5.0 out of 5 stars Very cute game - fun for kids, February 28, 2009

This review is from: MySims (DVD-ROM)

I bought this game for myself originally, but it was not long before my oldest child was asking me to buy a copy for the kids' computer. This is the fist non-educational game I have bought for my kids and they really like it. They "won" the game after about 1 month, but it is made to where you can just keep playing after achieving the main goal.

We can visit each other in our 'gardens' and it is still safe in a way that no one else can visit with my kids. It is a super cute and clean game and has actually taught my oldest how to read/spell a few words.

I especially like the workshop tasks, they are fun to do even for adults and I think teaches good skills to kids. The workshop was a little too hard at first, but you know how kids are - it was no time before they were making elaborate stuff for the townspeople.

You can change the appearance and voice of your character at any time in the game and the kids like that a lot. I think it is novel, but only interesting the first couple times.

I enjoyed playing the game, but got bored with it after a couple weeks. My kids are still going strong, playing as often as I will let them. If it were just me, I might give it only 3 or 4 stars, but accounting for my kids and how much they love it, I am giving it 5.

1.0 out of 5 stars EA's Copy Protections Hurts Legitimate Users, May 2, 2010

This review is from: MySims (DVD-ROM)

I purchased MySims on Amazon for my son to use on his netbook computer. After several months, I have not been able to successfully install the game onto his computer due to the SecureROM copy protection 'feature'. I have contacted EA customer support. They started with a cut-and-paste response that didn't answer my question and then summarily closed my ticket without answering my question. The sad thing is that these schemes don't really stop pirates--it just angers legitimate users who pay for their programs. I don't plan on purchasing another EA title.
