 2007- Overall 6

A Sim by any other name My Sims is a nice beginning for a potentially new game franchise. Right now, it has more in common with creativity software than a video game. If there were more challenges and goals in the game, it would make all of the building you have to do more palatable and worthwhile. In its current form, My Sims needs a little more game to go with all that play. Read more

My Sims
Reviewer: krog, swapgame.com14 December 2007- Overall 6

'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

Pretty Good Game
Reviewer: Hawk91 from Southampton, lovefilm.com22 October 2007- Overall 4

MySims is a pretty good game. While for the first 30 minutes the excitement of building your own things, helping others to build there things, moving people in to different spots and designing their houses, is very good, you very quickly start to tire of doing the same things, just for different people. The game throws in little things like new tools to help you to build the town and to keep you playing, but you just realise that the new place you can get to, is just ... Read more
