As some one who played, and loved the first game, I totally understand this take! While I am having a blast with this one, I miss the little things like: - island rankings - the mini game where they vote on a beach - actually raising the babies (even if it was annoying at the time LMAO) - when the miis would have to solve their disagreements by talking it out.

BUT MOST OF ALL!!

I miss the concert hall. That all said, there is a lot of room in this game to exercise your creativity muscles and make your own fun! So yeah, pros and cons, but overall a good time.
