 Take the good with the bad Mar 21, 2009
By P. Sumida
"sumtchr"
I have a daughter who's 7 and a son who's 5, and we love video games. We are big fans of Mario Party 8, which made us interested in this game. Here are the pros and cons:
Pros: like the festivals (set of mini-games with little "surprise games" mixed in) because they make a game shorter than a game of Mario Party, games are good and simple to learn but difficult to master, no "practice" mode for a mini-game (my son will double the length of a game of MP8 if we don't limit practices), kids like the MySims "village" where the festivals take place, like the different qualities of each player (stamina, health, luck, and something else) that change throughout the game.
Cons: Wii selection controls are annoying and make too much noise, the Sims you can choose from are pretty limited, making more Sims for your game is difficult. The minigame play is solid, but the controls between games and selecting options/players are just aggravating.
We like the game but don't love it. It is a little cutesy, which my kids can take or leave, but you can deal with it. Definitely rent before you buy this one.

 Fun for kids Mar 17, 2009
By T. Chin
I bought this as a present for my 8 year old niece and she loves it! She thinks the mysims characters are adorable, and seems to really enjoy the game selection. Probably not for older kids or adults, but lots of fun for the younger game players in the house.

 Party Bummer Mar 14, 2009
By J. Williams
Uninspired game play, poor controls and unimaginative mini-games about sums up this title. If you've played any of the other party games out there then My Sims Party will seem basic at best. My 5 and 7 year old boys played this game for 10 minutes before turning it off. The controls feel as if your playing in mud, controller input is often missed, making some of the mini-games an exercise in frustration. Graphics are a step down from the other Wii Sims games, not that they were great to begin with.

Not so fun for adults Jan 31, 2010
By J. Chan
If you have small kids and like to game with them, MySims Party is definitely at least worth a try, since the games are cute and accessible, even on first play. There is a very low threshold for "mastering" any of the minigames, and many of them come down to how fast you can wildly wave around the Wiimotes (and how much endurance you have to do it!). For multiplayer, basically the younger the players, the more fun it'll be. I tried it with 3 adults, and it was pretty boring, but watching a bunch of little kids play was a hoot. One weird aspect of the game is that it is decidedly very Japanese in theme, and unabashedly so. There's sushi sorting, fish chopping, etc, which will come across as a bit oddball to anyone without a lot of exposure to Japanese culture, but that might be a plus to some people.
The typical Sims stats don't really play into the multiplayer as far as I could tell, but they have some marginal effect in the singleplayer. I did not personally go through much of the single player campaign, but my sister, upon playing it for a short time, immediately requested a copy of this for Christmas. So we returned our rental and purchased this for her. She has mostly beaten the campaign in the month she's had it.
Overall, adding depth to this game would have gone a long way into making it accessible for full families, but as it stands it CAN entertain smaller children. Your best bet is to rent before you buy. Had we purchased it for ourselves first, it would have gone into the unplayed-game-pile-of-doom long ago.

Poor choice - move on to another game. Oct 31, 2009
By K. Kostka
"rocket mom"
My kids, 9 and 7, didn't find much to interest them here. The screens require LOTS of reading which is hard for early readers, and the controls are terrible. Controls make annoying games, and require many clicks to work. The directions are also poorly translated into English, leading to frustration. The directions for the mini-games are poorly written, and combined with the terrible controls, kids find that they are unable to complete the games and enjoy them. Don't waste your money on this one. (We are new to Wii and gaming, but everybody in the family enjoys World of Goo which is nice because it's a download and not a disk.)
