Not as great as the first one.
It is exiting to have a small village right their on your DS, but they cut out alot of great things from the first one. Halloween doesnt exist anymore. They also added stuff to, Like watering your garden, which helps pass the time. Hair stylist is in this game. You still can fish and net bugs. You also can have a timer and a slingshot! You dont have to wear that viking helmet, (I actually preffer that helmet). You still can design and buy hats and masks. However, if you are going to play or buy an animal crossing game, get the first one, or get the new one, city folk, which I want to play. Gyroids are still available, and you still get mail. If youve played the first one, try this one, you might like it more than I did, it wasnt a bad game, but not as good as the first one.
