Well, it is definitely good, and there are some very good and much-needed changes from the original (not talking of graphics here, which is gorgeous).
There are some things that bother me, though, and the biggest letdown is that after you have played for a while things start to get very repetitive. Sure, there is much to do, but as this is an open-ended game it should have more to it.
My review: 7 out of 10.
Everything is beautiful to look at, the sounds are great (the speech reminds me of The Sims), and the controls spot on. The biggest plus is that you don't require a monster PC to run it.
I reduce the rating because it tend toward the repetitive (though not to the point of boredom), and it has no multiplayer option.
It you loved the original you'll love this version as well, and it will hold you glued to the screen for a ling time, but there WILL come a time when you thing enough is enough...
