Screw the Sims when we have this!
Gameplay- For the most part its really well, the touch screen controls are alright. Sometimes its difficult to throw the fishing rod in the right spot, or most importantly catch bugs especially without the 'GCN' Slowdown. Nothing very big thats wrong, its just those few little things can get frusterating.
Graphics- Very nice, I dont have much to say other than they are very nice. The only problem is walking around in the town can get quite dizzy if your not use to it. Other than that, enjoy the colorful, yet creatice graphics.
Sound- The sound keeps you going, which is why sound is in a game in the first place.
Value- This game can keep you going for months, if not years.
Its a cool game, i love the fact that there are so many accesories. I do think there should be more creativity as in making your own music, maybe having your own 'shop' type thing, or even making your own products (as in choosing from an array of models and then adding textures). I do frown upon the absent of NES games; though I fully understand why they couldnt incorporate it. Anyway, this is still VERY impressive for a DS game, considering ALL that stuff packed into a very small and compact DS game. Great for on the go, plant some apples, talk to a neighbor, check out nooks shop and turn it off. This is a great sim game for the DS. There are many itty bitty faults that add up, which prevent it from being a greater game. This is still a must have if you have a DS. The multiplayer also adds much replay value.
