This game is a winner, it's charming characters and colorful fruit is enough to charm even the dullest of people. Although some may say there is no point in this game, seeing as there is no levels, it isn't true- It's great fun running around shaking trees and designing clothes, making money and more! It's bit like the Sims, I suppose, except more relaxed, seeing as your character doesn't get hungry. But sometimes, if you are on the game for a long time, your character may fall over or stumble, this means you need sit him/her down. Overall, a nice "optional game" if you have platform games as well, it's soothing to have a breather from them and go on this!… Expand

i play this game everyday!! yeah should sometimes it gets boring but it the best games invented!!!

I love this game. Both my children play too, we love the fun of just fishing & harvesting fruit, collecting fossils and growing flowers. A great game that is not understood until you've played a while and then you get totally hooked.

Simply astonishing! Indeed a great game and worth every pound spent!

A great overall game. Buy it.

Morally I’m not sure I can recommend this game to anyone. It is psychologically addictive. It is also good fun but it should not be you are doing nothing. Like other games of this type (e.g. The Sims) once you stop you do notice that you were not having as much fun as you thought you were.

This game is cool at first but easily gets boring. Once you've played it for a year you hate it and it's so hard that you just have to build a new town because you can't be bothered carrying on. Sorry but unless your dedicated you'll hate it.

I really enjoy playing on Animal Crossing but I do think that we should be able to actually speak our mind in a nice way obv.... I think its lacking with speech!

All townspeople feature different attitudes, many being peppy and nice, some cranky and rude, just like in real life. Resetti, the crank referred to in another comment, scolds players who cheat by not saving their progress, and encourages them to accept the bad things in life along with the good. And his GRAMMAR is fine. (He NEVER calls anybody stupid, that was total fabrication. Dialog transcripts are available online.) With zero violence and a strong focus on friendship-building, I would highly recommend this game for any child. Especially 8 year olds.… Expand

This was an awesome game! I just love it! I play it every single day. It might be a bit expensive, but it's definatley worth it!

This game is very fun, I liked, I play sometimes and is exciting!

Another RPG which can get old pretty quickly. Concept is very cute and fun. Can make it more exciting by playing various characters but gameplay the same nonetheless.

this is a great game not only dose it improve the origenal vertion but it has nintendo wifi conection so you can viseit people and friends all over the world and you can finnaly use nintendos chat option it's a great game i give it a 10.

it is an awsem game it has better graphis then the animal crossing on the game cube! It is an awsome game.

Not what I would call rated E for everyone. If you power down before saving the game, this little man comes out and berates you on and on for minutes, calling you "Stupid" and using lousy grammer. Not what my 8 year old needs to be listening to.

I've played alot of games in my life. And they're usually good ones,at that. But Mario Kart DS is one of the best. Anyone who has a DS who can afford should buy thil game. Even Non-racer fans.

Great Handheld game but not much different than the gamecube version. I played out the gamecube version and this isn't much different. Local wireless works really well.

I beat the Gamecube version and im playing this one now. It is very simliar with a couple new things, but its worth buying. The Wi-Fi is very good and its fun to axe other people's trees down from around the world.

For sure better than the GC version. I think this is because of the great multiplayer gaming. Get this game!

This is a very fun game, if you want to kill some time. Or put on some headphones and doze off during your afternoon nap to its melodious tunes. This is a very simple, yet long game. Time goes by in Real Time; 1hr in game = 1hr of your life.

Not for fast-pace action lovers, but definitely for you rpg/harvestmoon fans! this should not be your only game, as it is easily outplayed after more than an hour or two. there's also no storyline.

one of the best ds games ive ever seen to date. i'm hoping for a sequel.

A great game all around. While some people may find it boring, it has a certain addictive factor that keeps you playing for a while, and although it might not be the best choice if you're looking for a solid Wi-Fi game (see: Tetris DS, Mario Kart DS for Wi-Fi), still a lot of fun.

This game doesn't have a main point. The only thing you try to work for is earning money for your mortgage which does get boring. But lucky for me my brother has a DS and his own Animal Crssing so I have someone to connect with. I would recomend this game for new DS users because they take it very slow and it is easy yet fun to play.

That is the best game ever! they should really make a second part only with better items and more new events.

It's a fine port of the original, and I highly recommend it to anybody who didn't enjoy it then. But those who did will probably feel that it's all been done before. There aren't any drastic changes, just little tweaks that make it feel more like an expansion than a true sequel. Hopefully the Wii AC will be more fresh.

The most addicting game ever... makes me wanna get the first AC, plus now I can't wait for the Wii version.

This is a multiplayer game, and sadly not many people own a nds in my area, so I cant unlock some stuff or get certain items unless I buy another ds. But other than that the game is nice, but just a wee bit too long. Since it runs in real time, I guess you have to play it for one year to 'witness' everything, perhaps?

Great for a while....but i lost interest after about 4 months.

