Not as good as you'd think...
Gameplay-4/10-I personally, did not find this game all that entertaining. I of course have beat it, so I know what I'm talking about. This is fairly boring, all it is is living in a town full of animals and you're the only human. Again, like I said, boring. There are three different personalities for both male and female animals, but the problem is that they say the SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN! The main point of the game is to make friends, and pay off your house so you can enlarge it. Not very exciting at all...while they do supply holidays and festivities, the most you get out of these is a cheap souveneir. And another thing that makes my hair stand on end is that they have a house design contest that grades your house everyday, the ratings are crap, you can have the biggest house, and a bunch of stuff that fits awesomely, but you'll get a rating saying that your house looks like a warehouse...EVERYDAY! The friend system is also screwed up. You can walk up to one of your friends, and they'll swipe an item from you without your consent, and trade it for some wallpaper...yippee. There are some good points to this though, such as the ability to send mail to people, but of course, this is only limited to your town and the other possible human occupants. You can also send letters to animals in your town, but I wouldn't recomend it. This is not tip-top shape artificial intelligence. You write a perfectly conventional letter, and they'll send you one back asking what the heck you were talking about. This game definitely does not fit the cipher it was given in the commercials.
Graphics-3-Crap...wow...this is crap... I've seen better graphics in a stick animation video. They definitely could've put a lot more time into this one. Your person, looks like he/she came out of some cheap cartoon show. The main thing I'm tugging at is the people. There's one species of character, where you can't tell where the heck his eyes and his mouth are! The grapics are terrible, especially when you catch fish or bugs, it looks like a 2 year old drew the picture, and they copied it into the program to look like that. They definitely could've done a better job with this, even though it was made about a half-decade ago.
Sound-2--They couldn't have gotten any worse with the sound. The music is really crappy, it's like those horrible ring-tones from 1998, the supposed dialogue from the animals is even worse, they sound like they're just speaking jibberish that matches up with the timing with what they say. Again, some say I'm being too critical, but hey, it's nothing but the truth!
Value-4/10-The only reason this gets that high of a value is that it comes with a free memory card. Other than that, I wouldn't shove any more than twenty dollars over the counter to get this. This game may be somewhat exciting at first, but gets perpetually boring over time.
Overall-3.5-BAD BAD BAD! This game is a disgrace to nintendo! I intend on selling for 15 bucks to anyone who's dumb enough to buy it...
