Animal Crossing makes a return on the DS. Can two screens handle the excitement?
I played Mario Kart while patiently waiting the week out for the true reason I bought a DS. When Animal Crossing came in, I bought it and began my new city "Kingland" on my new handheld.
First of all, the game looks just like the NGC version and somewhat better. When I was being driven to the city in the Taxi, I could tell that the graphics seemed to of had more time and detail put into them. I liked it.
I hadn't really read up on the game at all, so I had no idea what to expect when I arrived in my new city. I knew Tom Nook would be back (who could replace him?) and sure enough he greeted me as soon as I got out of the cab.
I played around with the control pad for a bit, but I felt I really should use the stylus and see how they wanted me to play the game. I was surprised when I realized how easy, and great the control was with the stylus and now it's all I need.
The game was quick to get into because of my experiance with the NGC version, and I enjoyed all the new additions that I started to see. I couldn't wait to try the WI-FI, as that was one reason why I wanted the game. At first I was a little dissapointed that I couldn't easily visit anybody's town, but I actually have friends who also own the game... so I knew I would have cities to visit.
So, now that I am about three weeks into the game I am still enjoying it. I have visited cities, and upgraded my house and things just keep getting better and better. I really like this game.
On a side note, Pudge who was the first resident I met in my NGC version also happened to be the first resident I met in the DS version. NICE! That just brought back a little bit of memories, and makes me appreciate the game more.
So if you've played the NGC version to death, like myself and are don't know if you'd enjoy the DS version I say put those fears aside and buy it! You will not regret the pruchase, as the game is a lot of what we enjoyed the first time around and then more of what we will enjoy in the future. Check it out!
That's my review of Animal Crossing : Wild World. A reason to purchase the DS, and well worth it!
