Great game, amazing. I liked it, I don't know about you but if you disliked it read on. You might see something good!!!
Now with the pros. Game play: 10/10 the moving furniture, the story, pets, pet shows, mini game/jobs, it's all fun. (Me, I'm a house freak so if theres a game with a house to decorate, I get all crazy .) It had my sort of game play. And as for the repetetivity? Just give yourself a bit of rest time before resuming gameplay. (Time varies among types of people) Even if it isn't all that like in the pc games, it's still fun. I believe the difficulty was JUST RIGHT for me. It wasn't long time sleeping over the DS waiting for a single person to come and be talked to because my social level was too low. Of course it wasn't a huge crowd easily talked to either. I admit I hated the entire spend ten minutes on stats thing but the pc has that too. the story line wasn't too hard and it's all fun and games. The story line's optional (sort of. It wasn't optional for me because I wanted good houses!) Secrets are another part of gameplay. =secrets if you want to find them out yourself, don't read on= It's fun to just go to the stat improving smoothie ninja! or if you want to take the phone to lunar land, that's fun too! The secret places you cant put extra furniture into! the trashcan or school bus. It's all nice and exciting!
As far as graphics go, Nintendo never seemed to have it big there. It was alright. Better yet, was sound. The endless theme song was alright by me. OF COURSE THERE WAS THE EXCRUCIATING forty second sof MAXWELL and EB Games and to begin the game? another 3 minutes of walking across a street seeing big daddy scowl at you. WOW EXCITING! *sarcasm* Could've used more work. Back to the bright side, great variety! Nice houses to choose from. Lots of different foods and choices. You can choose what kind of people you hang with: nerds, rich freaks, jocks, and of course our artists (which i just Can't seem to talk to right) You can meet the undead too! Choose your clothing then change it whenever you want! Now when you read the title you should've know there would be no zombies to shoot down or no fireballs to throw at monsters. Of course your pets make nice things. You can get a cute bunny to a fierce dragon. It doesn't bite, no really! Pet shows give money and are fun to play in except annoying stat things. (HUNGER!? sad? tired? URG!) Of course, I like my share of fun fighting too, but this is a nice game in itself. No matter what you want, I recommend this game to you. It may not have what you're looking for but it'll give you a new genre of interest. It's an amazing game overall and this is the game for a lot of people. DS is a fine handheld if you find the right games and this is one of them!
