Like MySims Kingdom, there are 10 minigames in which you can play to earn money. The minigame we played involved memorizing the outfit that the MySim was wearing as he or she dashed across the top screen. We had to remember what kind of hairstyle he or she had, as well as the shirt and pants that he or she was wearing. The game ends when you mess up three times, but as time goes on the MySims will run faster.The extractor–which also looks like hair dryer–is back and you can suck up essences from around town. Using the essences that you find, you can throw them all into this gumball-like machine and it will spit out new items for you to decorate your home with.

These are just some of the things you can do while you take on quests from various characters from the MySims world. There are six locations to visit, and you can always hitch a ride from a bus stop to get to where you want to go.

I think I’ll be skipping the DS version of MySims Agents – unless I receive it as a gift.  It’s developed by EA Japan while it’s counterpart is developed at EA Redwood Shores in California…It seems like it’ll be two completely different games sharing the same name with nothing else in common…
