KEY POINTS:
Herald rating: * * * *
Pros: The slick cartoon-like graphics and cutesy characters are aimed squarely at the kids but there's enough depth here to appeal to adults as well.
Cons: Some of the artificial intelligence goes a little haywire and the online multiplayer experience is limited.
Verdict: A cuddly version of The Sims where you build an ecosystem then nurture it so the lovable pinata creatures will move in - and stay.
Censor's classification: 3+
