MySims Mini Review

Fifi crawled out of bed bleary eyed at 6.30 a.m. she had to go to work, she couldn't get to sleep the night before, there's something about having to get up early that prevents easy sleep. Still awake in the wee small hours Fifi contemplated getting up and going for her DS, she was building a Sim City, but then again it might be a good opportunity to catch a rare nocturnal Pokemon or that elusive tarantula in Animal Crossing .......... Fifi decided it would be more responsible to really try to get to sleep.

Once up Fifi rushed around getting ready, remembering to slip her Gameboy Micro into her work bag just in case there was any "down time" in this job (Fifi is a temp so her work life is constantly changing).

Fifi was already in a bad mood anyway, her new My Sims Wii game had turned out to be rather frustrating. She was thinking "*!& Polly and her stupid flower shop, eventually realising that her flower stand gift hadn't been accepted yet because it needed to be painted with happy essence. Once Polly had accepted her lovely flower stand there was an opportunity to stare at the "brick wall" loading screen again ........ there are many opportunities to stare at the "brick wall" loading screen, every time you complete a task or enter/exit a building if you are really lucky it will occasionally give you a tip while you wait.

A cross between The Sims and Animal Crossing but doesn't match up to either. Oh you do get to make your own furniture with the Wiimote .......but it becomes annoyingly irksome after your first achievement.

There are other areas to unlock but I don't think I can stand to play it long enough and I'll be trading it in as soon as another game I want comes out.

To make things worse a friend had made a casual mention, something about "wasting money on games", Fifi was getting pumped as a Pikachu, Fifi was steaming, wasn't this the friend who had so much fun trying her Wii Sports, she bit her lip deciding to try to keep the peace but harboured vengeful thoughts of deleting said friend's Mii.
