MySims on Wii (2007)

Extremely dissapointing

Richard Barakat from Wales , 28/09/2007

I was so disappointed when I placed MySims into my trusty Wii. From the poor quality of the cursor and menu graphics/items to the annoying (and unhealthy sounding) and all together way too frequent loading times, I was put back before the game even started.

When it did start, I was presented with a cute and pretty little area to play with, but that was about it. The game is painfully slow to begin with, and its entirety has about as much depth as a squashed pancake. The mayor wants 'this' to be built. Collect 'these' essences. Build 'this' and trek back to the character to give it to her/him, complete with interrupting and jagged load times. Repeat this with numerous characters and you've pretty much got the game in a nutshell.

The customisation of your character is extremely poor, much worse than that of your Mii character (which is simplistic but great). Building houses is less involving than using duplo... and at least duplo is fun. Being able to stick apples, fish, or whatever you find onto whichever object you're building didn't involve me at all, and the ability to build freely around the basic blueprints didn't make up for any of my latter criticisms.

I really wish I liked this game, as I pre-ordered it and was really looking forward to the Wii version of the Sims. No real relationships, no families to build, need for sleep, food or even money was a big no no for me. Do not buy this I plead, unless it's for a very young child, but it may be worth the rent just to put your mind at ease and see if you agree with me.

Sorry about the rant!

Good

This game has had alot of bad reviews by people who have rented it but i think that was a good game, making all of the towns folks house and make your own furniture was great, you could get yours and thier house looking the way you want it, i didnt want to give this game back. This game is only good if you have a little pactience as getting the essence is quite hard and if you like sims then this game may be good for you, try it.

Not a good rent - too casual.

Overall this game is ok. A little monotonous. But there's a high level of customization and you can make things exactly how you like.

But for rent it's not good. It's a bit like the PC sims in that you don't bung it in and work towards an objective you just casually mess round and make your house and then you get bored put it back in the case. And get it back out later. So for rent where you try and get the most out of a game in a week or less it's not very good. You just make stuff casually. I can't explain it very well but to put simply: TOO CASUAL TOO RENT.
