Animal Crossing New Leaf

I have been playing this game for two weeks now and I am totally addicted.
I have played nearly all the previous versions and this is a far jump from the last game. In this game it is far easier to make money if you know where to look. In previous episodes this required cheating by changing the date etc which I never liked so it got fustrating very quickly.
Also is the fact you don't get all the shops and characters straight away it rewards the amount you play and spend money by giving you more buildings to explore.
Only downside is that it is still a majority collector and money making game. My brother calls the debt game and that is still the case but I enjoy filling up the museum with every sort of fish so I still have fun.
Verdict is, I will be playing it alot more and it will take alot before another game knocks it off the top spot.
