Are you by chance looking for some fun Wii games for your family to gift this holiday season?
Well I have two to tell you about that are sure to delight your kids, and maybe even some of the grown ups in your home!
EA Games has a whole line up of family games and Amber was lucky enough to be able to test drive a couple of them.
My Sims Agents is a wonderful game that brings out a fun storyline for you to enjoy.
You start the game by creating your unique character
and then go off to complete missions to stop the evil plot of MorcuCorp!
The storyline for the game is amazing and really fun, Amber's only complaint was that the ending was not quite fulfilling enough for her.
Also, My Sims Agents has another section of the game called "Dispatch Missions". These missions are done by agents you recruit and require you to do...nothing. Unfortunately, the rest of the story isn't unlocked until after you finish all the Dispatch Missions.
However, the game kept Amber fully occupied for some time, she abandoned all the other games she plays to focus purely on this one. When we weren't in the room watching her play we could hear endless giggles coming from it as she enjoyed the story and the characters.
My Sims Agents is available all retailers nationwide, and is rated E (with Comical Mischief). A certain level of reading is required if a child is playing it on their own. It is also available in Nintendo DS format.
The other game that we were able to review was BOOM BLOX Bash Party.
Developed by EA in collaboration with director and producer Steven Spielberg, BOOM BLOX Bash Party takes destruction to new heights, providing the ultimate social gaming experience!
Amber and her best friend Megan went to town playing this the last time Megan spent the afternoon at our home. The girls definitely were entertained by this title.
They built, destroyed, built, destroyed, built...well you get the idea! And on and on!
The game is fun and eventful when playing it socially, a great item to pull out at holiday celebrations. Since it is rated E (with Cartoon Violence), it's appropriate for your kindergarten aged nephew all the way to Gran and Gramps, and everyone in between (I wonder how Fido would perform with a Wii controller on this .....).
The perception in the game is a little difficult to master when you are placing the blocks in the "build" mode, but destroying your structure with cannons, bombs, baseballs, bowling balls and lasers is the fun part anyway.
There are different modes to choose from and each one has varying goals to reach to pass to the next level.
Available at retailers nationwide BOOM BLOX Bash Party is available exclusively on the Wii platform.
I received complimentary copies of both My Sims Agents and BOOM BLOX Bash Party for the purpose of this review post.
i want Wii Sims Agents...for myself :)
So cool! I have heard of this game and I think my kids would have a total blast with it.
I appreciate your review very much. Now I want it even more! LOL!
I really want the Agents one!
I have been trying to decide which games to get next for my boys. I think the Boom Blox would be awesome! Thanks for the ideas! :) :)
Great reviews! We're trying to decide which Wii games to buy since all we have are sports ones! These both look wonderful!
The Sims Secret Agent looks awesome!
