reception

The online database Metacritic , which collects and evaluates test reports, calculated 81 out of 100 points for the English Wii version and 82 for the DS version.

Testers described the console implementation as well done. Josh Clark of IGN wrote that while these are recognizably aimed at a younger audience, they reach them in a convincing way. The game mechanics are sufficiently simplified to allow a fast game, but there is still enough game depth. The author also described how smooth the control was as remarkable. Marcel Kleffmann from 4Players described the game mechanics of both implementations as being too simple. Therefore, they are only interesting for beginners. Eurogamer's Thomas Nickel wrote that the Wii implementation was a good example of how to port a Windows title to this console. The game impresses with its simple controls adapted to the capabilities of the Wii. The game concept was successfully reduced to the essential elements, so that the core mechanics of the settlement structure known from the main game remain in place despite the hardware restrictions.
