Not So Great

MySims is an okay game. It is better for 6-8 year olds rather than older kids. Your character in the game is some-what customizable but I would rather have more choices for clothes and hair. The other characters in the game are mostly pretty good but in the beginning the characters seem almost depressing. Earning money is extremely too easy. Making people happy is easy, too. It's an all-around easy game except for some of the mini-games. And because it is easy to play it quickly gets finished and its nearly impossible for me to get myself to play it a second time.

Animal Crossing Clone

My dad got this for me 1 week before it was released, and I really don't like it as much as I thought I would.
its just like Animal Crossing, except with people.
you cannot have relationships like boyfriend/girlfriend like other sims, i think the most you can do is give things to others and hope tehy like it, and you build your town. i was bored with it within 2 days.
If you like animal crossing, you'll like this, a little.
I love animal crossing, but this is like the exact same thing, so I didn't like it as much.
i think you should buy it, its easier on the ds than the wii, i also got it for that, and its hard for me to keep everything steady. my friends online say they like it, but they say its a animal crossing like thing, just like me.
it doesnt have wifi either, so thats another downside, if i didnt get it free, i dont think i would of bought it, not until it came with wifi atleast.
oh and if you love sims, you may like this. just remember, its like animal crossing + sims combined, NO RELATIONSHIPS, MINI PEOPLE.

A very addicting game

I LOVE this game. It has a lot of fun mini-games, like scuba-diving, making leis, paragliding and more. I've finished it twice, and I've started again, because once you finish the game, there isn't a whole lot to do. But I still play it even though I've finished, to try and make a lot of money. All in all, it is a very fun and addicting game.
WARNING: I noticed in the description that it says you can build things, and I'd like to make it clear that you can't, at least not in the DS version.

ok this game is very fun on ce you get into it. at first its really boring but when you get farther into it then you get more challenges and more stuff. ummm well and the torist are very annoying which is bad. like i could care less that you broke your sun glasses or lost your perfume or maybe got bit by a bug!!! D: so a goodd thing is that every time you make a tourist happy you get money. most things are pretty cheep. you ern more things when you get into the game and its very fun! i love it!:D the only thing is its kinda like a little bit more modern version of animal crossing a little different though. but overall this is a great game and you should get it!! :D :) :] =]]] <333

Best DS Game Yet!!!

I really love the Sims games, especially the PC and DS, this new game is very additive since I started I can't stop each new mini-game keeps getting better I'm hooked, I'm already on 4-stars and I don't want it to end, I did have some trouble in the begging because there alot of different mini-games, fishing, paragliding, etc. and I wasnt sure which would help me advance, but try them all and you will see. Its a great game to sit back and relax.

the best thing about this product is that you dont know whats going to happen! in one day on the game you could be in the next level and each level is different. you can travel places and its veryy very fun. you can travel by boat,tolley,plane,and probably more. there are also fun mini games like paragliding and scuba diving. the only thing is its kind of like another game called animal crossing but it has people and its a little bit more fun then animal crossing. but u cant eat on this game and the days do go by a little to fast. :[ anyway this game is so fun and u would love it if u really like animal crossing or you like to build towns,design your house,person and more and you can also play fun minii games. you will love this ganme so much so buy it i recomend it!

Addicting!

This game is really addicting!!! I would recommend it, but I guess it depends on the type of game you enjoy playing. I personally think it is way better than the DS Sims 2! Some people find this game kinda repetitive but again, all the Sims games are! So if you don't like those type of games, then this is not for you. Otherwise, it's a good game averall.
