MySims preview for Nintendo DS

Another addition to the Sims stable joins the party later this month as MySims comes to the Nintendo DS. This version is quite different to the Sims we are used to, with a new look to the avatars and a mission-based gameplay which sees you completing tasks in a series of mini-games. Fans of Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing will find plenty to love here - but how will MySims play with Sims aficionados and hardcore gamers? Find out more in our MySims preview for Nintendo DS!

MySims preview for Nintendo DS
MySims is the latest variation on the well-worn Sims theme, but it's quite different from the original concept. For starters, while it embraces the extensive customisation that defined the first game, it's much more mission-based, and its looks are more akin to Animal Crossing with a hint of the Mii avatars from Nintendo's Wii.

While the DS version is inevitably streamlined from the content-rich Wii game, there's still plenty to do. The main goal of the game is to transform a rather run-down resort village into a beautiful utopia – attracting additional visitors to said hamlet to interact and play with. In that respect, it's similar to the later stages of several Harvest Moon games, but without that initial hard slog to get through before new characters arrive. That's not to say that things will be plain sailing though – you'll be tasked with a number of missions on your quest, from nurturing the resident wildlife to creating new buildings.
