I didn't spend a ton of time with My Sims for the DS, but from what I saw it looked quite promising, even for someone like me who hates Animal Crossing.
I mention Animal Crossing because that's what comes to mind when you so the big-headed avatars of the game and realize a lot of My Sims is about wandering around playing mini-games. In the game you are trying to bring a run-down resort island back to its former glory by fixing thing up and cheering up the tourists. Looked like fun. I only tried my hand at picture taking, which was amazingly easy, and fishing, which was a bit more complex.
The cool thing about fishing is that you have to tap and swirl different patterns with your stylus to attract different types of fish. I think I might actually like this game.
