Summary: 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 like game, it is cartoonish, but very good (and I don't prefer cartoons).
At first, it is really fun, and as the title indicates, probably too fun. You're playing all the time, it almost takes over your life. Then, after a while, you get a new game, and it's easy to forget about that game that is repetitive. Then, awhile later, you start playing like a maniac again.
The controls are extremely easy, limited to the A and B buttons (unless you want to get advanced). You can also use the DS touch screen whose controls are easy to use when you get used to them, but I prefer the buttons.
I really love that it is in real time, it kind of gives it a fun flair in my opinion. Unlike the Sims, it actually has real seconds and minutes, not abnormally fast ones. The bugs and fish in the game are also real fish, and in your "wildlife journal" for lack of better terms, you get short descriptions of them, which is slightly educational. The animals also come out at times you would actually find them.
The music gets repetitive if you play it at the same time of day every day. It changes every hour or two to go with the time of day, but that makes almost no difference.
Also, once you do everything you can (which, I haven't done yet) I does get boring. The best part of the game is expanding your house, and when you finish that, life gets boring. There are some secrets which I won't reveal (some I haven't figured out) but do make the game a little better.
The events that occur every so often give the game a little more excitement. Events such as the bug catching contest, the fishing tourney, flea market day, etc. make it more fun. You can also dig up stuff, shoot stuff out of the sky and talk with the animal residents, hence the name.
Overall, though, the game is quite fun, especially if you knowother residents. Perhaps they should not have made this game as addicting as it is but overall, I would reccomend Animal Crossing Wild World.
