Ok, so I have to admit that this is not a typical game that I would play. I know the Sims universe is tremendously huge and successful, but the idea of micro-managing imaginary people and animals just doesn’t seem like the idea of a good time to me.

But regardless, I fired up the Wii and went through the initial mandatory tutorial to get yourself accustomed to how the game is played. After about 2 minutes, you just “get it” and essentially, you just need to point and click on everything. Seemed like playing any game you find on Facebook.

Not getting too deep into the storyline, to me it’s like a civilized version of Warcraft. You need to mine resources to build stuff. The major differences are that you aren’t going to attack anyone, and instead you just build stuff for seemingly every person in the world.

So, I can see where people could enjoy the casual, go-at-your-own-pace of the game and be satisfied with it. For me personally, I’d rather be doing something else.

Overall: 7/10
