It's different. But difference can be good. I really enjoyed the game.
But, the game is not TS3. TS3 offers complete control over your sims and it's surroundings, but this game does not.
To me, TSM is refreshing and light, it's not heavy and tiring like TS3, but I dont think the price tag justify the game. This game should be sell a little bit less than what it costs.
This review pretty much sums up the entire opinion of mine about the game:
It's not TS3. More like a mini version of The Sims + Role Playing Game + mini games.
It's not bad for a spin-off. Storyline gets more and more interesting. In my recent quest i had to kill off the leader/monarch of the country

.. but of course there are some twists involved.
So far, i give it 8.5/10.
