MySims Party

Our first SIM game - and first review. This game is OK, but the city is boring, You cannot enter buildings (except your house) and it took a bit to figure out how to 'construct'. The SIM uses it's own people that you can dress, but using your own Mii would have been nicer and easier to tell who was playing. We could not tell if the strengths, etc that were earned in the Surprise Events were retained or if they went back to the low levels. ultimately, that part was not good.<br><br>Why a 6? Well, the wiimotes seem to do what you wanted which is more than most of the cheaper party games like Neighborhood 24 or the 30 Game deal. The games were OK, but some were not that exciting. Our younger kids couldn't really figure out how to play; HOWEVER, my 8 year old loved trying to unlock the different areas. Had there been something to do in the city like enter buildings or move stuff around, we may have purchased this just for that reason.<br><br>Some bad things were the LONG waits while the little car drove off or the awards ceremony occurred at the end of each festival. There were a lot of festivals to unlock which was intriguing, but it took forever and a day to unlock some of them. That should go faster - like SIM Animals (which we really like). The awards ceremony were pointless. especially if you were playing 1 person against 3 computers. You had to wait for EVERY team to get eh award - which was nothing. THEN the game told you that you unlocked something - or missed it.<br><br>I was OK not winning and not getting the new building or what ever, but keeping the games locked for so long was irritating and the game didn't auto save! My youngest accidentally turned off the game thinking we were done and we didn't get a chance to save. my oldest worked so hard and got upset so I had to play the dang thing (which was not fun to do because I had to redress, rebuild little monuments and unlock one of the areas to get back to where we started.
