By going for a chibified Sim in MySims, not only has Electronic Arts maximized the "Aww, cute!" factor inherent with most things chibi, they've surprisingly been able to incorporate a greater range of expressiveness than their more anthropomorphic-faithful Sim cousins in the Maxis parent The Sims.

As you will see in this GameTrailers trailer for MySims, the greater facial surface area allows for very quirky and very funny facial expressions as well as body language. No thought bubbles or Simlish can be seen or heard in this trailer, but it's too early to presume that facial + body language will be the primary means of communication in MySims, or this trailer's just on Simlish mute.

Oh, and as you will also see in this trailer, it is not wise to rile someone whose hair speaks of gangland and whose eyes speak of la-la-land. You have been warned, so EA games will not be responsible for any gang-related violence YourSim suffers.
