    One word: Boring

    I found this game to be tedious, frustrating, and incredibly boring. The user spends the whole time being ordered to build things for the town's whining residents and bossy mayor, and no time actually doing anything fun. Plus the game is difficult to navigate and it takes FOREVER for every new screen to load.

    Wow, this game is soooo overated! Ok, it was fun for the first couple hours or so. After that, the game gets very repetitive and boring. You do the same thing over and over again. Might be a fun game for young kids but definitely not as fun for people in their 20s. My biggest problem with this game is the loading screens...so many of them and they take sooo long.

    A fun game, but definitely for children. Since they've chopped off a lotof ideas that were in the original Sims games (such as making your friends) you're restricted. Still, better than the other Sims console games by a mile.

    This is a game that gets variable rates. It's just a personal experience. One person brings it back after playing an hour or less, while someone else just keeps designing houses and stuff for the sweet people in town! It is a great base for an even better sequel. I hope that they give it somewhat more depth and polishing then it will be even better! I'm going back to design a yakuzi.

    This is an interesting attempt at making a fun game, but it soon gets boring and repetitive. In MySims, you build houses, furniture, and everything else inside a house to build a town.

However, as the game wears on, it turns into being assigned to this with these essences. The essences are quite easy and boring to obtain. When I was about three and a half out of five stars in the game, it got boring with twenty-five tasks to do and at least three new people every ten minutes or so. The graphics in the game are colorful but not very great and the music is terrible. The interactions with other Sims in this game are very disappointing and simple compared to The Sims and the game has way too long loading times. Don't get me wrong, the game is fun, but only for a little while.… Expand

    MySims is one of the best games I have ever played. I liked Animal Crossing:Wild World and how you decorated and designed stuff, and I liked The Sims how you build your very on city. MySims is a combo of both and unlike animal crossing, you don't need to play everyday to make sure you can maintain your town. The only negative things are the long loading times and fact that you are MySims is one of the best games I have ever played.

    Started off well as it kept your interest. The game had alot of things to do, such as, collect essences, meet new people, collect new tools from earning star ratings for your town and to build items for your home. SO far the game was very good. However, when you got to the last level [Level 5] it went downhill from then on.

SO far the game was very good. However, when you got to the last level [Level 5] it went downhill from then on. When you complete the star levels, you don't get anything, all that you get is "Uber Sims" coming to your town because it is " a 5 star town". If you gave many items coloured in their interest to them they would become your best friend. They then woulkd give you a their outfit. I thought this was very disappointing and i felt like they either ran out of ideas or got lazy. This was probably the worse ending to a Sims fame ever they couldve thought of. Also another thing that i thought couldve been made for the game was that they couldve made a train or something so it would have been made easy going to and from the desert, forest and town. They had the railway, the station and part of the train's route mapped out in the game. They must've decided to be lazy and not bother to do this but instead, give crappie "uber" sims for the ending reward, which you've worked for. For these reasons it lost marks.… Expand

    Cute and engaging, but... I am afraid it is going to ruin my Wii. I've never heard the disc drive grind so much on any system. None of my other games do this. Also, you spend 50% of your time watching loading screens. Go in a house, load, go outside, load, talk to someone, load, load, load. Then, at certain times the framerate stutters and skips (whilst grinding the drive continues). Cute and engaging, but... I am afraid it is going to ruin my Wii.

