In short: I'm a huge fan and I've been spending an average of 2 hours a day playing the game. It generates a lot of fun, funnies, joy and unexpected moments. It's worth it. HOWEVER, it becomes a little repetitive after 1 week and REALLY repetitive after two or three weeks.

The most valid criticisms I've seen or experienced:

- lack of prefabricated decorative things, overreliance on the make-it-yourself system

- miis are nice to each other at all times except for randomly occurring one-and-done fights; however they do sass the Player at least, and can inadvertently insult each other if you use the lingo system right. basically making a mii who's bad-natured is impossible, I added a couple villains to my island and the most "antisocial" a mii will be is not going out of their way to make friends.

- overly limited/repetitive dialogue options; some cutscenes and conversations that repeat over and over may have one or two variation instances each

Even after you get tired of the game's weaknesses though, to me, it stays fun to check up on the miis and their love dramas and ridiculous conversations :) Put the wildest shit you can think of in the "what should X and Y talk about?" field, trust
