Examiner – MySims SkyHeroes preview

Ah, finally…a break from all of the DarkSpore news!  Let’s see what is happening with MySims Sky Heroes, the next MySims game in the series which expands onto PS3 and Xbox 360 as well as the Nintendo Wii and DS.  For this interview, they previewed the Xbox version:

Characters are extremely customizable in MySims SkyHeroes, with over twelve different plane types.  All parts are fully interchangeable and can be painted individually for complete personal customization.  Playing through the main campaign yields many unlockable plane parts ranging from purely cosmetic to weapon upgrades.  Early weapons include a basic machine gun and missiles.  It isn’t until later in the game that one can unlock devastating weapons.

The main campaign features five chapters, each with a special boss event and a total of 42 chapters.  One of the neat things about MySims SkyHeroes is that there is no way to lose.  Players have unlimited lives.  Each death results in your pilot spawning in a different part of the level, without loss of game progress.  This is a great feature that rewards young children for not giving up – a valuable lesson to learn that will help them throughout their lifetime.
