Each completed task will help the town thrive, so what each player makes… makes all the difference!
As fans explore and build up their town, they’ll begin to attract new characters, like DJ Candy Supergroove — the town’s hippest disc jockey who likes to spin music and deck out her home in the coolest new fashions. Or cook up a slice with the famous Italian chef — Gino Delicioso — the best pizza maker in town! Each of the 60 unique characters bring knowledge and a fresh new experience to the town, and it’s up to each player who moves in and who moves out, proving there’s never a dull moment in the MySims community!

Some factors depending, I might end up getting this just for the whole "Legos with Wiimote" factor...At least as something to satiate my desire for Animal Crossing Wii for a bit...

Yea this looks very much like an Animal Crossing, just slightly different.

The odd thing is that really Animal Crossing wasn't that communication oriented, way too many canned responses, so I don't see what people are having a problem with unless it is lack of online which while sad isn't a game breaker IMO if it makes up for it with customization.

Any word on whether you can import Miis? Last I heard was "no" for some reason. Just curious if they got that figured out by now.
No you cannot import Miis from what I've read.

Well, I'm glad that makes any sense at all.
