Summary

In MySims Agents players take on the role of a special agent hired to foil the sinister plans of Morcubus, lord of the criminal underworld. By recruiting different MySims, each with their own special characteristics, players can build up their very own crime-busting dream team. From tracking footprints and using forensics to picking locks, hacking into computers, following leads and collecting clues, players must rely on their wits, skills and trusty gadgets to piece together the clues to solve the mystery. Jump aboard the jet to reach an ancient temple, a spooky mansion or an icy mountaintop chalet in search of clues that lead players closer to the sinister Morcubus. Return from the adventure with cool treasures that players can use to construct and customize their headquarters and make it their own. [Electronic Arts]

Game Chronicles

MySims Agents is one of the best games to come out on the Wii yet this year – at least for the pre-teen gamers out there. Agents does a fantastic job of introducing young gamers to the concepts of open world and resource management gaming genres – and helps stimulate their inquisitive nature all while having a blast.

Sure, this is one for the younger gamer, but it's witty, varied and has great visuals. [Dec 2009, p.61]

A must have title for the Wii if you have little ones and even worth a look if you don't. A solid and fun game that let's you play the role of a secret agent.

NintendoWorldReport

It is easily one of the most original games in the series, thanks to its globetrotting, mystery-solving theme along with gameplay that recalls classic game conventions while successfully putting a MySims theme on it. This is one mission players will not regret taking on.

MySims Agents presents a unique take on the secret agent theme with something more akin to a detective agency, but none of the fun is lost.

The experiment is largely a success, and anyone with even a passing interest in the MySims franchise will find Agents' adorable characters, funny story, and other endearing qualities outweigh any minor foibles that arise along the way.

MySims Agents is by far the best of the series so far. The unique detective aspect is something that a lot of family games have not attempted, and it works. Controls are smooth, graphics are eye-catching and the appeal is hard to ignore.

IGN

MySims Agents is definitely my favorite game in the series yet. I prefer the special agent theme. Exploring more inspired locales for evidence, interrogating characters for clues and piecing it all together to solve crimes is good fun.

MySims Agents is the most traditional episode of the series, but also, probably, the best one. It's an interesting and amusing, albeit unoriginal, adventure which will delight younger players more than the older ones.

MySims Agents is without a doubt the best of the series and manages to appeal to a wide audience. Don't let the childish appearance fool you, because the game will hook you for several hours. The actual gameplay is perhaps a tad repetitive and the missions a bit linear, but it's packaged beautifully and served with a catchy story, that the whole comes recommended.

My Sims games have a checkered past, but Agents is a real gem. Above all, the gameplay is designed so well that you'll be a regular Sherlock in no time.

GameFocus

Most adult gamers will find MySims Agents to be a walk in the park and will probably get bored of the same routine rather quickly. As such, this game is not geared for adults but for younger gamers looking for a bit of adventure and something that doesn’t contain any violence. This is definitely the best game in the franchise and one that anyone under the age of 13 will enjoy.

MySims Agents had the potential to be nothing more than a bland, forgettable adventure game. But thanks to its great sense of humor and charming quirkiness, it's able to rise above mediocrity.

The MySims series has definitely released a good game in MySims Agents, and it will be well received by the Wii's younger audience.

At times, it feels as though MySims Agents is like a film made for children that's filled with nods at parents to keep them awake for the entirety of the movie. It's also likely the best title in the series.

GameTrailers

MySims Agents is a solid entry in the series filled with memorable encounters and characters. Fans of MySims Kingdom will certainly enjoy the change of setting. While older players will breeze through it and yearn for more things to see and do, younger ones will enjoy the minigames, agency customization, and quirky cases.

My Gamer

With light platforming, simple controls, bright color pallet, basic game design, and ease of use, MySims Agent is probably the best game in the MySims series. Although best suited for younger players, adult gamers can still get some entertainment out of this title.

Chatting with characters can get tiresome, too; it's entertaining when they have funny dialogue, but the humor isn't as consistent as I'd like. [Nov 2009, p.89]

In Agents we follow a detective who has to find kidnapped dogs and save the planet from destruction. The difficulty setting is a bit low but it is a long and entertaining journey especially for the younger audience.

RealGamer

For a game with such a new perspective and new approach to the MySims franchise, the ideas it incorporates are used so much that they become old after the first few hours of play, which is disappointing and means that this never fully achieves its full potential.

1UP

While casting adorable MySims in a kid-friendly, superspy adventure is an idea filled with potential, the game suffers from the one thing a superspy shouldn't have to endure -- boring and repetitive cases.

Daniel B gave it a10:
Bought this for my two little boys and they absolutely love this game. The puzzle solving is great for them and I'd much rather see a game with such problem solving skills than any shoot'em up sort of video game. This is great!

Some ONe gave it a9:
I love this game, and it is by far the best MYSims game. I give it a nine because no game could be perfect, but it's pretty close.

[anonymous] gave it a7:
This is a fun and fairly comedic game. however once you beat all the cases theres nothing fun to do.

fabry d gave it a10:
this game is great. why do wii games always score so low?

Sam J gave it a10:
very funny dialogue and very fun kinda makes me feel stupid at times cos of how hard some of the puzzles are though

Five Hens gave it a10:
We're rating this from a parents pointof view and based on that, overall we give EA MySims Agents 10 out of 10 for fun game play, a great story line, challenging puzzles, and good interactivity. We love the fact that it is so well suited for younger kids, encourages reading, reading comprehension, deductive reasoning, and problem solving. We would highly recommend this game for Wii owners with children over 6 years old. And oh, by the way, it wasn’t just the kids who loved the game. We’ve been having a great time playing it too!
