My Sims DS Review

By doopliss' twin

 
Okay, this is my first Review, and I'm going to make it simple. 1-10 rating, a sub-review under the categories; Story, Graphics, Music, Originality, Difficulty, Charachters, Controls, Replay Value, Fun Factor, and Overall. NOTE: This is not MySims for the Wii. The Wii version
is far superior.

Story: 4/10
A Sims with a twist. You move to a desolate resort town, and start to turn it into a tourist gettaway. (Reminds you of Animal Crossing, don't it?) So you meet the mayor, then you build up the star meter or whatever that thing is called. Every time you fill up the meter the town's rating goes up; the higher the rating, the more facilities and stores open up.

Graphics: 6.5/10
The most you can expect from a DS game, but some of the characters could have been animated better. The graphics are decent, but the sports and minigames could have had a much better style to them.

Music: 8/10
The music was the only really good part about this game. The only thing that prevented this from getiing a ten is that after a while you'll want to rip your ears off. The characters' mood is determined by the music around them, which kept the score up.

Originality: 7/10
Basically a ripoff of Animal Crossing, but has some original elements to it. There are a few types of areas in the town: the mountains, port,
town, highlands, forest, entertainment island, and your house, of course.

Difficulty: 3/10
The only difficulty comes from the sports. Some are easy to master, like racquetball, but others need time and patience, like scuba diving.

Characters: ???
I really don't know what to give this. I don't know whether to say only the named characters are true characters, which would have given this game a 7/10, or whether all the tourists should be included with the named ones, which would have given this a 10/10.

Controls: 6/10
Most of the sport controls are on luck, like paragliding with the appearing birds, raquetball with the random animals and bombs, and fishing (you'll see what i mean). Running is slow, walking is a snail's pace, and the stylus... Well, that's decent.

Replay Value: 3/10
Unlike The Real Sims, everything is set around a specific goal or goals. You don't have a choice in everything, only at certain times, such as fishing, lei making, certain sports, and dowsing (after you finish the first one).

Fun Factor!: 7/10
It was fun for the first few days, but after that it got very repetitive. You'll only play if bored.

Overall: 6.5/10
I've got nothing to say here, other than the recommendations. It's okay. If you want the game or are a fan of Animal Crossing, go ahead and buy it. But be warned, you might not want to spend 35 bucks for something like this.
