Animal Crossing on the DS is addicting!

User Rating: 9 | Animal Crossing: Wild World DS
YAY! I finally played through almost every 'Nook' and 'Cranny' so im ready to review this game! Now... Lets start! If your familar with the original Animal-crossing on the GameCube you'll understand everything about how this game works and how it plays. But if your not then let me explain. The game runs on a real time clock thats inside your DS and the game is a living breathing world in the palm of your hands! Well... The game is very much the same as the GameCube version and if you played the GC version to death, you really wont find anything new in this version, but if you want a portable version of the original GC version with a few new improvements and online play then this game is perfect for you!

I'm really into making hybrids of flowers right now. Its a really interesting and fun gimmick to the game. Basically you plant flowers near eachother and possibly the next day a new never before seen flower will bloom. The game also feels more funner to play since you can take it anywhere you go.

I really like this game. Despite the fact that i paid 2,999pesos (60$) on it i still think it was money well spent. This is one of those games that lasts for years and years to come. Especially with the newly added online feature which lets you visit your friends towns or invite your friends over to your town via the Nintendo wi-fi network. It's a really great feature and it's what really boosts this game. Although i never tried the online play yet, im really sure that it's great.

Okay let me now explain the new improvements. The new improvements i've found are:

The house now has 5 rooms that you can customize once you've fully expanded it and there's a 6th room but it's only for saving and you cant decorate that room.

You can now customize your appearance! Once you've upgraded to Nookingtons there will be a beauty parlor which will allow you to change your hairstyle. There are also hats and glasses to purchase so that your character looks unique.

The GameCubes maximum number of villagers is 12 but now in the DS version the maximum number of villagers in your town is 8.

The top screen is used for the sky. The sky has floating balloons with presents in them or on rare occasions a UFO will fly by. You can shoot them down by using the slingshot which can be purchased at Nooks.

The games looks different than the GC version cuz now the town is like a giant circle!

The game now has hybrid flowers in which you get to become a real gardener and plant flowers near eachother to create a new and rare plant.

Those are the improvements i've discovered for now.

Anyways, the game is a really great port of the GameCube version. It looks very similar to the GC version but with a slight jagged edges. I also noticed a slight slowdown whenever theres too many villagers on screen. And i also noticed that the games events happen very slowly. The events rarely occur every week and it kinda gets boring sometimes after playing this game for 5hours straight. But this game is suppose to be played only for a short period of time a day. Since everyday something new is happening in the game. This is one of the most unique and innovative games i've played. I really recommend it to every NintendoDS owner. Every DS owner should have this game! PERIOD! MUST HAVE GAME FOR THE DS!!!
