As a little kid
you play many games. You probably played cops and robbers, cowboys and indians,
and oh yeah, secret agents. If you are feeling reminiscent or you are just a
first timer playing secret agents, now you can play it on the Wii in MySims
Agents.
MySims Agents
starts the player out as a kid just trying to solve some very small mysteries in
his neighborhood. He works out of a pizza shop, and just does the job for fun
until he solves a mystery that goes against a mysterious evil laughing man named
Morcubus. The game’s plot after that has your agent solving mysteries that
eventually leads to a huge plot involving the evil Morcubus.
You start the
game with some Sims gameplay. You can dress your agent the way you want to. You
can change his clothes, hair, shoes, etc.. As you progress throughout the game,
finishing missions will unlock even more clothes and options to have your sim
really styling. Once your character is created, the fun begins. You will go
around the neighborhood "pointing and clicking" at all kinds of things to find
clues, gather evidence, and catch the bad guys.
MySims Agents
will be liked by the younger Wii audience. It is a point-and-click game that
will get younger players involved and enjoying the gameplay. The title also did
a good job of bringing some humor into the dialogue, so it never gets too
serious of a game for the younger generation. There are also other small things
that will keep the younger players involved in the game even if they aren’t
playing through the story. There are many items and people to interact with
throughout your neighborhood to keep the kids laughing and having fun.
As for the good
and bad of MySims, there weren’t many bad aspects surprisingly. The gameplay has
a steady pacing to it and will not leave you or your kids bored at all. The
controls work extremely well with the point-and-click method that the developers
incorporated with the game. The bad aspects of MySims were very minute, but it
wasn’t a perfect game. Sometimes the hints were not always clear if you were
confused on what to do, and a lot of the times the missions were extremely
simple.
Overall, MySims
Agents is a good kid’s game for the Nintendo Wii. It has everything you want.
Nice cartoony graphics, funny dialogue, and an interesting plot will have you
wanting more MySims games in the future.
