This is your second life....maybe even your new one....
The graphics are as good as they can get. You can tell what everything is, and everything does not look like blocks. The environments is amazing, everything from the houses and oceans, to the Leaves on the tree's. The levels (different maps) are so big and well done, there is always something to do.
In this game you can dig up fossils, buy and trade, link with friends to visit one anothers town, Catch fish and bugs, buy a GIANT array of furniture and gadgets, sell anything, and much much much more....
The sound is awesome, loud and upright, and you can hear everything from you walking on the ground, to the ocean hitting the shores.
This game never gets boring, and there is never a dull moment. There are different holidays built into the game, so when you least expect it, you get a message saying there is either a flea market, fishing tournament, etc. Also, people may move in and leave your town whenever they feel like it, and sometimes, strange people will come into your town and try to sell you a rare item, move in, give you good luck, etc.
This game is to hard to describe, there is so much to do and see in this game, you will have to play it for yourself......ANIMAL CROSSING RULES!!!!!!
Also.....on a better note, this game was better than the game cube version.......................................................................................................
