Addicting fun... for a while anyways.
The gameplay in this game is very relaxed, so if you're not a fan of relaxed games in which almost no intense action takes place, then this game is definitely not for you. However, many people will find this style highly enjoyable and rewarding. Fishing, bug-catching, and even digging for fossils are some of the things you can do to earn cash, or donate to the museum for your viewing pleasure. The replay value is limitless, as there is always something for you to do. However, the transition between using the stylus and the directional pad can be frustrating at times, considering you have to tap the screen or a button to the change the control mode then proceed with what you wanted to do. Also, the top screen is utterly useless and could have been used better. Some may find the gameplay repetitive, and be to honest: it is. It is fun for a good amount of time before you decide to put it down and forget about it for a few days.
The graphics in this game are fairly well done, cartoony but not too blocky, with everything recognizable and not too blurry or digusting.
The music in this game may get annoying after a certain amount of time, and the weird sounds the townspeople make when you speak to them may also get on your nerves.
Overall, this game is worth checking out for the casual gamer, but it might turn off the gamer more interested in action packed gameplay due to its repetitive nature.
