Tutorial too long

This is the first time I have played SIMS on the WII platform. We purchased My Sims Kingdom as a gift for my boyfriend's daughter, who is 11. The tutorial was way too long without a saving point. My boyfriend's daughter did a few of the tasks in the tutorial and then gave up. There was no save point for her so when she turned it on the next day she had to recreate her sim, house, workshop, chair, etc. There should be a save point earlier in the game;especially in a game that is geared towards younger kids. Some do not have the attention span or patience to sit and play through the tutorial for hours!

Addicting

I'm in my 20s and really love sims games on the PC. I usually play them for a couple days at length and then get bored and forget about it...revisiting them occasionally. I did the entire sims castaway game and LOVED it. That one I rented and was able to finish in a week or so. Since I had already done in on the nintendo DS, I pretty much had it figured out.

I've never played my sims, but when I saw my sims kingdom coming out, it sounded really fun so I put it on my wishlist and my parents got it for me for xmas. At first I was a little unsure -- because I don't like to spend $50 on a game and then feel guilty when I don't play it. I usually get the majority of games at the library to try them out first.

I feel no guilt about my sims kingdom because I'm addicted to it. I've played for more hours then I want to admit and I think I'm still only 1/2 way thru. Also, I will mention this is a single player game and you need both the wii-mote and nunchuck to play.

In the game, you are a 'wandolier', which makes you a special person with one of the coveted wands of your kingdom. You're pretty much a public servant and go from island to island in the kingdom helping other sims rebuild, redecorate, etc. In order to get the things you need to do those tasks, you must find certain items,fish, and go mining in order to complete the scroll which allows you the 'power' to do the task ahead of you. Hopefully that doesn't all sound horribly confusing.

It is story based, and you do get screens where your sim and others will converse back and forth so that the game can give you the information you need to complete all your tasks on that particular island and open up other islands.

The only thing I've noticed is that some islands are darker and harder to see then others. I personally liked the playful, bubbly islands better if only because it was easier to see around. Hopefully I will complete this game soon, because my boyfriend is about to admit me to a sims addiction facility.

Happy Gift Recipient

I got this for my 7 year old daughter for Christmas. She loves the game and has already played it more hours than is probably healthy - but it is Christmas vacation.
