My Sims is EA's child friendly spin-off of the popular Sims brand and the Sky Heroes release is the first of these spin-offs to make it onto all of the main consoles. It's a racing and dog fighting game which is a little like Mario Kart (think power-ups, mines etc) except in the sky. The controls are extremely easy to get to grips with and there's no penalty for straying off the track or even crashing. In other words kids, or in certain cases adults, will have no problem learning how to play.
The cartoony game certainly looks like a SIMs release, although the developers haven't done anything to make you think it's more than a graphically underwhelming port of a Wii title. The game features a single-player mode and a tacked-on story which players of all ages will be bored by and the only amusing thing about it is the characters who speak a language that sounds like a cross between Irish and Ewok. The multi-player aspect of the game fun in a kind of good for passing fifteen minutes way but it's all been done before and better.