    I dont recommed this to older guys. im a 20 year old girl and i found this to be sickingly cute. i felt like i was going to gag from all the cuteness. that's a lot coming from someone who used to love cutesy sanrio crap. i LOVE that you can change the tone of your voice in the beginning of the game. but the slow load times were a disapointment. the game is RELAXING so i'll play I dont recommed this to older guys. im a 20 year old girl and i found this to be sickingly cute. i felt like i was going to gag from all the cuteness. that's a lot coming from someone who used to love cutesy sanrio crap. i LOVE that you can change the tone of your voice in the beginning of the game. but the slow load times were a disapointment. the game is RELAXING so i'll play this if i get insomnia, but it's relaxing in a really good way, like if i was on a crack and decided i wanted to be bob the builder in a deserted lalaland. if i was a guy, i wouldnt want to be caught playing this game. it's really too bad you CANT socialize like in the other sims games, but that's not what MySims is about. it's really just building. did i mention this is sickingly cute? but it's impossible to play this and be in a bad mood.. except if you're having trouble building something specific and it's taking far too long, then you just feel a little mentally challenged because i didnt want to take my time. overall, this is probably the only game i have that wont collect dust.… Expand

    This is not a typical SIMS game, to compare it is missing the point. This is a new franchise and as such is immensly fun. The building and creation aspect is pretty much the main part of the game and they are definitely fun. To complain that it's all about building, is missing the point entirely.

    This game was fun in all but i think that I prefer the other version of Sims. I liked it more because it felt more interactive and I liked how they had different jobs and goals and stuff like that. I would like it more if they did a regualr version of Sims for Wii.

    Gameplay mainly consists of you collecting essences to build furniture for the townsfolk with the occasional building of a house thrown in. It's really simple, and yet it's so addictive. I lost 5 hours to this game last night alone.

    MySims if refreshing, relaxing, progressive fun. It will keep the casual, creative player interested for hours. The progressive expansion of the work makes sure to keep things interesting.

I also ran into some FPS problems when creating my Sim which was pretty crappy anyway due to there not being many customization options.

    The camera angle is crap because it's always facing the ground so you end up playing threw the mini map. There are also alot of loading screens so have fun sitting around staring at a spinning circle.

    This game is just so awful I could not carry on. I will have you know that I actually burned this game in my backyard.    … Expand

    My Sims price ranges from where you buy it. But, the price is usually low. This game has easy and basic controls. Using only the wii remote and a nunchuck. My sims has simple graphics , but still a reasonable amount of detail. This game runs smoothly, but might have a few places where it stops for a second. This game will hold your attention for hours at a time. I think this game is perfect for 6-11 year olds, but it’s still entertaining as you create objects and meet new sims.

    My Sims takes you on an adventure where you try to fix a run down town up to a five stars rank. Level up in your star rank to attract sims you might want to place in your town. Create your character with different clothes, hair styles, voice tone, and facial features. At the beginning of the game, you meet the mayor. She takes you to an empty lot where you are supposed to build your workshop. Later you need to build your house. After that, you can create and customize your town. As you level up in stars, you can unlock the forest, desert, and even on ocean. Decide who live in your town and who won’t. Decorate your house with objects you created Color those objects using essences you grow, harvest, and discover.

    Once I started playing My Sims, I got right into it. Some of the things I like was the different types of sims. From a sweet flower girl to a “shh” happy librarian and surprisingly a mad scientist. I also liked how I got to create anything. I liked all the essences I could find around town. Some of my favorites was bolts, rockets, stars, and crayons. Some things I didn’t like was there wasn’t any animals running around. Another thing I didn’t like was there was limited space and I couldn’t put all the sims that I wanted to in my town. One of the last things I didn’t like was I could only put a limited number of constructed and decorative items in my house.

    But, I think overall this game is fun and interactive. I believe it is appropriate for all ages. My Sims is a perfect game to play by yourself. It runs smoothly considering it has a lot of details. My Sims is interesting and entertaining game. Once you start playing it hard to quit. I think it was one of the best things I got for Christmas.    … Expand

    Barely recognizable as a "Sims" game, MySims also lacks the compelling variety and randomness of "Crossing". [Oct 2007, p.84]

    It's "Lego Animal Crossing." A brilliant idea that deserves to be a monster hit. [Oct 2007, p.74]

    It's better than "Animal Crossing" and "Harvest Moon" in almost every way, whle also being a completely different kind of game...Barring a few options we'd have liked to see, it's a perfect second life experience. [Oct 2007, p.78]
