Well I havn't played this game, but I heard alot about people and read about it too, as it seems like an intresting game. When I get NGC, which will be soon, I will get this game.. as renting it wouldn't be the best of idea.
Its basically a small virtual life you will be living. In a forrest, and meeting new people, ...... you can work, and do all sorts of things in it and earn money and have a good life living in that game. When you make money, you can use the money on buying any things from the nearest shops or use it on decorting your house and making it big size wise.
You can nice to your neighbours or be rude to them. One of the examples....... fish at the pound and sell them, and make money out of it. Or if not intrested, sell the fishing rod and get some nice money from that.
Its a multi player game too, but not all players can play at once. If you are playing, you can leave messages and give your brother a treasure hunt in the village, so when he starts playing, he'll get your message and start searching for the hunt (as a mini game).
Its a pretty intresting game. Trust me.
