- repetitive gameplay, not as fun, too standard, graphics sometimes appear jagged, nothing wrong at all

Animal Crossing: Wild World
Reviewer: DarkZero19 July 2008- Overall 9
Overall though, Animal Crossing feels like a game that the DS was made for. While the GameCube version could only be played at home, the DS version can go with you wherever you go, so you won’t miss out on anything happening in town during the day. The online features that the GameCube version was sorely lacking add a whole new dimension to an already groundbreaking game, and makes you think that this what the creators of the game had in mind when they first brought...

Animal Crossing: Wild World (USA)
Reviewer: NTSC UK1 March 2006- Overall 9
Animal Crossing: Wild World allows gamers’ senses to soar beyond the veil of reality into an alternative mystical realm of fiction. Whether you are a fan of the previous titles or not, the wonderfully incorporated real-time system combined with the villager’s emotional-pull creates a world that has the potential to alter your sleep patterns and actually intertwine and weave its presence into your daily lives.

Reviewer: DS-x216 December 2006- Overall 8
As I have stated, Animal Crossing is what you make of it. You may find it a thoroughly enjoyable game that will lasts you for months to come (and believe me, there are many people who do so), or you may find yourself a jaded critic. There's really only one way to find out. ACWW is truly a unique game that everyone should try at least once. Read more

It depends what games you like really but if you liked the first animal crossing you will definitely like this. This game has the best online mode on ds at the moment, if you like games like the sims and harvest moon you will enjoy animal crossing. If you like your game to have a conclusion this is probably one to avoid but i can safely say this is one of the top 10 ds titles out at the moment and if you have the time it becomes a very absorbing game.

i normally don't like games because they are annoying and when you cant get past a level its annoying. but Animal Crossing: Wild World is amazing because you can just relax and talk to the animals in your town, dig up a fossil,fish or buy things at tom nooks. but there is also little tasks to do like pay you mortgage and make you town the nicest it can be. you can send letters and go to peoples town on wi-fi or with your friends, i all ways connect up with my cousin and...

"Not bad!... not bad...."
Reviewer: CNET17 January 2009- Overall 8
This game is great! There's always something to do. Always something new. BUT! It's not as great as they put it out to be. I give it **** (4 stars). But either way, it's a great game, for the mere reason that it can last a lifetime. Don't you just HATE the kind of games you can beat in a month and be done with? Read more

Love it!
Reviewer: Game Seek8 December 2006- Overall 8
I have about ten ds games, and after about a month the novelty of the game seems to wear off, well i’ve had animal crossing for three years and it’s stil my favourite. It’s really cute, you can wander aruond town catching bugs, fishing for fish, furnishing your house and collecting points, it’s set on real time so the shops have an opening and closing time. All sorts of crazy things happen, UFO’s in the sky that can be shot down, creating your own patterns for... Read more
