    I really appreciate that this game made it to the U.S. A really wacky Nintendo game that is heavily Japanese. Such a cool idea. Uses your Mii characters on your 3DS to make an island in which you can befriend, form relationships with, and engage in other wacky activities with its inhabitants. Definitely worth picking up if you're in the mood for an unusual simulation game unlike any other.

    Plenty of slots to create plenty of characters and watch them interact, with a decent number of features to keep you busy as well as incentive to check back daily. By far the most entertaining feature is the ability to teach characters a number of genre songs. Writing your own lyrics is incredibly enjoyable. I wouldn't have minded a few more features to deepen lengthened interest in the game but overall it's a very enjoyable experience.

    I'll be honest, I really know nothing about this game. But, all four of my girls have a copy of this game and it has kept them busy for days. They absolutely love it. It allows them to make characters and then play them in a sims type of game but with a Nintendo twist.

    If you're looking for something like sims, but more kid friendly this is a great game. You have a little less control over the characters than in the sims but you can still interact with them, play mini games, give them silly clothes, and influence them. There are no custom houses but you can change the mii's apartment furnishings. It can get repetitive so it's not something I will spend hours playing, but it's great for small waits or just something to turn on and check for 10-15 min at a time. There's some really funny stuff in it and making your own random miis is also very fun. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys sim games.

    I'll Be completely honest, I haven't played it but I have watched my daughter play. She's 10. And she won't put it down. I know this game is really big in Japan and is about creating your own characters for everyday life sort of like the Sims I guess. My recommendation is to check out a few YouTube videos on gameplay etc..

    Not your typical game - it's pretty unique and sometimes head scratching. If you like Animal Crossing and the like, you will enjoy this - however it doesn't have as much content as an AC does.

    My son asked for this game, and he liked it more than I expected. Neat creating characters but requires some imagination to make it unique. He still prefers a game with a little more action.

    It's a game that has a lot of promise. It's a little bit like Sims, but using your Mii characters and interacting with other Mii characters. You can do things a number of ways, get married, go on a trip, have adventures, and build a "life." It's fun with friends and a blast by yourself. If you like Sims and you like Nintendo, likely this is a game for you.
