Not as good as Animal Crossing.
The Bad: Moving around seems slow. Many times, it's difficult to know what to do next.
Review: This game is cute, and is a good game for kids. It's a "virtual life" game, where the goal is simply to make everyone in your town happy to attract more tourists and money, etc, so you can unlock more minigames, clothes, furniture and accessories to buy for you and your home. It's very similar to Animal Crossing, but not quite as good. The visuals in this game are probably slightly better, since the characters are larger, but the environments here look a little bland too. There are a handful of minigames to unlock and each of them are decently fun. There's paragliding, raquetball, and a few card games, plus others. If you're looking for quality minigames, obviously Mario Party, Raving Rabbids, or Wario Ware is a much better choice.
The other good thing about this game is that besides the main town area, there are 4 other locations around your town you can unlock. One of them is a forest area, another a mountain area, a fishing dock area, and an entertainment area. Oh, you can also fish in this game, like Animal Crossing. Another "minigame" of sorts is simply when you talk to people. When you talk to the tourists or new people, you have to kind of cheer them up, and the game will give you conversation options to pick while talking to them, and you have to pick the right ones before the timer runs out. This will get them to talk to you, sometimes raise your star meter, and sometimes give you money when talking to tourists.
There are a variety of things to do and people to interact with, but it seems like Animal Crossing has more content with the shovel and bug catching there, as well as upgrading your house.
I may be a little biased, since I find these "virtual life" games to be not so great or exciting though.
Overall, this is a good game for kids, but Animal Crossing is a similar and better choice.
