Amazon.co.uk Review
The Sims returns to the Wii in MySims - Kingdom. Take control of not just your own town but a whole kingdom. King Roland runs a pretty strange realm though, with his medieval castle neighbouring the cowboy-filled Frontier Land, the aptly named Adventure Land, and the Sci-Fi style Tomorrow Land.

King Roland’s kingdom has some very unusual subjects

Some of the kingdom’s lands are more high tech than others

Frontier Land is filled with cowboys and cowgirls

Pig wrestling is more fun than it sounds

As you visit each of the different worlds you’re able to help out the people you meet with your special construction abilities. Using a magical sceptre you can build and modify buildings however you want, using the Wii remote to pick up parts and change them however you want. You can do the same with furniture and other objects--even your own character!

This comes in very handy for everything from rebuilding rocket ships to helping placate angry dragons. Once people get to know you, you can stop by to socialise as you make your own home in the land of your choice.

Key Features

• Land of opportunity: Visit each of the very different realms and help out King Roland’s subjects in an exciting story of construction and co-operation.
• Join the crowd: Chat with all the game’s peculiar inhabitants, making friends or upsetting people on purpose.
• Edit everything: Design and build your own home with just a few gestures from the Wii remote and help fix up other buildings throughout the kingdom.
• Scavenger hunt: Constructing and changing buildings and furniture requires different essences that you find in each land by chopping down trees or digging up gardens.
• Looking good: The game’s graphics have been completely revamped with interactive loading screens and smooth animation.

Customer Reviews

An awesome sequel!
I loved the first MySims for Wii, it was so innocent and hours of fun. I particularly liked its versatility in furniture designs and the loveable characters that link with the DS version, and this new MySims does not disappoint! We have more adorable characters, with some characters coming along from the original like Chef Gino and Buddy. This game focuses much less on building furniture and more on a variety of challeneges. The gameplay is less linear than the first one and with less repetition. In this game, once you've learnt to build say, a sofa, you can build as many as you like instantly, without needed to put all the blocks together again. There are some lovely touchs like being able to mill flour in the machine you just fixed or ride he mechanical bull you powered with gears etc. And all of it gives you essences. Challenges vary from fixing machines with cogs and belts, to building things, to painting and furnishing. There are several different lands, collecting essences is more fun and easier, the idea of mana adds to the challenge and the animations are more fun than ever. Even the loading screens are worth watching!

Overall, a really nice improvement on the original and definitely worth a go if you liked the first one. Or even if you never played it but you like the concept.

Cute and quirky
I don't usually write reviews but I felt I had to respond to the people who made comments about the language on the game.

My Sims is related to The Sims games you can get for PC and Mac. It's like The Sims little brother or sister, cute and fun. The language is a generic language that isn't speaking but more sounds, it means it can appeal to all countries without having to have lots of different languages. Personally I don't see the problem with it. Surely it's better to read the writing, it's more stimulating for children rather then having to rely on spoken word.

For anyone doubting the game because of this....don't!!! I've played the first ever Sims games, The Sims 2 on Mac and My Sims on the DS. This Wii game is great, it's enjoyable with lots of great little tasks to do with exceptionally cute graphics and lots of things to find.

What I liked was the ease of use within the game, some puzzles are a challenge but you quickly get the hang of things. I'm 28 so some of the puzzles are going to be more difficult for younger kids, but that will just add to the game play and help them with thinking about problem solving. I liked the fact that all your tasks are in your menu, so if you save and quit when you start up again you can be reminded of what task you need to do. There is also a list of the scrolls you need to complete and the elements needed to complete them. The maps are helpful for seeing where certain characters are on the islands. I did get stuck on a couple of occasions and looked online for help.

I think this is a really quirky little game, and enjoyable for many ages. Great for kids and an easy and enjoyable game for adults who like non-pressure games that are easy on the eye.

Nice gentle game
You play a magician - the training part of the game takes a while, but shows you how to use all the tools you will need on a fun gentle way. Aimed at kids, but fun for adults who dont want too much sudden moving or races against time. I havent done many of the puzzles yet, but definately enjoying the game so far.
