It adds some nice features and will keep you busy, but overall just doesn't evolve at all.
Pros:
-Features online
-Lots of items to collect
-Touch screen controls add a nice touch for menus
-Tons of KK slider music and music for every hour of the day
-Tons of NPCs
-Random Town Generator is great.
Cons:
-I often encounter NPCs who feel like copy n paste of other NPCs
-Lack of real holidays is monsterously disapointing. -The custom holidays are extremely lame. Are you telling me I traded in halloween and easter for crap like yay day?
-It's a small world. Your town will will feel small after 1 day.
-Little items truly worth going for.
-Online is exacally as it sounds, online. No special features for you having a friend over, it's just him being over...
Having played this game for a while, I just feel like it's empty exicution. This game could have easly been 9.0 up but the town just doesn't evolve with youenough. We just need more seasonal stuff to fill in the gaps with nothing. For instance, on summer, there's a fireworks show every saturday night, but there's nothing on fall other than a 1 week acorn festival. Items also lack, there's just nothing worth showing off and not enough hugly rare expensive things, nothing hugly fun like an interactive airhockey table.
That being said, this game will not disapoint too much those lookingfor animal crossing on the go. It's got the essensials and does have online like people wanted, just feels like they deleted more feature then they added.
