More tame than Wild World but with a bunch more stuff to offer. Inasmuch as it always has you running errands and they rarely feel forced upon you, I'd call the soft progression system (on top of what growth was already there from the core Animal Crossing gameplay loop) a hit, a small one but a hit nonetheless. Furthermore, the new light customisation options were to my liking. I let my brother play the Animal Crossing games and I reckon this was the one he was into the most.
