As a parent, I feel this is a good game for younger children who have learned the beginning stages of reading. The game is set up so that it is easy to follow and the directions are quite simple. Also, as your character interacts and talks with the other characters, you get hints and clues to figure out what to do next. As a family game, MySims Agent is a fairly good one, though again, it is single player so it is more for the parents to help and/or cheer on their child as they play.
