I loved pretending I knew what I was doing playing 1 - 5 of the original series, making accounts on WildTangent Games to use their free game tokens. Bored one day, years ago, I saw this was on the Xbox store for free and promptly downloaded it to see if it'd give me a nostalgic feeling. Nah, I couldn't operate any of the controls. I tried pressing anything, and there was no way to pick up villagers it seemed. The Island also looked underwhelming, reminding me somewhat of Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children. As I write this review I now find out there's microtransactions; at least in the PC version?! Insane, would love to see a new release from the company but not if it's going to be anything like this game.
