MySims Kingdom Review

Ever since I got the Wii, one of my big problems has been trying to find games that are both appropriate & easy for my niece to play. Either the games just aren't age appropriate or they're just a little too difficult for her to play & she gets frustrated. She loves sim games like Animal Crossing, but she is always wanting something new to play once the older games lose their appeal for her.

MySims Kingdom is a nice combination of the two- the controls are incredibly easy for her to use, plus there's no objectionable material in the game for her mom to get angry over. The basic goal of the game is to help King Roland rebuild his kingdom & that's a pretty easy task to accomplish.

While it is easy for my niece to play, it isn't a game that she is beating quickly & it has proven to be one of the better games that I've bought recently for her. She loved being able to pick out the various characteristics for her sim character & she enjoys reading the various messages that pop up. (She's learning to read, so she enjoys reading things out loud to everyone to show her skill.)

I like this game as well, although it will probably never replace the original sims games for me. Since most of the MySims games I've seen look like they're geared more towards younger audiences, I take the easiness of the games (for me) in stride.

You really can't beat the price on this or how family friendly it is!!
