I bought this on the game store a decade ago and finally got around to checking it out. It’s so repetitive and tedious. I don’t mind farming type games that are repetitive. Sometimes I find that calming but in this game it is brutally and endlessly repetitive and it feels like are building towards nothing.
Do you like carrying things? Because that's what 90% of this game is. You carry things to and from places to make more places to carry things to and from. Or you carry the little people called Keflings to and from places in order to make them carry things for you. It is a game about carrying. Aside from carrying, it's about resource management and building up your town. However, there's never any kind of threat, or time constraint, so you never feel any kind of urgency. The interface would have been so much quicker as a point and click/drag type of interface, running back and forth gets tedious quite quickly. It's not a terrible game, it's just that there's not a lot to it. There's some forgettable music that can get grating as you hear it loop over and over, and the visuals aren't bad for the time. The ability to use your Xbox Live avatar is a nice addition too. In the end though, it just feels like busywork.
