I was one of the many that got AC on the GameCube on it's release date, and played it constantly. Something so addicting about it that keeps you coming back that you can't explain, a small charm that games such as Harvest Moon and The Sims have that you can't put your finger on.

Animal Crossing was a great game, and it gets a great adaptation on the DS. There are a huge set of changes for the better, that makes the game run and flow just that much better.

It can be little things, such as when selling to Nook or sending mail at the post office, you no longer have to do each item one at a time. Now, you can drag and drop the size of your inventory. Or larger things, such as fishing not having as automatic as a feel. The fish are more erratic and random, following no seemingly set pattern, and it makes fishing that much more tougher, and enjoyable.

The real biggest thing, is that there is not a downgrade to be seen. Everything is improved upon in some way.

This game is great for people who loved the original AC, and also great for people who have never experienced the addiction of AC. A great buy.
