MySims: Kingdom

MySims Kingdom is a simulation game for the Wii and Nintendo DS, developed by EA Redwood Shores and published by EA Games. It is a follow up or sequel to MySims, using a fairytale/medieval theme. Its release is planned to be in the Fall of 2008. Characters from the previous game return in MySims Kingdom, in addition to plenty of new characters.

New Features
In a IGN.com interview many new features were explained, such as no more boring loading screens: a big complaint from the original MySims. Whenever a loading screen would normally appear, an interactive cut scene will begin and the loading will happen in the background. Some other new features explained were that Kingdom will now have much a better frame rate than the first one had, resulting in smoother animation. The graphics have also been said to be significantly improved.

Another new improvement was the inclusion of the new building editor. Instead of going to a workshop, as the player did in the original MySims, players can now enter building mode anywhere in the game, during which the player's character will be shown. The player's Sim can now jump as well, to allow more interactivity to the game.

Another new improvment is the variety of characters and places. In the first MySims, there were only 3 main locations, The Forest, Town and The Desert. But in MySims kingdom there are different islands, for example, Cutopia, Spookane, The Magical Forest of Elves and of course where you start, Capital Island.

Another new improvment is the variety of characters. It goes from a king to a caveman, an elf to a dutchess. You may see some original characters, like Captain Ginny, but she is now taking form of Sheriff Ginny. Chef Gino is still there, he's still the same. Also don't forget your favorite sisters! Yes, Violet and Poppy are back. They're still together, and once again Violet is still in a hated enviroment, Cutopia. You should expect her to be in Spookane, but she loves her sister so much she is willing to sacrafice so much just to be on the same island as her. But... there is a twist with Violet. I'll give you a hint, it involves a MySims version of Romeo and Juliet. My favorite is your new posse. Lyndsay and Buddy, you may remember Buddy from MySims as the Bellhop, but he still has the same look but a different role. Lyndsay is one of most important characters. If you wanted to unlock a new power for your wand, talk to Lyndsay. Marlon (the wizard) just "happened" to choose her to take care of the scrolls.
