My biggest gripe about this game is that I don't like the fact that the parentage gets "lost" or "disappears".
I was really lloking forward to this aspect and really thought there'd be some kind of Family Tree.
I still find that you can accidently inbreed your island and turn it into Pitcairn.
I guess I was hoping to much in this part of the game as I am quite let down.

Also, where are the pink hair kids? Pretty upset about this, I was hoping for some other colour hair too.

I also think there wasn't much thought put into the puzzles.
I like that in VV you have to Clear the rocks to get the creek to water the plants to get the flowers to get the butterflies.
Here, it seems a little less linear and they don't connect as well.

The collection thing is a bit of a gimmick... seems like a filler to say, "Hey it's new and approved!!". I would of liked to have seen this developed more,maybe be a bigger part of the story line and/or part of a puzzle.

Also, the gong thing with the four pieces as 4 separate puzzles was a little lame... and seems like it was easier to stretch it over 4 puzzles instead of making it one and coming up with 3 other puzzles.

So the whole 16 new completely different puzzle thing is a bit of a crock, especially when some are the same as VV such as the Algae Fish and the Herbs. THEN other things don't make sense. Why not have to make a school?? THEN that helps develop language (they could have had a teacher) THEN you read the writing on the wall. A few more new ideas would have been appreciated. It does seem that the most major thing that happened was repackaging.

Also, why do the coconuts never re-appear? And they should re-appear after a bit, I thought once I got Level 3 Farming that the people would learn how to sustainably grow instead we just got the same lame puzzle from VV (the fertily fish become the algae fish).
All in all, I have to say I'm quite disappointed in the game. I was expecting a lot more. And I do regret paying the $20 or so dollars that I did. I would reccommend people to it came out on sites they subsrcibe too.
