WorthPlaying:
The first thing to be aware of is that MySims isn't a direct competitor. It's been squarely aimed at the children's market, in much the same way as Animal Crossing, but without any of the subtleties, depth or surprises that made a man of my age addicted to the latter for a while. It's bright and colorful, and a perfect Sims "lite," if you think that The Sims could be a little too complicated for your little one or if you're the type of prude who doesn't want your tykes seeing heavily pixelated nudity. A typical stint on The Sims could contain more over-the-top drama than a soap opera, but MySims avoids that entirely, which should already put off a fair number of those who got to this stage of the review.
