There are times when games get a ton of hype and fall short of expectation. There are other times when games that don't make large blips on your radar jump up to surprise you. MySims Kingdom falls in the latter category. During their recent trip to EA, Loot Ninja got some hands on time with the sequel to the last year's MySims.
PBG plays MySims Kingdom for some unexplained reason. Is it really as awful as it looks? Well...yes.
Green Pixels: Plunking down $50 for a brand-new game can be a gamble -- it's a lot of money to pay for something that you could end up hating. However, most games don't stay full-price for long, which is why we scoured the inventories of four major retailers (Amazon, GameStop, Target, Walmart) to find a slew of great titles that are now priced at just $20. For the cost of one freshly released game, you can buy two older titles and still have $10 left to spend on snacks. (And we all know the importance of snacks.)
RealGamer writes: "MySims Kingdom for the DS is very similar in principle to its Wii brethren, just scaled down. Instead of a host of different islands to explore and customise you have a single town that has undergone a massive upheaval due to someone stealing all the decorations?"
The first iteration of this game was tooth decayingly cute, but the gameplaya fter a few hours got very tiring. There was not much you could do other than get people to come to your town. THe building mechanics made no sense as the inside and outdside of the buildings were not linked.
