EA showed off a playable version of MySims Kingdom at E3 2008 and IGN were there to give it a try. Now, IGN were not strangers to the franchise. They played through and reviewed the original MySims, after all. So going in, IGN knew what they wanted to see in the game. Namely, a robust online community feature and more Wii remote interactivity in the world. Sadly, the former has not made it over to the franchise yet. Perhaps next year. But there is more Wii remote interactivity to speak of, and IGN will.
PBG plays MySims Kingdom for some unexplained reason. Is it really as awful as it looks? Well...yes.
Green Pixels: Plunking down $50 for a brand-new game can be a gamble -- it's a lot of money to pay for something that you could end up hating. However, most games don't stay full-price for long, which is why we scoured the inventories of four major retailers (Amazon, GameStop, Target, Walmart) to find a slew of great titles that are now priced at just $20. For the cost of one freshly released game, you can buy two older titles and still have $10 left to spend on snacks. (And we all know the importance of snacks.)
RealGamer writes: "MySims Kingdom for the DS is very similar in principle to its Wii brethren, just scaled down. Instead of a host of different islands to explore and customise you have a single town that has undergone a massive upheaval due to someone stealing all the decorations?"
