 Animal Crossing: Wild World Reveiw- Great for Those Who Want To Know July 20, 2008
Wow! Let me start of by saying this is a great game. It has lots of stuff to do and something new is always happening! There are a lot of myths and legends about this game such as the "dog under the bed" legend and the "Mr.Resetti's House" myth, but before you try these cheats and stuff you find online in your game, you would be much better off by purchasing the ACTUAL GUIDE! That's right, people, there is a licenced Nintendo ACWW Guide you can buy (right here on Amazon, in fact!). I spent a WHOLE HOUR trying to get codes from gaming websites when, in fact, only THREE of them worked properly. Anyway, like all games, there are ups and downs. A few are...
Cons:
-hard to pay off more expensive mortgages.
-you only get new bugs/fish every few months.
-most stuff you sell to Nook doesn't go for that much.
-if you get a mean neighbor, there's no getting rid of him/her until they leave on their own.
-because it is in real-time, it takes a LONG TIME to get anywhere finacially in the game.
-more strict on the "enviroment of your town".
Pros:
-better graphics (in my opinion) then the first game.
-more characters/puzzles to work with.
-lots of outfit and furnishing sets to choose from.
-the "flying presents" are easier to shoot down and do not appear at random times, they are on a schedule.
-instead of a wishing well, there are shooting stars.
-better store upgrades.
-more interaction with the characters who come and go from your town.
-you don't have to go back to your house to save, you can do it anywhere in your town.
-wi-fi conection.
-not as many bugs (problems) as the first.
As you can see, there are far more pros than cons in this game than in the first version. It is a great game for any age who like life-stimulations. It is better than MySims and the Harvest Moon series in the sense it is not so repetitive. It does not have mini-games in the way that you get points, but you can run errands for items, catch and sell bugs/fish, gather fruit and plant your own orchard to sell for Bells (the ACWW currency), and enter monthly, weekly, and seasonal contests for special prizes. The graphics in this game are really smooth and easy, and I only have a problem with them every 1/10 of the time I play the game. There is a breif toutorial, but it does not tell you how to live your character's life, as how well they do in the world is up to you. Your town itself is not very big, but the more improvments you make to it determine how much you will enjoy it's size. If you don't like the way your town is, you can start over. You only have one town at a time, but up to four players can udilize it. If you still want to expand your horizons, find a friends who has the game and who's town you can visit to look in other shops, gather fruit, and meet new characters. Overall, this is an awesome game that any true gamer will appriciate for it's creativness and cartoon-like elements that are real at the same time.
This game is still fun to play and ive had it for well over a year! July 8, 2008
Ive Owned this game for over a year! and im still finding new and intresting things to do in it. Its not a fast paced game, you have to take your time and work your way around the village/get to know people/write letters etc....
I will be honest though, i didnt really get to enjoy EVERY part of the game untill i bought the "offical player Guide" you can order it here, it cost me about 15 dollars and it was well worth the money!!!!! if your a fan of this game already buy the strategy guide! (book for tips etc) The game really is adorable but i will admit it got a little bit boring sometimes but there is plenty to make up for it.
Its tuned in with the clock settings on your DS system so during game play (depending on what time your are playing) you get to see the sunrise,hot miday sun and the sunset! The best part for me was the season change. You get to go through the seasons in real time! which i just adored. It celebrates the holidays with you too. I got this game for a early christmas present, I remember being snuggled up in the fleece blanket with my dogs on my lap sitting in the living room with my family around the christmas tree and playing Animal Crossing, it was below freezing outside and while i was playing it started snowing too. Right now its summer so i have fishing, catching butterflies, pulling weeds...... LOTS TO DO! that you can only do during certin seaons.
Its a game for all ages (im 23 yr old Female) i would recommend this game especially for children because this game will keep them intrested for more then just a couple days. Also lots of stuff to do and theres not even a hint of violence in this game.
 GO ANIMAL CROSSING!!! July 3, 2008
Animal Crossing is an awesome game! There are limited activities, but there is so much you can discover. And there is always the ongoing drive to make your house humungo!
Great family gameplay! June 28, 2008
My 7-year-old daughter and I (36) are loving this game! I even went to the extent of buying another DS and a 2nd copy so that we wouldn't fight over it (and so her little sister could play her own game, too) AND use the DS-to-DS feature to visit each other's towns. She's loving writing me notes and leaving "surprises" buried around town for me to find... I'm enjoying the deeper-level "feng shui" and collecting aspects of arranging furniture and the sense of accomplishment when I pay off my mortgage (only in a game, folks!!) or take a new bug to the museum. Has a great resale/replay value (also makes a great game to buy used) because you can completely wipe old games off the card and start from scratch! I've also used the WFC cross-country, and that's a blast, too!
If you've got a DS, this is a must-have game, period.
 What the? June 11, 2008

I purchased Animal Crossing about a week ago for my eight year old child. Not only did she love it, I thought it was really cool too. What we realized after a few days of playing was that the characters are not only snarky but down right mean. I'm in shock because my daughter was just called stupid and rude for no apparent reason by one of the characters (Gwen). I've been playing the game with her because I'm very cautious about anything my daughter gets into. I noticed that at any given time, all of the characters can be petty, materialistic, rude and mean. How is this game rated E??? I don't get it. This game is not for kids who's parents teach them manors, respect for themselves and respect for others. Now.........I gave this game one star for fun because other than having to deal with the characters, this game "could" be really great. My rating of one star for overall is based on the fact that I can not ignore the blatant and hostile tone of this game. I will never reccomend it.
