 Nice enough graphics, but pretty boring June 24, 2010
ChibiNeko (Whereever I go, here I am.)
While I do understand that the DS games can't be as grand as the wii versions & that the series is aimed predominantly at an audience younger than I, this game was just disappointing. I've played MySims Kingdom & MySims Agents for the wii & liked both of them. There's just something about the Sims franchise that makes these games addicting. While a spark of that exists in this game, it really was more of a chore & a disappointment than anything else.
While the wii version (which I also have & plan to play) is supposed to have you forming your own city, the main gist of the DS version is that you have to help give a boost to a resort town that's seen better days. As you play & progress, you'll unlock more shops, more sports & more people will visit your town.
This might seem interesting at first until you realize exactly how much repetition is required to really get the most out of everything. You can get through the game without stopping for the smaller bits like talking to all of your city's guests. The mini-games are interesting, but eventually those just get a little too dull to keep playing. If there was less dialogue in the game I'd just assume that it is because the game designers want to make the game easier for younger audiences, but younger gamers will get frustrated at the amount of reading & the older readers will be frustrated at how slow the game is. This was just a lackluster entry into the Sims franchise- this could have been done a LOT better than it was.
This is a definite rental game. I don't recommend buying it unless you plan on passing it along to someone else or just to complete your MySims collection. I purchased this used at my local GameStop & I really feel that my money would have been better spent on something else. This was fun enough for about a week, but not really beyond that.

A Kid's Review:
In this DS game, you are given a house in an old town that needs your help in order to become as popular and well-known as it once was. You meet new people and learn about new games like racquetball and fishing.
This game is great at keeping the player interested by introducing new "mini-games" and setting our new scores and rewards such as medals when a certain score is reached. The higher in level you are the more of the town you can access.
Mother's note: this game kept my preteen entertained for a couple of years. This reason, combined with the fact that it is a game in which you can "think" (vs just play), is why we gave it 5 stars.

The product arrived in the original packaging but without the instruction manual. Had to spend additional money to buy the manual on Ebay, so I feel the price didn't actually reflect what I was going to spend in the long run. Would have just purchased it new had I known what I was going to get.
