Gameplay

The Wii version of MySims Party takes a departure from The Sims franchise and the other MySims games and begins with a character moving into a run-down town with a mayor desperate to bring residents back. The player's job is to enter festivals and win to bring new people into town. Players must collect points during these minigames to gain new characters and monuments and in return are given new playable characters and outfits for their Sim. As the town's population increases, new areas are unlocked.

The player can interact with citizens by talking to them. The player character can be customized in many different items. Unlike other games in The Sims franchise, the Sim does not have needs or wants.

Reception

The game received "mixed" reviews on both platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. In Japan, where the game was ported for release under the name Boku to Sim no Machi Party (ぼくとシムのまちパーティー, Boku to Shimu no Machi Pātī) on March 12, 2009 (the same release date as the Australian version), Famitsu gave it a score of 26 out of 40 for the DS version, and 25 out of 40 for the Wii version.

MySims Party debuted at 35th on the United Kingdom physical sales chart for the week ending March 21, 2009.
