If you were reading the Gamespot review for this game and said, "I don't think I should buy this game," then you're totally wrong! MySims is a super awesome game with great graphics. Despite what Gamespot says, there is actually a lot of socializing in this game and you will be able to get over the building and essence collecting. Besides, building houses and objects and collecting essences is actually a whole lot of fun once you get used to it! The game also has great graphics and cool music and sounds. All games still have its downsides, but fortunately, MySims has only two. One, it takes a long time to load and has some lag times. And two, there is still a little more socializing that EA could've included in this game. Overall, I think that you should buy this game and ignore what Gamespot said about the game. Also, if you have both a DS and a Wii, get the Wii version of the game instead of the DS version. It's kind of better.
