Rating

The game recivied mixed to negative reviews among critics. IGN gave the Xbox 360 version 7.0 commenting on the games high quality graphics.[2] IGN also gave the Wii version 7.0, commenting on the games simple controls but felt that the game has nothing really special about it. "The story mode is missing the clever writing that was enjoyed in some of the previous MySims games, and the lack of variety in the missions makes most of them feel like a chore". "Multiplayer can be fun, but it’s not doing anything we haven’t seen before".[3] IGN gave the DS version just 5.0 commenting that MySims SkyHeroes is oddly more complicated and way less fun than the console versions. The punishing gameplay takes away from what could have been a really fun multiplayer experience.[4] GameSpot gave the Xbox 360 version just 4.5.[5]
