In a press release today, Electronic Arts announced it was going undercover with MySims Agents, an exciting mystery-solving adventure game in development for the Nintendo Wii and DS.
Though the general overview of the game for both platforms is similar ("players are the heroic agents who must stop a sinister plot that threatens the fate of an entire city"), the detailed descriptions of the games are decidedly different.
For the Wii, players take on the role of a special agent hired to foil the sinister plans of Morcubus, lord of the criminal underworld. By recruiting different MySims, each with their own special characteristics, 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 the mystery. Jump aboard the jet to reach an ancient temple, a spooky mansion or an icy mountaintop chalet in search of clues that lead players closer to the sinister Morcubus.
For the 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 they can talk to their favorite MySims, sharpen their agent skills with 10 different mini-games, and search through underground caverns for clues to the thief’s undoing.
No firm release date was announced, only that MySims Agents will be available worldwide in the Fall of 2009.
