MySims Agents is a one-player game that's all about solving mysteries. It's a single player game, that uses the Wii-mote and nunchuk to move, climb and investigate various deeds.
This game is heavy on reading. All the mysteries, instructions and clues are presented as text. Five- or six-year-olds who are just perfecting their reading skills may not be able to keep up.
The gameplay mainly consists of walking around others to ask them questions regarding a specific mystery, such as "who does this dog really belong to?" or "who's my secret admirer?" If needed, players can get some very specific instructions in the notebook about who to talk to or where to look next.
Each mystery is really its own cute little story, and it's a lot of fun unraveling the details and using all the tools at your disposal to find out the answer.
Even though MySims Agents is a single-player game, parents should still enjoy playing with younger kids as they help guide them towards the next clue or figure out where to go. For kids playing by themselves, you can be assured they'll be flexing their mental muscles to solve the game's entertaining puzzles.
