Furthermore, the game doesn't consider any of your previous actions so if you have been kicking someone in the shins and punching them in the gut for fie minutes straight, all you need do is give them a quick hug and you'll be the best of friends once more. If you try to coax an item from a Sim, you will usually only have luck if you are being nice to them and not the other way around. You can choose to be mean or nice when socializing, but in my experience there's really no benefit to the former save for the fact that you receive a certain type of essence as a result. While there are happy, sad, angry, good and bad Sims to be found at every turn, their behaviors have little impact on the way you advance through the title, another shortcoming. The presentation of the Sims falls directly in line with other Sims titles, except, of course, for the more cuddly, deformed look they take on. There are all sorts of sickeningly sweet characters to interact with, including, most notably, your two closest friends Buddy and Lyndsay, who are usually at your side during your quest. The Wandolier mechanic suitably explains exactly why you're able to roam about the world and constantly construct buildings and objects. As a Wandolier, gifted with a magical scepter, you uniquely possess the powers to use essences to jump hurdles, most of which revolve around building and painting. King Roland is seeking a new Wandolier to journey from area to area in order to lend a helping hand and restore order and prosperity to his kingdom. The cinematics, all of them in-game, adequately tell the story with lots of character-based humor. The kingdom theme works well, offering the perfect setup to explore the various regions that comprise the world. I think the EA made the right choice in its decision to create a more focused storyline. The developer has again stubbornly sidestepped the possibility of Mii implementation, or Sims based on Miis, which is unfortunate. So if your goal is to design a Sim that looks anything like you do, better cross those fingers. Absolutely a misstep for a game whose main character - you - is so personal and important. Of course, as is usually the case, mechanics designed to be so user friendly often arrive at the expense of depth and the character creator in Kingdom is no different, as you will quickly learn that you cannot modify individual facial features or accessories. It's not daunting in the least, clearly designed to be as easy to use as possible for a wide variety of gamers. Kingdom again features a simple character creator in which you intuitively point the Wii remote at various facial and body features to trigger new and different texture sets - whole faces, hairstyles, shirts and pants. The title unfolds in surprisingly linear fashion, its character interactions still shallow, a mere doorway to the collection of play-driving essences. By nearly every measure, Kingdom is a better undertaking than the original, yet it's also a game that has stepped even farther away from the Sims franchise to which it owes its existence.
Kingdom dons some smart new control and presentational advancements, not to mention enhanced visuals, a refined framerate, dramatically increased load times, and a new, focused storyline complete with varied world themes.
