To tell you the truth, I don’t feel like Animal Crossing: Wild World is a video game. To me, it’s more of a hangout. It’s a fantasy world you can go to, to escape from reality... especially if you enjoy collecting furniture and planting pear trees. Wild World takes you away from your dull and boring life, to an alternate world full of cute animal characters with massive heads. While you have your own situations in life, so does Animal Crossing.
Having not played the original Animal Crossing game for the Gamecube, I decided to pick this game up for the Nintendo DS and enjoy it anywhere. When I first started the game, I found myself in a car with some pirate-speaking animal named Kapp’n. I had to go through a series of questions so the game could determine what kind of person I was and what kind of town I wanted to live in. Once I was finished with the questions, I arrived in my town to meet a raccoon named Tom Nook, who owned a shop called Nook’s Cranny. Tom Nook gives you a home as well as a job. The job that Tom Nook gives you serves as a way of learning about the Animal Crossing universe. Eventually you will gain enough money from selling items to pay Tom Nook back for buying you a home.
Once you pay off your house, you are free from work and Tom Nook’s shop. After I paid off my house, I had no idea what to do. In fact, I didn’t think there was anything else to do. Wild Word doesn’t give you certain tasks, so it’s up to you to decide what you must do. What is there to do?
Well, one thing you can do is customize your home. You can buy wallpaper, flooring, and furniture. Objects you can buy can be as basic as a sofa, bookshelf, or chair, but you can also buy some unusual objects such as a space station, merry-go-round, or ship cannon. Each furniture item has its own series or theme that all match.

Animal Crossing Is The Best Nintendo DS Game I've Got!!! My Friend Has Gone Off It But I Think Its Just Being In The Game With The Fishing, Digging, Collecting, Weeding (sigh :( ). Some People On The Game Can Be Ignorant Like Limberg, Others Friendly Like Bunnie And Others Obsessed With Their Muscles And Abs! From Me A Gaming Judge (I Name Myself Lol) A Massive 100/100!!!

I love Animal Crossing. I first got it three years ago and I didn't have a clue what to do on it so after a couple of weeks i planned to sell it. But I never and if I had i would have missed out on so much. Im living in a town called Penshaw and its so cute my town. It has cute people in, loads of flowers and all types of fruit. Some people have a cheatig device called action replay, but I would never buy it because 3 of my friends have it and they say it spoils your game so they got rid of it.

When the first Animal Crossing game came out (for the Gamecube) I was addicted like a fat kid was addicted to ice cream. It was a fun, creative, and all-out cute game. It was very realistic, and it was similar to a 'animal-version' way of life. You had to pay off a mortgage, solve problems, events, friends, etc.
Then when I bought the DS version, it was like a flash from the past. It was just as good, if not better, than the first. More features, clothes, stores, events, etc. I'm sad, however, that some of the events from the GC version were not transferred over, however all the new features make up for it.
I have to agree with you on the stylus, however. Using the stylus to move about is flat-out annoying at most times, and it doesn't help when you're trying to fish, catch bugs, or not kill innocent flowers.
Thank you for the great review. You have this down to a science.

Animal crossing is my favourite game I play it like everyday. The annoying thing about it is Resetti my ds gets stuck sometimes so resetti comes. I got animal crossing about 1 year ago and I have met so many animals
I payed off all my mortgage except it took forever, luckely I found a cheat it helped alot. My best friends are Lucy, Nan, Melba, bluebear and truffles. Some of them have left but anyway I meet new friends along the way.
