The Sims isn't for everyone. That's not "everyone" as in "casual" -- just that not all people who enjoy games necessarily find EA's life simulators appealing, despite the series' killer success. Last year's MySims gave the formula a cute makeover on Wii and DS, but it still aimed for the same Sims-loving audience. MySims Kingdom takes a turn for medieval fantasy and picks up some role-playing elements, which gives those who don't typically enjoy the Sims formula a bit more to look forward to.
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?"
