Animal Crossing Wild World For Nintendo DS Review
By Shelby Cunningham
First impression: Well, when I got my DS Animal Crossing Wild World was the only game I owned for a month.. so I had to like it... And (luckily)I really really did like it! I love that you have a town that you get to run around and make friends and money and plant flowers in.
The game: Like I said, you have a town that you live in (with up to three other people in your home) and you get to name the town and move into it.
Your town has a river and a beach/shore as well as fruit trees, other people in homes, a town hall with a post office, town gates (for leaving and visiting), a museum, a clothing shop and an all-in-one shop.
First thing to do in Animal Crossing Wild World you have to go work for Tom Nook, the guy at the all-in-one shop.. which is sort of a pain.. but you can\'t get around doing it unless you never ever set foot into his shop, which is kind of hard.. I thought about never going in the second time I set up a town.. just because it\'s such a hassle to do all of his errands for him..
As far as plants and other life: I get kind of tired of weeding the town and keeping it super clean.. but if you don\'t do it, the town becomes one solid weed patch. I like how you can get fruit from other towns and plant it and have other fruit trees in your own town. You just have to get out and go to another town!
For a while I was addicted to making snowmen so that they would send me snowman presents. You just roll two snowballs around until they\'re big enough and push them together.. but if you do a bad job they get a bit upset and angry. Lately I\'ve lost my talent for making good snowmen, so I haven\'t been making as many. I wonder what spring will bring once the snow melts?
You have to make money to pay off your mortgages so you can get a bigger house and a bigger mortgage. This latest town I made I haven\'t been paying off my mortgage very fast.. but I figured it can\'t hurt anything much.
Making money! It\'s super easy! Fishing is easy, and so is fruit gathering. Or you can be the town bum and everyone will give you stuff constantly that you can sell for money.. Also digging up fossils is good.. Once you donate so many the museum gets full and if they already have a fossil you can sell it for a nice chunk of money. Or if you\'re really bored you can shake trees and smash rocks with shovels for money that might pop out..
I love getting mail, but usually it\'s pretty boring stuff unless you have other people living in your house mailing you presents and stuff. I also love giving other animal characters new catch phrases.. but just be warned that they delete/bleep any bad words you might use.. although not all of them.. Right now all of my people say \"hooty hoo\" just like the museum owl.
Changing your clothes constantly is also fun. I tend to get attached to outfits though.. Last time I had a red and orange kimono and an old fashioned space helmet and an umbrella with hearts on it.. Now i have a military uniform dress and a halo with a masquerade mask and a giant leaf umbrella. I think I\'ll stick with that one for now.
Conclusion: I give Animal Crossing Wild World a 9. There isn\'t much to be said that hasn\'t already been said about this particular game.. It\'s just a good game! Addictive and fun, even if you play too much and get burned out.. you eventually go back to it. I do wish there was an option to visit any open town.. rather than having to have a friend code.. that would be so much more fun.
