I've had it from Block Buster for a week now (goes back tomorrow in fact).
The game is very good... and there's a ton to do. I can see getting a bit sick of it, and yet, there's always a reason to come back.
I think I've been playing too much, because I don't have an urge to get on like I did... and yet, you have to, just to see what you're missing. It's hard to explain. It's a great little game, and one that you'll want to never ever sell, since life goes on when you're not even there.
I won't be buying this game for two weeks. This means my town will be all without me for TWO WEEKS. I hate to see what I'll miss in that time. I may even get cockroaches in my home because of being gone so long... no, I'm not joking, it can happen in this game.
Oh, and even though it's not online, there's a great trading system. Say I have an apple and I want a cherry (some towns only start with one or two kinds of fruit). I can trade with someone via PW on the net. I give the name of the player and his/her town, and then the fruit. I then get a PW to give them, so only they can use it. This works for just about every item in the game. Even the NES roms!
