I myself am a fan of The Sims series. The ability to make the life you wish you had was the best idea EA could possibly have. However, they tried making it more kid-friendly by putting the characters as cute anime-esque characters in MySims and MySims Kingdom. Its simplicity was its downfall.
In both games, you played the hero (naturally) who had to help different types of people. And by "different", I mean classified by six different personality types and looks. Both games had you do what any K-3 teacher tells you to do, "be creative". The games required you to build random objects for people again, again and again. The real Sims didn't do that to us. The real Sims let us choose our virtual destiny, outside of being just a carpenter.
Its redeeming qualities were its great diversity of the people you could actually invite to your town in the first game, and the dozen different places you could go to in the second game. But it still wasn't enough to save it.
Overall, if you were a fan of The original Sims, don't buy these games. Odds are that if you did like The Sims, you won't like this dumbed down version, where there is an ending, but they still expect you to keep playing. However, if you are a person who enjoys showing their creative side when creating furniture and buildings, then I still wouldn't recommend this, because they expect you to be kind of specific when building anything.
Final Rating: 23%
Also, avoid any of the other MySims Games, like MySims Racing or MySims Party.
