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!

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.

This game is TONS of fun. I am recommending it to everyone I know who has a DS. But do not buy it if you think it is like the Sims for computer. If I had to compare it to a game...I would have to say Animal Crossing Wild World. Of course the two have differences but they are pretty alike. One of the greatest things is you aren't just stuck in your house like normal sims games, you get to explore around the town....and help a boring village, become a tourist paradise! :]
I have played it for 5 hours straight already and I didn't get bored once.
If you are into the fighting games....I do not recommend this game for you.

This game is so good!!! I got it on Christmas along with my Nintendo DS and I can't put it down! I have bought the new house from Elizabeth and still have about 8000 Simoleons. But this game is NOT like The Sims 2 for PC. Even though I LOVE The Sims 2, MySims is SOOOO much better!!!!

at first in this game you really can't do what you want.As you gain stars you get more freedom and unlock a lot of things.The further in the game the more fun it gets.The graphics aren't bad and actually really good.BUT IF YOU ARE THINKING OF THE WHOLE FAMILY AND CONTROLING THEM THIS IS NOT THE KIND OF SIMS LIKE FOR YOUR COMPUTER but a great game.

Please trust me it STINKS! SO REPETITIVE

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This game looked like a lot of fun. I looked at the reviews which were all this game rocks. So i went out and bought it thinking i would love it. I bought it yesterday and im ready to buy a new game and return it right now. It was fun for the first five minutes where you find out what you can do and you meet everyone. Then the same thing happens every five minutes you wake up, go to town, have to covince like 5 tourists to like the town, visit every one who lives in town and hear them complain about how they dont have any customers for there shops. If you cant convince the tourists then you have to wait till another time (there are 4 times like morning, afternoon, something else, and evening) so you have to wait for the time to change then go back to them. Once it is night you have to go to your house and sleep to make the morning come because when its night time you cant do anything the shops are closed. It takes a while to unlock things and you cant do much with the stuff on the game, you can walk, sit in a chair, and turn the radio on out of the things you own and in everything on the game. I dont like this game very much,its ok overall but dont buy it, a lot of the people in the town when you talk to them say the same thing over and over again so you have to visit each person till you can find someone to tell you to do something or you just sit there and are SO BORED! It is very boring and repetitive do not buy it please or be ready to return it. Just dont buy it unless you want to take a risk because it isnt like any sims game and its so boring and repetitve sorry i said that like 10 times but it really is!!!!

This game kept me busy the whole Christmas day! My dad told me repeatedly to turn it off but it is so addicting! It is nothing like the Sims 2 for the computer. The characters are so cute and the outfits are great. I have already played 5 weeks of my game and I only had it for 1 day!! I recomend it to anyone who owns a Nintendo DS because it never gets boring, even if you play it for 12 hours straight!

don't buy this game if you are getting it because you like the original pc game, Sims. It is absolutely nothing like the original. It is basically one very lame storyline that you have to very slowly work your way towards figuring out by earning money through stupid minigames that are a lot like the minigames you get free in a lot of other games like super mario brothers and nintendo 64 for ds. i wish they would make a sims game for the ds that was closer to the original.

It's so interesting like if played a million times.I recommend people to get it because you create your character, and you decide who moves in and where. It's your town and you design it. :)

I started playing and really thought that this looked like a little kids game...I'm 30. But I am having SO much fun with this game. It is like Animal Crossing in a way, but there's much more to it. You can unlock parts to the town and earn new people in the town.

I really like this game, because it has so many things to do and also the graphics are GREAT! You can walk around and buy clothes, furniture, flowers, and even cake! My experience with it is fun, and it keeps you from leaving it.
I reccomend this game to anyone from ages 7-14 maybe?
