Might have to give this a shot when the GameCube version comes out. I liked Animal Crossing, so I may end up getting addicted to it.

No - it's vastly different actually. There are some things that are better and some that aren't as good, but it's pretty much a whole new game. I played alot of Sims on the PC and I think I'm gonna pick up the Xbox version if it's the same as the PS2 version cuz it looks like alot of fun... fun in different ways than the PC version.

I believe the X-box and Gamecube versions are supposed to be identical to the PS2 version. Maybe some graphical enhancements, but being EA I wouldn't count on it. I was going to wait for the GC version so I could use the Wavebird, but I figured I should take advantage of the trade in deal.
