Animal Crossing (DS)

When I got my Nintendo DS, one game I really wanted to try was Animal Crossing. This is a life simulation type game, which I quite like, it's not that life like though as you move into a village populated by talking animals....   The DS system with its portability, dual screen and stylus works well with this game (previously on the GameCube and now on the Wii too) as it is the sort of game that you can dip in and out of at any time.  In fact that it one of its highlights for me - the fact I can put it down!  This may sound a bit of an odd quality in a game, but I just don't have time to play an "un-put-downable" game for 6 hours at a stretch; for the ...  Read the complete review

This review is for the game Animal Crossing for the Nintendo DS and the game was produced and developed by Nintendo themselves. The game essentially involves building up your own home in a town and developing it. You start in this game by working for Tom Nook in his store, which is essentially a tutorial and introduction to the game. After working in his ever growing store for a while, you then earn enough money to start to develop your own house. You can then explore your local neighbourhood, and as long as you can afford it, you can then acquire bigger properties which you can then develop. Like most parts of the game, there are lots of different ...  Read the complete review

Hello, my name is Grym and I'm addicted to a game for children. I always feel slightly embarrassed if anyone discovers my copy of Animal Crossing, I keep it hidden at the bottom of my draw, under my more 'sophisticated' games, as a 19 year old undergraduate, this sort of thing just isn't great for my street cred you understand. But having had my first foray into the animal crossing world on the game cube, it's of little surprise that I am now hooked on the DS version. There's always the slight irritant of the great bit '3+' label on the box, but that aside, I am convinced this is a game for all ages, skill levels and attention spans. Which is why I ...  Read the complete review

I love this game. I just got the DS Lite and out of every game I have tried this one is by far my favorite. I am 33 and can honestly say that I am addicted to playing this game. I originally bought it for my 4 year old to play and was teaching him how to play it when I ultimately became all wrapped up in it myself and kind of took it hostage. My 4 year old is able to play and this is also one of his favorite games though he can't really experience the full enjoyment of the game due to his reading capabilities. I believe the genre this game is considered to be in is a simulation game though I have not really played any other games on the DS quite like it. ...  Read the complete review

Animal Crossing is a fantastic game in which i spent hours playing! the way the game is set out and the way in which you play is fantastic. You start of in a taxi going to a new city, you have several conversations with the taxi driver and end up in your new town (you name the town) once your there you are greeted at the town hall by Pelly (who works at the town hall) You get given a map and go to your home, you then start out working for Tom Nook who is a bit grumpy at times but is nice enough... once you have done your duties you have to find your own money (you have to have money to pay off your mortgage and you can buy furniture for your house etc). There ...  Read the complete review
