Looks like a kiddie game but then it is actually quiet fun.

User Rating: 10 | Animal Crossing: Wild World DS
What words come to mind when you hear the words Animal Crossing: Wild World? Childish? Silly? Not worth playing? Downright weird? Well, I would've agreed with any of those, had I not picked up the GC version and loved it instantly. The arrival of the DS version sent chills down my spine!

Animal Crossing: Wild World is something like we've never seen before. The gameplay is almost limitless and unlike Nintendogs, it actually feels like you can make something of yourself and the world around you. Thousands of choices and customizable options create the feeling that the fun is endless, and in fact, it is. Want a cozy little home with all blue furniture, a couple candles, and maybe a few of your own personal touches? Go for it, because everything's possible in this game.

One of my favorite features is the ability to customize almost your entire world. From hats to clothing to the walls in your house, visitors to your town will always be able to clearly distinguish yours apart from someone else's. You can even create welcome mats out of several patterns placed together at the Able Sisters, a clothing shop, and put them right outside your town gate!

Another excellent feature that many had been anticipating was Wi-Fi. Who wouldn't like a few visitors in their town from time to time to give them decor tips, trade furniture with, or just to chat with? Up to four players can interact in a town at once, and everything is more fun with a bunch of friends, right? You can host your own competitions, treasure hunts, and even races--be as creative as you like! There's always something to do!

All in all, this game has TONS of replay value. The prospect of your town getting weedy and disgusting is often too much for some people to handle, so even if it's just for the sake of keeping your town thriving and beautiful, you'll find yourself coming back for more. There are usually weekly events that are held in town, from the Flea Market, where villagers will sell you certain items in their house for a discounted price, to the Fishing Tourney, where you and your fellow animal neighbors will be competing for the winning trophy by trying to catch the largest fish! And since this game changes practically every day, you'll often think about what's going on in your town. Whether it's perfecting your home, making bells, (the currency in the game) fishing and digging for fossils, chatting with your animal friends, creating your own outfits, shopping for goodies, or trying to get a perfect town status, you'll definitely want to pop the game into your DS quite frequently.

Young gamers and old ones galore, this is a must-have title for everyone. It's amazingly cute, but look beyond the childish setting and graphics and you'll find a rather complex and innovative gameplay experience.
