Good blend between animal crossing and the sims franchise, not really too much like the other sims, and not for all

Well I had been meaning to try this game out for quite some time so I picked it up via Gamefly. And I must say I was pleasantly surprised by this little title. Let me say right of the bat, if you tried Animal Crossing for GC or DS and hated it, DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME. It bears a striking resemblance to those titles but adds a little bit of sims-like flair to the mix. My wife liked it more than I did and spent MANY hours playing through it. Can be a little repetitive but it works for this style of game. I would recommend renting to anyway before buying it though, it's definitely not for all, but it was a good time waster for me.

Basic premise is that you move into a town where everyone has pretty much left and you are the new builder. Your job is to build homes and furniture and run little tasks for the townspeople. The more successful you are, the more people will move into your town. Can get a little boring collecting supplies for building furniture, but like I said this game is not for everyone.
