I love the game also and think LDW did a GREAT job on the sequel. The interaction between the kids and adults is a great addition. I also like that it seems to take longer to acquire Master skills and some of the puzzles are a bit tricky

The only complaint is that the villagers look the same as in VV1... I was hoping they would be more refined. However, that is a tiny, tiny complaint!!
Kudos to LDW and I can't wait to see what fun additions will be included in VV3.
