It's a fun game, but to me it gets repetitive. With you keeping up on the stats like on the other Sims games it makes it to boring and repetitive. Its amazing how the game lest you gave your own style with the furni and the houses. Also seeing the little chibi characters make it hard to stop playing.

for younger kids

My 8 year old son loves this game! My 11 year old thinks it's boring so I would recommend it for younger kids. He's been playing it for almost a month and still has areas left to unlock so I think it's going to keep his interest for a long time.

Boring, but addictive

I bought this game Friday night. I played it all night, finally going to bed at 7 am. While it's loading (it takes a while to load stuff) I think how boring it is, but I just can't stop playing it. It's addictive. The Sims look like lego people, and it sounds like they're speaking French or sumthin. All you really do in the game is look for "essences", design the inside of buildings, and design houses. Overall, though, I like it.

First SIMS game

This is the first game of the SIMS genre that my family has ever purchased (or even really seen much of). For years I've heard people talk about "Sim this" and "Sim that" ... "Sim City" etc. Based on the popularity I figured there had to be something to it. So when my 9 year old wanted Wii MY SIMS I figured, "finally, we'll be part of the SIM craze."
Ok, I just don't get it. The game seems tedious... no the game IS tedious. And WHY god, WHY would EA make all the Sims talk in that "teletubby gibberish? As a parent do you know what an hour of listening to that babble will do to your brain? I'm getting ready to climb a tower with a high-powered rifle. If my son ends up liking this game, I'm moving the Wii to the basement.

I give it 2 stars because I know kids love it... so clearly I've crossed over into the "you hooligan kids get off my lawn" phase of life, but lord have them speak a real language.

Speaking through my girlfriend...

i bought this game for my girlfriend...and it was a game that i thought would be really stupid but i knew she wanted it...so i got it for her

at first it seemed incredibly boring but after watching her for a while i'm kind of getting into watching her do stuff and i find myself giving tips on what i think her sim should do...haha...i have yet to play it but its looking more and more appealing

she absolutely loves it and spends most of her time over at my house playing it...so i figured i would write a review...

she said that the game deserves 5 stars for fun but the game overall could use a couple improvements (as any game can) and so she said that for overall she would give it a 4

this game is great for anyone who likes a "calm" game to play with objectives and fun little things to do when you're not completing tasks (things like fishing, prospecting-basically walking around with a metal detector type thing, talking to people, planting trees and taking care of them, collecting objects, building all kinds of things, etc)...great for people of all ages

Lots of fun but something is missing

The game is great and have a lot of features that take advantage of the wii controller, the construction and design of furniture and other elements in the houses of all the characters make the game very appealing.

The downside of the game is that there is no interaction between character, unless you need essences for coloring and building materials.

If you think that this is another game of sims where interaction and relations are the main goal, you are better of buying another game. This is a different approach, a very nice but different approach.

I recommended if you have kids, because it is very fun.

My 6 and 8 year old love this game. Their friends do too. Unfortunately the game is designed for only one player at a time. This has been the only downside we've experienced.

More fun than I thought it was going to be

We bought this for our 10 year old son to play. He started building his town as I watched while doing other things around the house. My mistake was sitting down with him and really watching and helping him out!!! I was hooked!! The next night he helped me create my town. Now I understand how you can sit there for hours playing.

Highly addictive!

The game is very addictive will lots to do. You can spend endless hours building house, performing tasks or interacting with other Sims. My only complain: the lag time between actions. The game could have been designed better to avoid that.

fun for adults to play wih their kids

My son loved the idea of the Sims games for the computer but never quite got the hang of what buttons to press to get characters do do certain things (when social services came to take away a baby one time it was major trama in our house and I don't believe he's even tried the game since). While with most Wii games he has trouble working the controller to get it to do exactly what he wants on cue with MYSIMS he's having a blast creating his own little world.

If your a big fan of the regular Sims for the computer then you may not enjoy this game as it seems very simple and of course the characters are cartoonish but for kids and adults who just want to have fun, relax and take a break from everyday life then it's a fun game worth checking out.
