I read the reviews of EFP, but nothing in them convinced me to spend all night downloading it. I will say that Prissy Poodle is partially right. Nothing in the description from the developers or the promoters says one game is better than the other. They pretty much all point to a similarity, I suppose thinking that if you like one you'll like the other. This is true to a large degree.

I say partially right, because the reviews by players does tend to claim it is better than VV. Most of these claims are based on the fact that game play in EFP is fast, whereas in VV it is real time play. I've also seen some VV reviews that claim it's better than EFP because it is more challenging, and, because you interact more with the villagers.

To me, this is kind of like trying to compare Apples and Oranges. Yes, both are a fruit; come from a tree; are sweet and most people who like one will like the other. Oranges make a great treat; a great juice; a great preserve and a great glaze or icing. But let's face it. When was the last time you ate a piece of orange pie; orange cake; used an orange in stuffing; used orange juice as the base to sweeten other juices; made a vinegar out of an orange, etc etc etc.

The apple is vastly more versatile, and, in the long run is much more enjoyable. In my opinion, VV is an apple compared to EFP with it's brief, yet enjoyable, burst of flavor.
