"No , its not Yoursims , its Mysims !"

The original Sims games are all about simulating real life. One of the main aspects of these games is the needs meters. Like the bathroom, hunger, and fun needs. Well, this game put a whole new definition under the "Sims" category in the dictionary ...building. This game is all about building what you want, when you want, when ever you want!

Game Play: 10/10 As I stated before, this game is all about building. One day you move into an old rundown town and there you find out you are a creator. Meaning you can create stuff with essences. You then go on to bring the town back to its old 5 star rating. Building is the main aspect of this game, you build your house, your furniture, and you paint everything. Then you go on to other peoples house, making them to suit the kind of personality that person has. Also, you can fish, plant trees and lots of other stuff to collect "essences" which can be used when building. All in all the building in this game is very good!

Sound : 8/10 Nothing special here , when you create a character you can change the sound of their voice which is a pretty cool feature , but other than that nothing really stands out in the musical aspect of the game.

Graphics: 9/10 Now, this part of the review could change depending on the person. Myself, I like the new "chibi" style graphics of this game. I think they really do the game justice. I feel it adds a new style to the Sims games and kind of spices it up. Other people may not like it, but I feel it's very nice and much needed change.

Replay value: 9/10 this game has pretty good replay value because you can always go back and make more random stuff! Design new houses, make new friends, plant more trees, there a lot to do and although I just got this game recently, I feel it will keep me entertained for a while. And I bet you will feel the same way.

So all in all this game is very nice .I would definitely buy this game. With lots to do and a totally new fresh Sims game ... what more could you ask for? I am having great fun with this game and I'm sure you will have fun too! I give this game an 8.5 out of 10, but since there are no decimals on GameFaqs , I give it a 9/10 .
