I love AFM and couldn't order an AFMrLE fast enough when they were announced. In fact I sold my GBLE in a heartbeat to get it. For me I just enjoy the pace and theme of it much more than MM. However I don't agree with others who say they are so much the same game. Not really that close IMO. The layout may be similar but the shots are not the same at all and the pace is totally diffierent. if you love MM I would say you will also love AFM not as the same game but as a compliment to each other. If you don't love MM (like me) you can still have an appreciation for AFM in your collection.
