SimAnimals Trailer; Playing Fetch With A Bear

January 23rd, 2009 Comments Off Posted in Wii News

I remember back when the first Sims game was unleashed upon the world. Playing it on my dad’s old Gateway laptop when 1GB ram was unheard of, and the idea of simulating the idea of human life was intriguing. That intrigue has turned to disgust, as its become the most milked franchise in the history of gaming. All I need for proof is the latest trailer from the EA game, SimAnimals.

I’m not sure what I hate about the trailer so much. The reason it disturbs me is that it’s obviously being marketed towards kids. Which wouldn’t be a bad thing if it didn’t show the kids smacking a badger with a stick, or playing fetch with a bear. I think having one Crocodile Hunter, or my favorite The Turtleman (Kentucky’s version of the Crocodile Hunter) is enough to have unleashed on our wildlife. We don’t need anymore “in-training”.
