A great improvement over MySims
I'm the mom in this gamer family and I enjoyed playing the original MySims game, although I never finished it. My children are 10 and 12.

This release is a vast improvement over the previous game, with no long pauses between actions. You move seamlessly in and out of build mode. The storyline is pretty linear at first. You have few choices in your actions until you have completed about 2 hours of play. Once you level up, new islands and options open up for you. At the next level up, new tasks are available at islands you visited previously.

The islands you rebuild are visually appealing, populated with funny characters, and hold progressively more difficult puzzle challenges.

There is quite a bit of reading involved, which would make me warn parents away from buying this for very young children. My kids crack up at the jokes, and there is a lot of humor throughout, which I think will appeal to many adults too.

The game is rewarding in points and level ups, and also provides additional costumes and clothing as rewards, which is greatly appealing to my daughter. You also have the option of trading in unneeded extra essences for "mana," the form of currency required to build objects.

As in the first game, you can do unlikely tasks like plant a tree full of rockets or fish for mythical creatures. There are rare hidden objects that assist you with long-term mini-quests. You can pick up a pick axe and go mining, and like the first game, you can use a metal detector. Now you can use it anywhere in the game however, which is more convenient and fun.

My only criticism of the game would be the very linear story line in the beginning, but once past that point, it becomes very very rewarding and addictive, with lots of free choice to wander all over the map and do whatever you want the character to do.

Worth the money. An excellent, nonviolent, creative adventure game.

Faster, less tedious than the first MySims
The most noticeable change is that Kingdom saves much faster than the first MySims game. There is no moving in/out of Sims. The game starts with all the Sims in place, it is the player's task to find them and help them renovate and decorate. The exterior building feature is much the same, but furniture building tasks are gone. Essences are easier find and tally up quickly. Sometimes it felt like Kingdom is actually a prequel to MySims. The graphics and tasks are more simplistic. This game will be easier for kids because the game tells you what you need to meet the task requirements. We are 45 and 32 and love the MySims games. If you like MySims, PLEASE TRY THE ANIMAL CROSSING GAMES, TOO.

Great step up from MySims!
If you liked MySims your gonna love this one. If you didn't, then you'll like this one much better! The load time is great, on the first MySims that was a huge downfall for me! You don't have to make everything piece by piece unless you really want to, which is great because that got a bit frustrating in the first one. There is a lot to do even after the credits run there are MANY more things to find and unlock. It is definatly worth it!
