Where's the rest?
Yeah, no.
The menu is simple. Choose the tutorial to get filled-in on everything that you need to do to win. Jump into a game... and do nothing that was mentioned in the tutorial.
Correction: you CAN do everything mentioned in the tutorial. You might get bored for the first minute or so while there aren't any crops to harvest on the board. However, once things start growing, the game doesn't care if the crop was your own or someone else's (with the exception of when certain animal power-ups are used), as long as you're ripping them out of the ground. So go ahead, scribble away at whatever crops you like. As long as you reap what everyone else sows, you'll win every time.
The concept could have been really good. A story mode would have been perfect for this game, and was honestly expected when I picked it up. Each character could have had a specialty or bonus. It wouldn't have taken long to bring the graphics from GBA-pleasant to DS-crisp. The sound wasn't even bad. But there needed to be something to tie it all together.
Sad that something that looked like it could be so addictive would end up being so bland. There was a lot of potential in this game; sadly, it was all wasted.