Stunning. My favourite DS game, You'll be playing it for years, up to 6 months at a time. Every day is a unique expierence. For a full review, go to the metacritic page for the wii version, and look for my review, as the two games are pretty much the same. P.S: The wii version is critically UNDER-RATED. It may be a simaler game to the DS version, but that's what makes it great.

Animal crossing is a spectacular game with many surprises. I never know when something will just, well, happen! I am practically addicted to this game now that I have a mansion, I just wish that Nook's Cranny would upgrade faster.

This game is so much fun! I love to check the stores and go shopping. Decorating your house is fun, too!

one word..overrated. everyone seems to like to the simple things this game portrays-like fishing, collecting turnips, bug catching, and socializing with your neighbors. the world in animal crossing ww is very limited, it's like taking care of a tamagochi except it doesnt die. lastly there are soo many items in the game, and most are for just decorations to be rated. but it's fun if you dont think outside the game. lastly i think the creators made this game so people who bought the game with their hard earned cash will want to try to beat an endless usatisfied game and those who haven't used a cheat code will play endlessly into this repetitive game. This game did make me realize how much they pull in the gamers, you will see a different view of the game if you use cheat codes. ps the resetti will make you hate the creators of the game, feels like they just insulted my freedom to use the game.… Expand

this game is the best. ive had it for about 3 years and have hardly ever stopped playing it. and for all the people wh sed it is sad it really aint. it is amazing and there is always something to do.

I love this game! It's amazing fun and there is so much to do. I started playing it when I was at my friends house one day, she had it and I started playing it. I got really into it, I was playing it for hours, she ended up getting annoyed because that was all I wanted to do. She let me borrow it and me and my friend Liam (who lived up the road from me) were obsessed with it, we kept trying to get Mint to fancey Liam's character lol! I ended up getting the game, then Liam got it too. At times once you've played it for ages (I've been playing it for 3 years) it gets boring and you stop playing it for a while, then you get obseesed with it again. I will admit that the Wii version (Lets Go to the City) is slightly better (for me anyway), but Animal Crossing is the best game of all time!… Expand

Omg!!! This game made like all my friends family buy it they all love it encluding me ...sure sometimes you might not have something to do ...but thats just telling you you need to have a little break...when you come back theres alwase something to do :D

I loved the game! Sure trying to get the big house took forever, but whenever one of my friends talked about how they cheated to get the big house it jut made me mad, that's why I never used a code.

Not bad. But it's very great! The only problem is that it's not much events like the game cube version. Overall it's good!

for people with no lives!!! bad enough I have a ton of responsability, i am gonna take on some video game problems. plus i kinda liked the fact of the gamecube version having unlockable nes games ... this one don't. plus is boring as ever. if i had a choice, i would recommend the game cube version. or either if you have no life.

It delievered what they said they we're going to do. You have all the things Animal Crossing brought to Gamecube ina handheld. You lose NES games but gain more to the museum, more visitors and a much easier way to visit other towns. Shooting prizes out of the sky has been very profitable and having the sunset and different weather has made for a great enviorment. A must Buy for all ages.

Definitely not for everyone. It was my first DS purchase having never played the GC version, and it just doesn't do much for me. I've played a number of mmorpgs that involve amassing wealth and showing off your new gear and home to friends and strangers, so this isn't a new experience for me. The one player game may have grabbed my attention if I hadn't purchased Trauma Center and Phoenix Wright soon after. Being a professional with little time to play games, I simply didn't have the time to check in for a a virtual birthday party or to visit a stranger's town. Had this been the only game in my library for a number of weeks, I may have forced myself to find some interest in it.… Expand

This game is probably one of the best games I've ever played. I recommend this game to those of you that get stuck on levels too easily. Lucky for you, this game has none.

This game is the most best game I bought in years. For young ones and even older. 10-10 is definatlly what this game deseaves! Its so awsome go buy it today!

I never really got into Animal Crossing on GC, but I'm addicted to the DS version... it's essentially the same game, with a few minor tweaks (using the touch screen for interface functions helps streamline things a bit, and the addition of customizable constellations is nice), but it's just much better suited to the portable format than it was to a full-scale console.

Complete bore fest. Period. Yay! you get to be a guy that makes a city with animals as your population. This game must have been made while the producers were high. Not meant for the DS whatsoever.

Love it! Great graphics, sounds, and detail!

Animal Crossing for ds is the funnest game for this console because there is something new in it every day. I would reccomend this game to anyone who thinks games with fighting are too hard.

I think this game is great its so addictive an i i cant stop playing it. Id definetly give it a 10.

Animal Crossing really isn't a game. It's more of a time waster/killer. I mean for some reason, even though it gets kinda old, I still sit around and fish like crazy so I can pay off my home mortgage. This has a very high replay value, so if you liked the one on GCN (this is a tad bit different though), you'll like this one. Get it used though, I can't bare to spend $35 on it, so I paid under $25 with tax since I had a card at GameStop.… Expand

It's an excellent game to play!I highly,let me repeat,HIGHLY recommand this game for all ages.

