MySims Kingdom doesn't do anything objectionably wrong, but neither does it provide a new hook compelling enough to justify a $30 purchase. Even the most ardent MySims fan would be better served to skip this game in favor of the fun Wii version, which at least feels like a sequel.
On the Nintendo DS, this kingdom is just a bit too familiar.

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?"
