MySims for Wii doesn’t just bring a fun, playful style to the Sims franchise; it redefines Sims gameplay to deliver an entirely new experience! MySims takes character customisation to new heights.

Meeting people and forming relationship plays a major role in the game. As relationship develops, players will receive new blueprints or a new outfit to wear.

MySims opens on a town that is almost in ruins. You will have to rebuild the town to attract new characters. You will be given the pieces required to build your workshop and your home. Construction is simple, based on a diverse collection of prefab boxes and bric-a-brac that you can drag about using the Wii Remote. When you pick up a piece of flair for your structure, blue dots will appear wherever they can actually be placed. There are several different-themed sets of building blocks you can choose from…

Construction is simple, based on a diverse collection of prefab boxes and bric-a-brac that you can drag about using the Wii Remote. When you pick up a piece of flair for your structure, blue dots will appear wherever they can actually be placed. There are several different-themed sets of building blocks you can choose from, however the game will show first pieces that are most appropriate for the structure you’re building. Building furniture is easy, as the game highlights the pieces you need in green, and grabbed pieces will snap into position when you get them close enough with the Wii Remote. The sim sex is neutral, so you can mix male and female hairstyles, eyes, mouths, and outfits as you think correct. Reviewers find that even though the visuals are simple, they are quite impressive. The game looks sunny in a playful visual style that opens a suite of cheerful, location-specific tunes. MySims is about charmingly blocky characters who live in a similarly blocky town, making it more like a doll house than a game.

MySims (Wii)
Reviewer: Nintendo Life12 May 2009- Overall 8
Ultimately, MySims represents an interesting alternative to both EA’s Sims series and the aforementioned Animal Crossing. It’s far from perfect and one can safely assume that EA will be publishing plenty more variants in order to fine-tune the concept, but it has plenty to offer in terms of entertainment and innovation. Younger players will undoubtedly warm to its charms faster than older ones, but MySims further extends the appeal of the Wii as a console for... Read more

Unless you have been away from planet earth for the last 10 years, you undoubtedly have heard of a little franchise from EA called the Sims. What started as a spin off from their main Sim City brand grew in popularity and stature until it swallowed up all other life sim games and became the epitome of vicarious living. Whilst micro-management of these needy individuals or Sims if you will, may not be everyone's cup of tea but has proved the worth of a game with such wide... Read more

MySims (Wii): A good simple game.
Reviewer: Dooyoo4 weeks ago- Overall 8
I was pleasantly surprised by My Sims, I bought it on a whim as it was on sale at my local supermarket. From the look of it, I thought it looked more for children than adults. I was pleasantly surprised to find that even though it was more suitable for kids, I actually enjoyed building the objects for the houses, finding the new items and working out whom to go to next. I ended up quite addicted to it. The loading time can be very slow at times i noticed but other than... Read more

MySims (Wii) Very easy game to play. The characters are cartoon type. Takes a while to load between each level. When you have completed the game, the next time is can be different if you move in different characters. I completed in 48 hours and sold it on. It is the least interesting Sims game i have played to date Read more
