A good game that's fun to play, but a few things prevent it from being amazing.
What made this games kind of not that great was the fact that you stayed in one town for the majority of the game. Even though the town had different scenery depending on where you went, I spent most of it a a pretty small area. I also wasn't completely fond of the city renovations side quest or main quest, but I proceeded to pretty much complete it anyway. It had a Sims kind of feel to it which is probably better off being in the Sims. The game also went by really really fast at the end. It wasn't really a problem but it could have been a longer game.
Overall:
Gameplay: amazing as usual
Story: Captivating
Graphics: Pretty good, the females could still use work
Anything Else: Multiplayer is pointless as I never really used it (I've heard it fun though...)
