Retro_Link Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 http://www.cubed3.com/news/10005 EA have announced a new title in the MySims franchise, bringing classic storytelling to the Wii and DS. The idea behind Kingdom sees players helping out the poor King Roland and his faithful subjects restore peace to their land. Players will be able to construct their castle, tend to their pigs, meet and greet folk and even search for lost treasure. We start in the centre of the story, The Capital, seeing King Roland, Princess Butter and the mysterious Wizard Marlon. Whilst both the Wii and DS versions see building and character interaction within the regions of the Kingdom, the DS outing has an additional chapter seeing players help the King thwart evil plans through action and mini-games. " MySims has been met with such enthusiasm by players and families everywhere, we are excited to make MySims its own franchise within The Sims Label. MySims Kingdom has players helping King Roland and his subjects make the MySims world a better place by completing rewarding quests, building houses, bridges or even making contraptions powered by electricity or water. And MySims Kingdom on Nintendo DS, adds many new activities such as kayaking, ski jumping, populating the town zoo and many others! Rod Humble, Head of Studio for The Sims Label. " MySims Kingdom is due release in North America, Europe and Japan in Fall of 2008. EA's support seems to be hitting an even higher gear atm! Great to see!
Noku Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Good god... However good the gameplay may be, even I can't refute the "kiddy" argument when made against this game...
tapedeck Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 If it was online I would have loved this...can't be bothered now. I did like the original but the loading times and lack of online made the title a grind to play.
Hero-of-Time Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 I love the srt style of MySims, im a sucker for colourful and cutesy graphics. Like Tapedeck said, if they sort out the stupidly long loading times of the 1st game and slap some online goodness into it then this has great potential.
