Product Description
MySims Kingdom sets you on a story-telling journey of discovery and exploration to help King Roland and his subjects revitalize the Kingdom.
Amazon.co.uk Review
The Sims returns to the Wii in MySims - Kingdom. Take control of not just your own town but a whole kingdom. King Roland runs a pretty strange realm though, with his medieval castle neighbouring the cowboy-filled Frontier Land, the aptly named Adventure Land, and the Sci-Fi style Tomorrow Land.
 King Roland’s kingdom has some very unusual subjects |  Some of the kingdom’s lands are more high tech than others |  Frontier Land is filled with cowboys and cowgirls |  Pig wrestling is more fun than it sounds | As you visit each of the different worlds you’re able to help out the people you meet with your special construction abilities. Using a magical sceptre you can build and modify buildings however you want, using the Wii remote to pick up parts and change them however you want. You can do the same with furniture and other objects--even your own character! This comes in very handy for everything from rebuilding rocket ships to helping placate angry dragons. Once people get to know you, you can stop by to socialise as you make your own home in the land of your choice. Key Features - Land of opportunity: Visit each of the very different realms and help out King Roland’s subjects in an exciting story of construction and co-operation.
- Join the crowd: Chat with all the game’s peculiar inhabitants, making friends or upsetting people on purpose.
- Edit everything: Design and build your own home with just a few gestures from the Wii remote and help fix up other buildings throughout the kingdom.
- Scavenger hunt: Constructing and changing buildings and furniture requires different essences that you find in each land by chopping down trees or digging up gardens.
- Looking good: The game’s graphics have been completely revamped with interactive loading screens and smooth animation.

 Nice, easy fun. January 9, 2009
I'm about half way through this game now and can't stop playing it! Even though I don't find this game challenging, I've not been bored of it once (I'm 19). The controls are simple, and the characters are all very different and lovable (my favourite has to be Buddy!). You can customise your own character, and as the game progresses, you unlock new outfits etc. You are even able to choose your own voice! With regards to the speech in the game, as was said before, it is standard for all Sims games. I don't feel that it is at all irritating.
If you want a good, simple yet addictive game then this is for you. As I mentioned, I'm 19 and love this game though it is aimed at a much younger audience! Great fun and a nice way to relax and keep you occupied. Would definitely recommend.
 Cute and quirky January 8, 2009
I don't usually write reviews but I felt I had to respond to the people who made comments about the language on the game.
My Sims is related to The Sims games you can get for PC and Mac. It's like The Sims little brother or sister, cute and fun. The language is a generic language that isn't speaking but more sounds, it means it can appeal to all countries without having to have lots of different languages. Personally I don't see the problem with it. Surely it's better to read the writing, it's more stimulating for children rather then having to rely on spoken word.
For anyone doubting the game because of this....don't!!! I've played the first ever Sims games, The Sims 2 on Mac and My Sims on the DS. This Wii game is great, it's enjoyable with lots of great little tasks to do with exceptionally cute graphics and lots of things to find.
What I liked was the ease of use within the game, some puzzles are a challenge but you quickly get the hang of things. I'm 28 so some of the puzzles are going to be more difficult for younger kids, but that will just add to the game play and help them with thinking about problem solving. I liked the fact that all your tasks are in your menu, so if you save and quit when you start up again you can be reminded of what task you need to do. There is also a list of the scrolls you need to complete and the elements needed to complete them. The maps are helpful for seeing where certain characters are on the islands. I did get stuck on a couple of occasions and looked online for help.
I think this is a really quirky little game, and enjoyable for many ages. Great for kids and an easy and enjoyable game for adults who like non-pressure games that are easy on the eye.

I thought this was a very dull game, I was bored very quickly, don't buy it, i kept plaing it in hope that it would eventually get better but it didn't. Only buy this gaame it you like slow moving games with not much action behind them.

Sims Kingdom (wii)
After my son aged 9 wanted this game i shopped around but not once did i get informed about the stupid gibberish supposed language that was on the game. we checked the console settings and game settings thinking we had set one up incorrect, but all correct.It took some time and the Internet to find this information. In all we are not impressed and more important neither is my son.Had this information been available i doubt very much that we would have purchased the game. BE AWARE!
