For instance, the classic furniture series you can collect and decorate your home with will include a classic chair, classic bookshelf, classic sofa, classic table, and etc. A theme is something that brings a certain style to your room, such as the boxing theme. You can collect the boxing mat, red corner, blue corner, sandbag, speed bag, and judge’s bell to bring a boxer’s theme to your house. You can even get your house rated by an in-game organization call the “Happy Room Academy.” The HRA will come into your home and rate your sense of style. Points can be deducted if you have some items that don’t match.
Another thing you can do is fill up your local museum. By purchasing items such as the shovel, fishing rod, or net, you can go on a hunt for some objects to put inside of your museum. When you have a shovel, you can find cracked spots in the earth to dig into to find a fossil. Present this fossil to the museum owl and he will mine it. After examined, if you don’t already have this fossil inside your museum, you have the option to donate it. Eventually, you will find all of the pieces to a fossil set, and you’ll have an entire extinct being in your fossils exhibit. You can also use your fishing rods and net to capture insects and fish to place into your museum.
While you’re out of your house and browsing around the town, you can talk to all of your neighbors. You can send letters to neighbors, as well as give and receive gifts from others, do errands for others, and socialize in each other’s homes. You will find that people are constantly moving in and out of your town every day, so make sure you don’t miss out on anything a neighbor has to offer.
Since Animal Crossing recognizes your handheld's clock, it uses it. The game changes from night and day, and even has its own events when time changes. The game knows what exactly what day and time it is. On Christmas day or on Halloween, you can receive special items and gifts from people. Since events like this happen only on holidays, it’s wise to play on those dates. Over time, your town will go through changes. Nook’s Cranny will change from a tiny hut of a shop, into a large department store. Such things as fishing tournaments and flea markets will take place weekly, so you will have new tasks to do. The seasons in the game also change. When it’s winter for you, the game will have snow all over the town.

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.
