MySims Agents – WII – Preview

Pre-E3 2009 Preview

EA’s MySims series has been a fairly
prolific offshoot over the past few years, offering gamers the chance to create
characters and play through a variety of different game genres. Now the series
is looking to go in yet another direction with the upcoming release of MySims
Agents. MySims Agents takes the franchise in a somewhat different direction from
a storyline perspective, taking the adventure away from castles and kingdoms and
moving it to a world of corrupt companies and crooked CEOs. The game is also a lot
more of a straight forward adventure than previous MySims titles, but still
manages to utilize the franchises’ character customization options.

MySims Agents is an adventure game
that has players taking on an illicit CEO named Morcubus, who has the entire
city in his pocket. It’s up to you to take on all elements of corruption in the
city and bring the city back to law and order.

The game is an investigative style
of adventure game. You and your crew of buddies will use a variety of gadgets
and tools to search for evidence and interrogate persons of interest.
Additionally, you can build an agency and select the agents that you hire to
work for you. Each agent has their own specific strengths and weaknesses,
allowing you to play the game as you see fit.

Additionally, MySims Agents will
have plenty of mini-game style activities as you play, capitalizing on the Wii’s
controls. The Wii motion controls work quite well, offering a variety of
different gameplay situations, including a lock-pick game and other hacking
mini-games.

Graphically, the game has the same
blend of cartoony characters as other MySims titles, keeping with the
light-hearted and casual aesthetic that the series has been known for. MySims
Agents is set to launch exclusively on the Wii in Q3 2009.

For All E3 2009 GZ
