Animal crossing... a BIG surprise!

User Rating: 8.7 | Animal Crossing: Wild World DS
Animal crossing for me was a surprise with the game play. I first expected it to be like Harvest moon, as that’s what my friend told me. Although, when I loaded up the game and had played for more than an hour, I realised this was a NEW game! And then… I realised this is a sequel. If you are considering playing this game, do! Although be aware that to get the best out of it, you need to play for at least an hour a day! With the real time feature that can be seen as a con or a pro in this game, and the lovable yet unrealistic characters that you befriend in this game it is definitely best to check back every day. The graphics I thought were one of the down sides, and the worst was the way the touch screen doesn’t help you, it actually is best to keep the stylus tucked away for most of your game play. I also found it hard to position your character for the small tasks like watering and fishing. These down sides are tiny, compared to my favourite part of this game, the WFC, allowing you to visit friend’s towns. This is definitely the best factor, as once you have your mortgage paid off, and most things done to 100% the only thing left to do is show it off!

Overall this game takes a long time to completely finish, without cheating. And once you’ve done so there isn’t much else to do unless you have the internet. But, the ever changing world of Animal crossing: Wild world mixed with the awesome WiFi Connection makes this a big hit with me, a must play if you will! If you have it, or are thinking about it, enjoy!!