I'm not really in to games but I really enjoyed this and have found my self addicted to it.

Awesome game... it'll keep you coming back, even after you put it down for a few months! you'll find yourself wondering "whatever happened to old what's his name?!" Great Wifi fun, really good stuff here! Give it a chance!

Such a Great game. I might warn you though, IT'S VERY ADDICTIVE. It's such a fun game to play a recommend it to everyone.

This is the most addictive game ever!!! It is so fun and there is always something to do or explore ... I have been on my friends game and now ordered it from e-bay ... It is worth buying if you like simulations (Try to find it cheaper than £29.99 though you could get a real bargin!

I absolutely LOVE this game! But if they make a third one they should give you the choice to euther type talk to your friends or let the DS do the talking for you! There should also be more cheats and lots of new fish and bugs. You should also be able to have the choice of making your add ons larger or going to the next add on! They should also give you lots of new visitors and characters. Just a couple suggestions! Please value them!… Expand

Amazing game. You will never get sick of it, or ever sell it. Absoultly amazing game. There is always something to do.

Its a great game but it is really slow on getting new characters.

This game is fun and gives me something to do. I also believe that it can teach a life lesson and it is quite educational. Rock on Animal Crossing!

Wild World was a good installment for the DS, Awesome new items and a bigger house. I was highly disssapointed in not being able to do chores for your villagers. Also you actually have to SHARE a house with the other characters? But then again you'll probably not let anyone else touch your game since you are having so much fun

yawn...what a dull game. Sure on line kinda is fun and the graphical scrol is good but at the end of the day if arranging flowers and stones to win goodies is your thang then jump in. You know your sad if you go to the animal crossing ub fri night at 8.30 though..

Very fun game there's more to discover each day.Get's kids ready for the real world

Just a superb game that is going to last for years. It combines the best of its console counterpart with portability and global communication.

This game is pure fun! I love how you get to buy stuff advance in levels and all that jazz. This is just a great game ALL around!

this game is awesome. its like a little life in the palm of your hand.

It's a very good game, but it doesn't have a lot of action.

Quickly became boring when I realized there really wasn't that much to do. After awhile I messed with the clock on my DS to manipulate the seasons which became less colorful as fall and winter came around. Even playing with a friend didn't capture my interest. Ugh. But a heck of a lot better than the game 'Deal or No Deal'. What was I thinking??

This is a very good game, with a fun free style ability to it.....................................................................macs forever! … Expand

Best if played with a friend, and the more you have on here the more you will play. Colorful and cute, this game is well animated and easy to learn to play. There are tons of things to unlock, as well as items to obtain. It will keep you busy, but don't leave for too long or accidentally turn the power off without saving. They get mad at you and it is oddly funny when they do.

I wouldn't call this game fun but I guess it's ok.

Animal Crossing: Wild World is the first installment on the DS to use Nintendo WFC, the funnest aspect of the game as a whole. Pros: It's Animal Crossing in the palm of your hands; Nintendo WFC makes for fantastic multi-player mode; as addictive as ever. Cons: Eliminates a lot of the best aspects from the Gamecube version, such as features, scenery, and the playable NES titles.

BEST game ever !

Animal Crossing: Wild World is as addictive as ever now that it's in the palm of your hands. Pros: Lots to do, items to collect, and extras/secrets to unlock; Nintendo WFC makes for fantastic multiplayer value; ridiculously charming visuals; funny dialogue. Cons: It's missing a lot of valuable features from the GCN game, such as NES games.

This game is centred around taking your time. If you don't have too much time on your hands (like me), this game isn't for you. However, after playing this game for a while I found that someone with a lot of time (and an unhealthy habit of falling in love with video game characters, literally; this game encourages you to write love letters and poems to animals, not to mention some of the male animals commenting on themselve having a groin cramp)this. game is infact quite enjoyable. Bottom line: no violence, no fast paced action; only for casual gamers… Expand

I love this game a lot, but what really ruins it for me is if you don't save before turning off your DS.... THIS F****** MOLE STARTS SWEARING AT YOU FOR LIKE 3 HOURS! It ruins the whole tone of the game! it sucks!

absolutly amazing gameplay, even if youfind it hard to know what 2 do, its just way too open, lika minecraft, but other than that,ala awesome (did i use ala props?) 95%

So cute, original characters. It is inevitable that the Nintendo team has put years of hard effort in it to make this such a great breakthrough. Very addictive, and you become very engaged with the little lives of the little residents of your town. Very charming. Probably the best Animal Crossing game of them all.

A fun game, with a long lifetime considering how the game changes over time with the ingame clock. What it lacks though is content. The world is very, very small, but the regular events, large amount of items and neighbours, and other random occurring stuff keeps it interesting. The co-op play is quite fun aswell.
