![]() ![]() Once the player arrives on a given island, certain NPCs will have problems that only the Wandolier can solve. While one island might be bright and cheery,Īnother like Spookane might be dark and foreboding. ![]() Now, of course, if you're one of the few who can't go back to playing PS2-quality presentation after playing your big-budget blockbuster on your HD consoles, then you probably won't like the look of the game unfortunately. There's really nothing that comes off as an eye-sore or repulsive to the eyes. The character models have a wide range of animations and facial expressions giving them even more variety than ever before. No longer is there framerate issues, graphical slow-down, or long and numerous load times to contend with. Those who played the original MySims will be happy to know that the technical problems that plagued the first MySims have been fixed in Kingdom. "The F stands for ROCKETS!" F, a trigger happy scientist ready to blow up whoever and whatever. Then you have an entire cast of clever and comical characters such as my personal favorite, Dr. His childlike naivete is beyond hilarious. Lyndsay is an adventurous explorer type, a more serious character- at least compared to Buddy who is pure comic relief. Lyndsay and Buddy are your helpers and close friends throughout the game. Seldom was there a scene or conversation that I didn't chuckle or at the very least crack a smile. While the aesthetic of MySims Kingdom is decidedly geared towards the younger mindset, the dialogue and cast of characters are endearing, charming, and humorous enough for the older crowd as well. Besting a seafaring captain and a selfish and conceited princess, Roland's daughter, the player's Sim gets the honor of being the kingdom's Wandolier! Charged with the responsibility to fix the problems of the numerous isles of the kingdom, the three friends head out on a tiny boat, setting sail for adventure. Thus, King Roland announces a contest to crown a brand new Wandolier, a Sim who is bestowed a magical wand able to build and create- and all without those nasty zoning laws, too! Depending on the character the player chooses, a young boy or girl (I'll be going by boy for my own case), a farmhand for an overly bossy middle-aged woman, gets persuaded by his friends, Lyndsay and Buddy, to enter the contest. Recently, however, most of the kingdom has fallen into disrepair, and a savior is needed to make right all that is currently wrong. For years his majesty's kingdom flourished, and all of his subjects lived in pure bliss. Once upon a time there was beautiful kingdom- a flurry of differently themed islands- all ruled by the cupcake-chomping King Roland. ![]() Is MySims Kingdom one that you'll want to crusade for? This time we have MySims Kingdom, and while the original MySims was all about helping to build your own mini metropolis, Kingdom involves much more loftier goals such as saving a kingdom. The sales and success obviously were well enough for EA to decide to green-light another MySims for Wii. No, no! Don't leave! I'm not insinuating the "kiddie" or childish stereotype, I'm referring to the abundantly charming one which the original MySims possessed. While a lot of the world is in love with the ever-expanding traditional Sims franchise, Electronic Arts opted to create a new take on an old favorite for Nintendo audiences. ![]()
