    Kingdom shelves any cleverness, attaching training wheels to your creativity for the first two-thirds of the game. It's not until the last few islands that you're given an invitation to be creative.

Taking the well-worn "you're the person destined to save our world" approach, Kingdom nevertheless puts a new spin on this old plot, and does well with it. As the player, you will be tasked with the construction of buildings and facilities for the inhabitants of various islands (the game's chapter system), and completing tasks unlocks new islands with new quests. Once the game is 2/3 complete, the existing islands develop a new series of quests, giving second-playthrough fun during the initial playthrough. Even replays of this game don't get old, as there are hundreds of ways to complete various tasks. Among the most entertaining are the mechanical puzzles, requiring the player to build a machine to transfer mechanical or electrical energy from component to component to complete some sort of task (turn a fan, power a computer, what-have-you). Without any elements that would be excessively difficult or troubling for younger audiences, but with complexity enough to entertain older audiences, MySims Kingdom is a surprise winner of a game and well worth the purchase price.… Full Review »

The dialogue and animations are SUPER cute and funny in a way that adults can enjoy while still being safe for kids (like a Pixar movie). The construction is great, the characters/levels look cool, and there is hardly any load times. GREAT imporvements over the original. Buy this game (:… Full Review »
