Kotaku writes: "MySims Agents marks a shift in the MySims series away from free-roaming Sim with adventure game elements to actual adventure game with Sim flavorings.
The MySims series started out as a cutesy, cartoony version of the Sims series for PC and Wii that would let a younger generation of gamer take a crack at the building and customization of the Sims without asking them to navigate sexual relationships and simulated job grinds. From there, the series experimented with a more structured kind of game – like MySims Racing or MySims Kingdom – that had elements of other game genres around to direct gameplay objectives. However, it was still mostly a free-roaming game without much direction."
PBG says some things, and then MySims Agents happens.
Gamertell has posted a positive review of EA's MySims Agents for Wii.
From the review:
"While both prior MySims games were straightforward simulation and adventure games, where you'd need to create building and furniture on request, MySims Agents breaks away from the simulation elements and is strictly an adventure game. After playing, I'm pleasantly surprised and would consider MySims Agents my favorite entry in the series."
About writes: "Kid's games. For me, the phrase brings to mind tedious exercises in bland, cloying dialogue, nonsensical stories and dumbed-down, poorly implemented gameplay; games no one over ten could enjoy. But sometimes, just sometimes, a game aimed at children is just plain fun. Such is the case with MySims Agents."
