Other stuff to be aware of is how the Wii and DS versions have different tracks, and there are some power-ups that act different or are unique to each version entirely. For example, the pumpkin oil-slick gets gunk on the screen of the DS version, and the “love bunny” is missing from the DS version entirely. The biggest difference between the versions is how the DS version has 4 player online and Ad Hoc multiplayer. The Wii version is missing this, but has the neat feature where you can bring your MySims character and vehicle to other people’s places by using your Wiimote for storage. Also, there is no Wii/DS connectivity.
Wii motion controls also show up, although they aren’t forced upon you. MySims Racing supports Wiimote and Nunchuke, Wiimote/Wii Wheel, GameCube controller, and Classic Controller, so there are plenty of options to play. Motion control is mostly relegated to shaking to hop, or cleans tuff off your screen, or to deal with opponents’ attacks. It’s largely inoffensive, and doesn’t seem to offer anything to hinder playing the game.
The biggest question here is MySims Racing worthy of your attention? Well, there’s a few ways you can come to this. I mean, do you like kart racers? Is Mario Kart not enough for you? Do you like the customization of MySims? Can you get past its casual stylings? Then MySims Racing might be right up your alley.
