All I know about it is you make a character that represents you and you move into a village whose inhabitants are animals and you can befriend them, buy stuff from them, build a house and remodel it to make it bigger, customize the town to an extent, and you can connect via the wi-fi connection if a friend has the same game and visit their town. It's fun and addictive if you like these kinds of games. My daughter doesn't play this one anymore, she'd rather play the City Folk version for WII.
sort of..... i suppose.... if you're on a permanent acid trip maybe. unless real life has changed and we do have money trees and presents that fall from the sky.... oh and the ufo and bird you can shoot down out of the sky, not to mention the really bizarre animals that are your neighbors...... i wouldn't really call it a real life simulation game.... that's more the SIMS line of games and this isn't like the SIMS in the least. The closest real life stuff in the game is fishing and catching bugs. lol.
If that's what they meant I'm sure that's what they would have said. Don't get me wrong I can see where they could (very slightly) think it's like a real life simulation, with the fishing, catching bugs, decorating the house, but that's really where the "real life" comparisons end. And that's hardly all you can do in the game.
O_o ...okay...I wasn't trying to be mean, I'm not sure why my comment was hidden. I just think "Real life" and "Real time" could easily be mistaken as meaning the same thing.
