Product Description
Animal Crossing goes mobile! Venture into a virtual village, where you can decorate your house, go for a spot of fishing or just shoot the breeze with your fellow animal residents!
Amazon.co.uk Review:
In a nutshell:
Start a new life on your DS with the most unlikely source of online addiction you’ve ever experienced. You’ve complete freedom to customise your home and the town around it as you socialise with the locals and your friends alike. The lowdown:
The world of Animal Crossing seems a peculiarly simple one at first: there are no levels to be beaten or bad guys to overcome, just a cheerful little village to maintain, as you water flowers, catch fish and dig for fossils. But before you know it the game has its hooks in you, as you meet friends via the Wi-Fi Network Connection to chat and compete or start playing the turnip stock market. With over 600 different pieces of furniture to collect the game has a near infinite lifetime and by running in real-time with special events all through the year you’ll find yourself checking in daily with what’s going on around town. Most exciting moment:
Winning a fishing competition against three friends and rubbing their noses in it via the online chat. Since you ask:
The first Animal Crossing game was actually released on the N64 in Japan – the GameCube version was a slightly enhanced version of this. The bottom line:
Live the life idyllic on your DS with the best use of the Wi-Fi Network Connection yet.

This game was the first that I got with my new nintendo, followed shortly by nintendogs, and I have no difficulty whatsoever in deciding which is my favourite. I absolutely LOVE animal crossing. It's not an action packed game, but that's also not what everyone wants. You start off as a little human moving into a town full of animals. You can meet all your animal neighbours, which vary from rabbits to crocodiles, and collect and sell things to Nook, the town shopkeeper. You can buy fishing rods, bug nets, slingshots and shovels, all of which help you get more items. The mortgage is HUGE - the main aim is to pay it off, but as you pay it off your house expands, so you get more space to arrange your furniture in, and also you can change the walls and floors. You can dress your character in different clothes which you buy from the clothes shop, or you can design your own clothes (actually, you design patterns. The patterns can be used on clothes, walls, floors, furniture and you can paint them on the ground), and you can write and receive letters to/from all the townsfolk.
One of the best things about it is the connection option. You can connect with friends and play in the same town as them, play hide and seek or just wander about exploring together. Up to three people can come to your town, although if your 'gate' is open anyone can come in, even if you don't know them. Luckily, if people are in your town you can make them all go very easily.
There's always something new to do in Animal Crossing. Whether it's a fishing tourney, or a flea market (when you can buy furniture from other people - no, animals' houses and they can buy it from yours) or La-di day, when everone sings and tries to make new town tunes, you can never get bored.
Animal Crossing : Wild World WOW! April 6, 2006

I know what you're thinking, why does everyone say 'WOW! Best game ever!' 'It's brilliant!' to nearly every game? Well, I think there is finally a game you can say this to- Animal Crossing: Wild World. After starting up the game, you are drove into your own town (yes, you decide the name of your town). Firstly you have to work for a jolly old racoon called Tom Nook. After delivering some items, posting some adverts and getting to know the locals, he finally lets you go. Now the game has really started! Whatever you choose to do- plant some flowers, eat some fruit, go fishing, visit the museum, chat to the neighbours or just decorate your house- I'm sure you'll enjoy the many features of Animal Crossing. Another good feature is that the game is set in real time so there are harvest festivals, fishing competitions and flower festivals- I even heard that every Saturday night in the museum's cafe, KK Slide- the local singer- gives a gig! So, now you're thinking-'What about this thing called Wi-Fi?'. Well, wi-fi lets you connect up with up to 3 other friends (you can only connect with friends which is good 'cause then a stranger can't come round stealing all your fruit or digging holes everywhere) and with your friends you can chat, trade, have fun and even parties! I fully reccomend this to everyone who owns a DS. Even older children as I am 13! Buy it now!
Amazing game June 1, 2006

I have to agree with all the other reviewers... This game is great. I bought this game for my fiancee, to see if I could get her into gaming, within hours she was hooked.... I couldn't watch over her shoulder for more than a couple of days before buying myself a copy.... We're both in our 30s, which just goes to show that this game can appeal to anyone.
I've been playing this game for several weeks now, on the train to work and back again.... I can't put it down.
It's the first of June, and suddenly I've noticed there are lots of new bugs to be caught, and also new fish... I bagged an ocean sun fish and a hammer head shark today :-)
This game is possibly the best 25 I've spent....
SUPERB !!!!! November 16, 2006

It is the best game I have ever played on, I am only 10 but I cannot get
my hands off the D.S. I have been playing on it for 5 months,and it hasn't
ever got boring for me. I LOVE the cute little animals that visit, and
leave your world. You can even catch bugs or go fishing, sometimes there
will be events to particapate in as well!
I play on it nearly every day, its definitly my favourite!!!

Animal Crossing is a game different to all other games out there. Think of the game called The SIMS, where you can do whatever you want- Animal Crossing is like that, but only 1000 times better. Go fishing, bug catching, chat to the other villagers or just hang out with your mates, thanks to Nintendo WI-FI connection. WI-FI allows you to play with anyone, anywhere in the world. Animal Crossing is a game that you just have to have. It's fantastic!
