GameStop – MySims Wii Bundle (MySims & MySims Racing) coming in November
Jun 28th
I’m fine with bundles, 2 games for a low price is great for those that may of missed out on playing them the first go-around. The problem is the so called ‘great price’ which for this bundle, isn’t all that great. GameStop put up a new product page for a MySims Wii Bundle that includes both the original MySims game and MySims Racing. Their price point at this time? $50. I can get both of these – on Ebay – for about $30 with a little time spent searching. Here’s the product information below. Credit goes to InfiniteSims for the find.

SimOperations – MySims Racing review for Nintendo Wii
Sep 14th
I can’t go into much detail with the creative options and story mode as I don’t play a lot with them features. I like to get straight into the racing! Story mode introduces you slowly into the game, as it unlocks the tracks and championships over time. Each character has a small “challenge” for you to complete, for example, collect some pizzas around a track. There is a small or significant reward for your completion. As you keep moving around the town, some sims may require your help around. This is a review, right? So, I must comment on this feature. Story mode is a great introduction into the game, as you start from easier challenges to harder ones. A first time player may see this as essential to learn the controls and practice. MySims Racing is effectively a kid-friendly version of The Sims. It’s much simpler in storyline and controls. And it is, but the difference is, the core element of The Sims is removed: virtual life. MySims is a much more unrealistic experience with cartoonish characters. I must agree with IGN’s review of the game, in that, MySims is a more of a spin-off.
It’s not too late to pick up a copy of MySims Racing if you haven’t already. However, make a note that when MySims Agents comes out, it may get a price drop. Finish reading the rest of the review over at SimOperations!
