The Sims Medieval

Sometimes I like to play one of The Sims games. So when I read that The Sims Medieval was released yesterday, and was somewhere between a Sims game and a RPG, I was obviously interested. The only thing that stopped me from impulse-buying it was the strange release-schedule in which Europe has to wait two days longer for the game. On the upside that gives me time to read the first reviews of The Sims Medieval before I buy it. Has anyone of you already played it? Is it any good?
