MySims Agents shares a lot in common with its Wii counterpart, but the two games exist in separate universes when it comes down to pure entertainment and enjoyment. The DS iteration has all the makings of a winning MySims endeavor, from the series' trademark character editor and city decorator to the potentially fun secret agent challenges, but the entire presentation is marred by sloppy controls and really tedious design choices. If you absolutely adore the handheld MySims titles preceding this one, you might be willing to suffer through the bad for the good, but everybody else would be better served cutting this agent loose.

Gamertell has posted a positive review of EA's MySims Agents for Wii.
From the review:
"While both prior MySims games were straightforward simulation and adventure games, where you'd need to create building and furniture on request, MySims Agents breaks away from the simulation elements and is strictly an adventure game. After playing, I'm pleasantly surprised and would consider MySims Agents my favorite entry in the series."
About writes: "Kid's games. For me, the phrase brings to mind tedious exercises in bland, cloying dialogue, nonsensical stories and dumbed-down, poorly implemented gameplay; games no one over ten could enjoy. But sometimes, just sometimes, a game aimed at children is just plain fun. Such is the case with MySims Agents."
