You want to lose your life for 2-9 months?
Gameplay: This game will keep you occupied for a LONG time! If you played Animal Crossing for the Game Cube, you know this already! The game is basicly the old story, just in a portable form! Plus, the new feat.s make the story even fun! You now can change your hair, wear glasses and masks, plus wear different hats! To add on to all that new, you now have a HUGE selection of cloths and furniture! At least 12x more than the last time! Although, I was a little disapointed when I found out that the story was pretty much the same as last time, I was still blown away by how much they added!
For those who are new: The story is, you *state your name* are moving to *state destination*. When you get you *destination* you find that you are lacking in a few essentials when it comes to moving...first is MONEY! And second is a new house! But don't worry, its all taken care of...
ANYWAY!
Graphics: The graphics are not for those who love realism! The characters in this game are chibbis which are small, Japanese cartoon people! But even if you love graphics comeing from games like Oblivion, Doom3, and other high quality looking games; you will STILL love the graphics! Just all the colors......
Sound: The music in this game is fantastic no matter who you are! I say that because EVERY STYLE OF MUSIC IS ON HERE! You just have to know the style you want, add K.K. in front of it, and go talk to K.K. Rider on Saturdays at the Museums Coffee Shop! Its that simple! And when he gives you the music, take it back to your crib and pop it in your stereo, and you can listen to it over and over and over and over again!
Value: You buy this game for what? $35 for this? That is CHEAP for a game like this! Heck! I paid $50 for a just-out-of-the-box copy, and I could still tell you it was cheap for a game like this!
Overall, I'd have to say this is a pretty solid RPG, or MMORPG if you have WiFi. If you're looking for storyline, you'll be disapointed to find its almost the same if not exactally as the orginal Animal Crossing for the Game Cube. But with all the new items they added, it pretty much makes up for it! I recommend this game to people just getting into video gameing, people who want to have a small house party with friends and still play video games with out draging out 2-4 TV+Systems, and anyone who just wants to past time with a fun game!
The only bad I see you can use the DS's Touch Screen to do everything, but simple tasks such as walking, fishing, bug chatching, and whatever else are best left to the D-pad and the A, B, X, Y buttons. Other than the stylius neglect, I say this game uses the DS to its highest level.
