How is the Sims Medieval?

Hi guys just wondering if any of you guys bought the game? Is it really different from the Sims 3 such that it's worth buying a copy?

hmm sounds promising...thanks for the quick reply :) trying to decide between it or go for Lego Star Wars III lol, want a more light hearted game in my collection

I didnt like it. Is the most linear game I ever saw. The other sims games allows you to dowhatever you want at the time you want. In this game if you do anything different you are seriously penalized.

To be honest I'm not getting into it yet. Then again I have bought several Sims games and never got into them. :/ I do like the setting though there is no freedom compare to the other sims.

I made an evil vampire like dude but I am still given quests such as 'Make good relations with other factions' and 'Discuss how to help the kingdom with advisors', etc.

I think big time sims fans will like it though.

thanks for all the replies... I've juz bought it haha will be playing it on the weekends :)

wow there's a patch out already that's fast! I think the saves should be kept even if you update the game...that was the case for the previous sims games. But I'm not 100% sure haha

The problem is that there isn't really a free play mode. You always have to have an active quest to be working towards, and once the quests are done it's game over and you have to start again. It would be so much better if it just let you take control of who you wanted, when you wanted, and live out their day to day lives.
