 Great step up from MySims! November 12, 2008

If you liked MySims your gonna love this one. If you didn't, then you'll like this one much better! The load time is great, on the first MySims that was a huge downfall for me! You don't have to make everything piece by piece unless you really want to, which is great because that got a bit frustrating in the first one. There is a lot to do even after the credits run there are MANY more things to find and unlock. It is definatly worth it!
not redundant for My Sims original owners December 30, 2008

My 10-year-old daughter and I both loved the original My Sims (I actually "finished" the game with all 5 stars) This game is not just the same game with different pictures. The actual play is quite different. This game takes advantage of the wiimote, and you get to perform the actions of chopping wood, etc. (not just clicking).
The beginning is a little annoying,for someone who already knows My Sims, but probably a good tutorial for newbies. Some major differences:
* you don't have to go to your workshop to build things. It seemed like I spent most of my time going back and forth to the workshop in My Sims. This one, there is a simple 'switch' to go in building mode whenever, wherever.
* more control over actions. When you 'do something' to another sim, it's not just 'be nice' or 'be mean.' You actually choose what action you will do. I really liked this new feature.
* few options in the beginning, makes it great for new players. I remember being quite overwhelmed in the beginning of My Sims because the choices seemed endless. Here, you're given just a few choices to begin, and the farther you go in the game, the more choices you have.
* really cool pirate chic who hangs out with you and helps you. Of course, Buddy the Bellhop is still there, falling on his face.
Having completed the original My Sims, I'm looking forward to playing this game more.
Great Game - A 19-year-old's review June 15, 2009

This is a super fun game. It's similar to some of my other favorite games, including Animal Crossing, the Harvest Moon games and some of the Lego PC games I played a few years back. I've never played a Sims game before because I didn't care for their style, but this MySims game has a super-cute world and characters that are very appealing (if you like cutesy games like I do).
Pros:
Collecting game: There are tons of things to unlock and collect that means this game has many hours of game play.
Character customizing: This might be just me, but I love it when you can really customize your character (hair, eyes, skin, ect.) and this game also has lots of outfits you can unlock and change into whenever you want.
Lots of places to go: Many, many places to explore and they're all themed differently so no two are the same.
Building: This is not very technical, basically just building with large blocks, but it's very fun and you can pretty much change anything in the world that you want (you can just go up to someone's house and completely rebuild it!). And also all the interior decorating is super fun...
Bonus island: When you unlock all of the necessary `king points' you get your own special island and a ton of new building supplies so you can build whatever you want!
Unlimited game play: Even after you visit all the islands, you can still go back and help the characters and there are still lots of scrolls and items to collect...I've been playing this game for a while now and I don't think it ever ends...
Cons:
The garbled voices (think Animal Crossing): Personally this doesn't bother me, but my parents think it's weird.
Slightly tricky building controls: Sometimes when you try to build the piece you're holding starts flipping around and attaching itself to things you don't want it to. This is especially a problem when you're building with pipes, but you can fix it by changing your camera view.
Overall this is a super fun game with lots of opportunities for the player to be creative. The game play itself might be a bit tricky for a younger player, but other then that it's a great game. Also, the credits apear when you get your own island, but don't worry, the game isn't over. Though, the credits are really cute (all the characters dance) and it's fun to whatch.
Very Fun December 27, 2009

My Sims Kingdom may be geared more for the younger set but this middle aged woman has an absolute blast playing this game. You start out rounding up pigs and end up being the Wandolier of the kingdom. You run around the world with your pals and rebuild all that has been broken and run down so that the people become happy again. There is no fighting monsters for a change (you do catch fish for your scrolls, though). And you solve mysteries, like who is stealing stuff on Cowboy Junction. Good, clean game, fun to play and watch. My eight-year old thinks it is super, super, awesome fun. Let's go with that.

My 12 year old daughter loves this game. I insisted she get it because of the Sim brand and I remembered the endless hours I invested into SimCity and SimCity 2000 as a kid. It turns out this is nothing like the two Sim games I remember, though that may be a good thing. She has about 10 hours on MySims Kingdom so far and enjoys it as much as any game I've ever seen her play.
I invited her to offer a rating, and she gave it 5 stars.
