The MySims Racing Reviews Arrive

It's been a chaotic week over here at SN HQ. As soon as I got home from vacation my computer died, so i haven't had much of a chance to update. So, while i was on vacation 3 reviews for MySims Racing popped up on the web.

Review from "NGamerUK"

By no means bad, but less than we'd expect from the MySims 'franchise'. Limps home a distant second place to the real thing.

Score: 6.9/10

Review from "Multiplayer.it"

The inevitable comparison between Mario Kart and MySims Racing is unfair at best: even if the game is kinda fun to play, EA's title can't be nearly as good as Nintendo's milestone. If you can get over it, you'll find yourself with a nice but unpolished racing game.

Score: 6.7. Read Full Review

Review from "Gameplayer Sweeden"

The Sims Racing passes the theory test, but fail the driving test instead. There's really no point in playing this when there are games like Mario Kart around.

Score: 4/10. Read Full Review

1up Reviews MySims Kingdom

MySims kingdom has been out quite a while now, but the reviews are still trickling in.  1up just posted their review giving it a poor "C-" grade, which i think improperly translates on metacritic as a 42/100.  Obviously the games Metacritic score took a massive hit lowering it about 5 points down to a 76/100.  With that said here is a quote from the review;

"Kingdom's elementary building blocks result in a decent kids' game that serves as a gentle introduction to the toolbox genre...at best. I'd love to see what a more cerebral MySims game would look like, but given the Wii's target audience, I'll just have to serve my king's leisure."

Gamespot Reviews MySims Kingdom

Today gamespot published their review for MySims gingdom giving it a 7.5 or "Good" rating.  Siting that the game is fun to play with families, and its cutesy art style.

"Finishing the main story should take about eight hours, though that could be doubled if you feel like hunting down every object and completing optional tasks. Despite the occasional camera or control snag, MySims Kingdom is a lot of fun and recommended for those new to The Sims or for anyone looking for a lighthearted, laid-back adventure."

New MySims Kingdom Reviews

2 New reviews popped up on the radar today for MySims Kingdom.  First Cheat Code Central game MySims kingdom a 4.2/5 (8.4/10) summing up the review with

"Overall, I really loved MySims Kingdom. There was plenty here to explore and build, and while the story might have been on the forgettable side, I really enjoyed the focused Sim-style gameplay. This title brings together the creative energy of The Sims franchise and channels it into a cute little construction-based title that ends up being anything but. MySims is a big adventure in a small package, and if you are a fan of the Sims, or any other casual title, you owe it to yourself to check this one out"

Thats not a bad score for the game, better then what the first MySims got.  The second review comes from the Official Nintendo UK Magazine giving it an 8.5/10.  They had the folowwing to say

"Like a lot of games these days, MySims Kingdom is all about the experience and it takes you on a charming journey where you get to meet and greet some brilliant characters. Yet, as an adventure, MySims is now in the company of the best that Wii has to offer and it just can't live with the likes of Galaxy and Twilight Princess. Still, provided you have some heart, this Kingdom packs more than enough personality to make it well worth a visit."
