IGN writes: "MySims Agents is definitely my favorite game in the series yet. I prefer the special agent theme. Exploring more inspired locales for evidence, interrogating characters for clues and piecing it all together to solve crimes is good fun. The controls have been tightened up a bit to allow for more precise platforming-based challenges and the fixed dynamic camera system works well, showing off the variety and scope of the environments you travel to, from the urban industry zone to the icy mountaintops. Finally, the forensics, hacking, lock-picking and repair mini-games are all really well implemented and entertaining. All of this being true, Agents seems to shed more of the Sims feel as it embraces the polished, linear adventure. There's less building and customization in this game than in MySims or Kingdom and the AI element is thrown virtually out the window. Meanwhile, some of unfortunate trademarks of the franchise -- trivial missions and sickly sweet character dialog -- return for disappointing results".
PBG says some things, and then MySims Agents happens.
Gamertell has posted a positive review of EA's MySims Agents for Wii.
From the review:
"While both prior MySims games were straightforward simulation and adventure games, where you'd need to create building and furniture on request, MySims Agents breaks away from the simulation elements and is strictly an adventure game. After playing, I'm pleasantly surprised and would consider MySims Agents my favorite entry in the series."
About writes: "Kid's games. For me, the phrase brings to mind tedious exercises in bland, cloying dialogue, nonsensical stories and dumbed-down, poorly implemented gameplay; games no one over ten could enjoy. But sometimes, just sometimes, a game aimed at children is just plain fun. Such is the case with MySims Agents."
