MySims Agents for Wii
In MySims Agents players take on the role of a special agent
hired to foil the sinister plans of Morcubus, CEO of the corrupt
MorcuCorp. By recruiting different MySims, each with their own
special skills, players can build up their very own crime-busting dream
team. From tracking footprints and using forensics to picking locks,
hacking into computers, following leads, and collecting clues, players
must rely on their wits, skills, and trusty gadgets to piece together
the clues to solve mysteries. Jump aboard a private jet to reach an
ancient temple, a spooky mansion, a seedy industrial section of the
city, a sunshine filled beach boardwalk, or an icy mountaintop chalet.
Each clue players uncover will lead them closer to the sinister
Morcubus. Players return from their adventures with cool treasures that
can be used to construct and customize their five story headquarters.
MySims Agents for Nintendo DS
In MySims Agents on Nintendo DS, players are agents assigned by
their agency to help the mayor stop a notorious thief from stealing an
ancient treasure. By searching for clues, solving intricate puzzles, and
matching wits with the thief, gamers can protect the treasure and the
town. Along the way players talk to their favorite MySims
characters, sharpen their agent skills with 10 different mini-games, and
search through underground caverns for clues to the thief's undoing!
