Overall , its a very addictive (and great!) game! Do NOT think of this as some stupid port.
In ACWW its not that at all, infact, its got ALOT more.
First you start off coming to your made up town, with a made up name..with a beautiful house..and a beautiful wife. Well actually you have no wife..and it isnt a beautiful house. (Yet)
You will start off with a Candle, layed on top of a Cardboard Box, along with a Tape Deck which you can add tunes to later.You wont be stuck with this crummy little place for long! Just simply help people, make money to get some furniture, But you need more space. Ah,well Tom Nook wants you to pay off a mortgage, do that, he makes your house bigger (along with a roof colour of your choice, Ching Ching!)
Then if you want you house even BIGGER, you have to pay off a BIGGER mortgage. Then you can carry on doing this until you get a Mansion! The Mansion is about as big as a normal house in real-life, but a normal house in ACWW is like a small hut.
Every town gets different neighbours (which have very interesting personalities), for instance in my town of Nirvana, is a guy called Lobo and has a very grumpy personality. Then i went to my friends town and noticed that his town doesnt have a guy called Lobo at all!
You will probably start off by fishing, bug-catching, woodcutting and digging.
These are useful since they can be used for special events in the game, and it can get you quite alot of money.
The items in the game are very cool also (even thought i hate it when Nintendo has to feature another one of there characters) Arwings, Triforce, Master Swords, But these are quite expensive so just stick to your every-day furniture first, like Sofas, desks, wardrobers etc.
The graphics in the game are absolutely GREAT for a DS. Theyve put down nearly every single detail they can possibly fit in. I had this Mini-Dhurma once. I couldnt see it, so i zoomed in and i noticed these wierd looking eyes and a mustache!
The sound well..is..good? Nothing you can say really, except when it features sound from other Nintendo Games, like remember the first level on Starfox on the SNES? Well simply touch your Arwing (if you have one) and it will play a small part of it, other than the Ninty sounds, the other sounds are just plain average.
Nintendo WFC is one of the best things about this game. A maximum of 4 players can fit into someones town via. Wi-Fi, you can trade items, do competitions or just plain hang out. I highly recommend you watch out for scammers though, and do NOT leave out any furniture. Theres always some beggar who will just stand there..wait a while...whistle...then steal it.
If this happens (and youve saved your game before you go on Wi-Fi) turn off the power before they reach the town gates!
But Unfortunately unlike the GCN AC, theres no NES Games, so dont bother looking around for the NES you were playing on the GCN.
This is a VERY addictive game too. I was up until midnight to get a golden net! (No im not doing this because im a sad nerd, i was getting the net so i could express my anger and hit one of my really annoying neighbours on the back of the head with it..they moved out of town after..and i just didnt like the normal nets..)
What can i say now for the after-math..play it! Trust me, if your not into these kind of games, or not a fan of Nintendo. just rent it anyway! Believe me its quite hard to hate it, once youve played it. And besides...its better then being stuck playing with some virtual dogs. Not that i dont like the game, its just well...this is better.
