Editorial Reviews:
MySims introduces a charming cast of whimsical characters while delivering the creativity, customization and classic open-ended gameplay that has enchanted Sims players worldwide.
The Sims 2: Pets has already appeared on the Wii, but it was just a simple port of the PlayStation 2 version with little real use made of the Wii remote. This though is a complete reimagining of the whole The Sims concept made exclusively for Nintendo?s consoles. The concept is largely the same as always as you take control of the lives of your own fictional family in what?s a cross between a video game and an interactive version of Big Brother. The graphics have been completely revamped, moving away from the pseudo realism of the older games and using a much cuter, cartoon style that?s somewhere between Playmobil and Animal Crossing (they?re actually modelled after a Japanese toy line called Pinky Street).
Naturally the game makes full use of the Wii?s controls with the remote used to pick up, rotate and drop objects and buildings with refreshing ease, while the nunchuck is used simply to move around. This is all in the aid of making the game as customisable as possible, from the characters themselves to their homes and furniture. Previously The Sims games let you build your own house or swimming pool but here you can design your own fridge if you want or bed, sofa or any other item of furniture. This feeds into the concept of having to do up your house and turn your virtual ghost town into a thriving village full of oddball characters. With Animal Crossing still some way off this could be the next big casual game on the Wii.

Very easy game to play. The characters are cartoon type. Takes a while to load between each level. When you have completed the game, the next time is can be different if you move in different characters. I completed in 48 hours and sold it on. It is the least interesting Sims game i have played to date
| Better Than The DS Version |  |
I thought it was addictive on the DS but its 10 times more addictive on the Wii, so much to do and you get to build stuff and really make the town come back to life with new charectors in the hotel everyday.
The only problem was that it ended. Cant they create a never ending My Sims?
Highly recommended for all Sims fans at all ages :)

GRAPHICS-7/10
Good graphics although it is a cartoon game they could be better.
STORYLINE-3/10
Absolote rubbish and extreamly tidious. All you do is go around collect "essences" and build houses for people.
CONTROLS-6/10
Quite good controls could be better. You use the Nunchuck to move around and can be rather difficult and jerky.
GAME OVERALL-4/10
Not the best game I ever played you can get very board and I do not recommend it for young children as they MAY give up straigt away.

If you are new to the Sims this is a great place to start as you don't have make sure your sim sleeps, eats or goes to the toilet regular. You soon get used to running around like a headless chicken to collect essences, build and decorate homes as each sim you invite to live likes.
The loading time for this game is so bad though you can go and make a drink and come back just in time for the scene to have loaded! Is it any wonder you are given tips on playing the game whilst it is loaded. The other bad thing about this game is when you have completed it that's it, you just carry on to your hearts content with no more things for you to have to do and it doesn't take a great deal of time to do it either.
If you are introducing a child or are a newby player to the Sims this is the perfect way to start, otherwise if you know someone who has already got it, borrow it or rent it from somewhere.
