Animal Crossing: Wild World (DS)
Reviewer: Nintendo Life12 May 2009- Overall 8
Although this game is not a sequel to the Gamecube original, I do think that players of the original will have a blast with this. Animal Crossing: Wild World is a fine example of a time consuming game. This massive game can be very addicting at times and is a great way to escape reality. Freedom is the keyword to define Wild Word, for there are no main objectives or tasks to do. Basically, you will have fun the way Nintendo wants you to. Read more

Animal Crossing: Wild World (Nintendo DS) review
Reviewer: DarkZero01 April 2009- 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
Reviewer: Gamesmonster24 February 2009In Animal Crossing DS players move into a village, buy a small house and then do whatever they want. Time and seasons pass as they do in the real world, so there will always be something unpredictable happening. Collect or buy items, talk to neighbours, go fishing, catch bugs, dig up treasure or hang out with human friends. Much of the cast of the original Animal Crossing returns, including animals of all shapes and personality types: K.K. Slider, Tom Nook, Blathers, Mr.... Read more

Animal Crossing: Wild World (DS): There's No Recession In This Town!
Reviewer: Dooyoo4 weeks ago- Overall 8
I recently bought a Nintendo DS and with it a load of games to keep me occupied; one of these games was Animal Crossing - Wild World. I had been recommended it by a male friend of mine, but didn't really know what it was about as such (bar a little insight from the advert on TV) so have been playing it for a while to see what it is all about. You start off in a taxi, where you are asked where you want to go to... I wasn't sure where to put so I hazarded a guess and said... Read more

Perhaps Too Addicting
Reviewer: ppierce365, PriceGrabber.com18 July 2007- Overall 8
I guess I will be the voice of reason on this game. I have a feeling all the previous reviews have been from people who haven't played this game for all that long. I have played Animal Crossing Wild World for almost a year now, and it has its clear advantages and disadvantages. This game has really good graphics, one of the best I have seen on the Nintendo DS, right up there with Mario Kart. The colors are crisp and fun. They are also very bright. It being a cartoonish...

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.
