Seconded, thirded and fourthed with a cherry on top. I really hope there'll be a lot of new stuff (and by 'new stuff' I don't mean 'bigger house'). My biggest problem with this game - and the reason I wasn't too thrilled to hear about VF3 - is there's precious little to do in VF compared with VV.

I do understand that VF2 had far more features and customization options than VF1, and I expect VF3 will have more, so I'll try the demo and see what's new. But, well, VV has lots of little peeps in a village where you could expand, learn how to build new things and keep developing your village and learning more about Isola.

VF, on the other hand (again, speaking for VF1 and 2; I could be completely wrong about VF3) has the same people in the same house doing a whole lot of nothing, and once the last kid moves out, you're stuck with with the same two people and more or less marking time until one of them dies and you can get on with the next generation, especially in later generations. There's no real point to anything.

Example: Why level up a villager to become a Master Researcher?
Answer: Well, because they generate far more tech points than non-Masters, which enables you to expand your village with new buildings, new crops, new forms of medicine; heck, new everything. Also, some problems can only be solved by Master Researchers (or Master Builders/Farmers), yet I've never found anything in either of the VF games which says, "Only someone at the top of the Workshop career can pick the lock on this door!"

Why make your VF peep top of their career?
Well, because you get a nice shiny virtual trophy. And...um...well, that's about it, really.

Revamping the house in VF2 was an interesting concept, but it added nothing at all to the gameplay. At first I thought it would be more of a challenge - you can't have kids until you've repaired a room for them to sleep in, for example - but nope. I had six kids on my first family who slept in beds dotted all over the place. It was just a scaled up version of "Repair the floors" in VF1.

In spite of all that, I am curious about VF3, so I'll probably get the demo. Whether I shell out for the full game depends on what that demo's like
