MYSIMS RACING is a car racing game for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS platforms. It features characters that will appeal to very young children, uses lots of bright, primary colours and is clearly aimed at the younger gamer. The issue free dialogue would appear to be in Japanese with English subtitles. The game was passed ‘U’ as it contains no material likely to offend or harm.

The player first selects a character before customising his or her car. After completing a number of tutorials that teach the player how to use the Wii controls to drive, steer and control the car the player's character explores the village of Speedville and interacts by way of text conversations with other characters (e.g. Ginny the Fire Chief, Gino the pizza cook and Samurai Bob). They offer the player the opportunity to take part in racing missions and other driving tasks, all of which take place on a racing track. These include time trials, obstacle courses and conventional races. During the course of these races / tasks the player can collect various 'power ups' that, in addition to simply increasing speed, include the ability to shoot footballs from the front of the car (useful for bursting bubbles) and the ability to throw water melons or beehives etc from the car to obstruct other drivers. No-one is ever injured and, although cars can bounce off safety barriers, they do not crash.
