First off, the controls aren't as smooth as Animal Crossing or Phantom Hourglass (both of which use the stylus extensively). It would have been nice to have been able to use both the stylus and/or the controls. It can be a pain picking up the WRONG item. Takes some skill. Having said that, I think it's a good game. But it's a little harder to play than HM Cute/Guy version. You start out on a small island and through hard work and interaction with other people it gradually grows (bridges to other islands). The interaction with other people is important this time around. Without it, people won't move to the island and the island can't 'grow'. As with all HM you can marry (takes longer than the other versions) and you can have a child that eventually grows up. If you like the HM series, you will definitely like this newer version.
