Addictive and fun! This game surprised me more than once! I write this review after I read those. Tomodachi Life does not compare Animal Crossing or even if Sims has some similarities. Animal Crossing as much keeps me entertained for hours ... 5/6 games. Tomodachi Life makes me much exceed seventy hours ... In Tomodachi Life, we are a spectator, who can not run at will the characters (so no connection with the Sims!). This role of spectator "limit" to feed them, clothe them, advise them, console them, but from time to time, it assumes the role of "actor" according to the situation. And that's what makes the beauty of the game: Miis are independent in their choice. You do not want that John married Martine, well, the only way to stop him is to plug up his marriage proposal! It does not click a button to cancel the request. If you are happy that Marc finally makes his statement to Jeanne, this idyllic situation can turn into a "tragedy" if Peter decides to meddle in etc ... The Mii does what he wants, leads his little life in real time . Unlike Animal Crossing, you can not change the time at will to speed events, on the contrary, it may slow down and block the news for 24 hours. Of course, this real time is still arranged to mii sauce: a baby becomes a young adult in 4 days. Certainly there therefore has similarities with Animal Crossing: no violence, no death and even love mii retain some distance between them (there are just hearts above their heads), making it game is all public. But there is absolutely nothing to do with the sims if a mii is not fed for x time, it does not die! (Remember, the sims are not recommended at least 12 years). In short, Tomodachi Life is a real-time game where you can rub shoulders with mii mii doubles of your loved ones, but also movie stars etc ... (the decision is yours!). From my point of view: the phases of the game are rather short (about twenty minutes) and are made on several daily connections, even if at first it much more time goes by, because there has live creations mii and also the discovery of the island etc ..
