Animal Crossing is one of the best games I've had so far! There's events going on throughout the year, so I never get bored.

In this game you can decorate your home, catch bugs or fish, join in with the events or just chat to the locals. You can also chat to friends near and far using the Wi-Fi option.

In the game, you can create up to four characters, at the moment I only have one, which means I can concentrate on that one more.

The item screen can hold up to 15 items at a time. There are other screens as well, for example there is one that shows you what fish you have caught, what bugs you have caught, a map and a couple of others. Also in the item screen, you can see what letters you are carrying, and it's quite exciting when you get a present with one, because there are so many items in Animal Crossing.

There are also many different clothes which are available for your character to wear and when the shop upgrades to the maximum you can also change the characters hair, I haven't quite got to that stage yet, but I've visited other people's shops.

You character also gets its own little house, well it's not so little once it's been upgraded, actually it's really big when you've got it to it's maximum and you can change the roofs colour.

There are two types of shops, Tom Nook's Store, which you can get nearly everything from and The Tailor's Shop, which you can get clothes from, you can also design your own tops in there as well.

The museum has to be one of the best things to begin with, because you can collect fish, paintings, bugs and dinosaur fossils to put in there.

The town hall has a few things to offer, like a recycling bin, where you can pick up things for free, I enjoy doing that because most of the time I go and sell the objects. You can also change the town tune, get feedback in the enviroment, donate bells (money), move to a different town, mail a letter, pay some of the mortgage (as your house get bigger the mortgage gets very expensive), access acount or save a letter.

In the town that you live in there are other residents and it's great when new ones come, because there are so many different characters. If you get your characters relationship high enough with another one, they will give a photo, I find collecting the photos quite fun! Of course you can't have every single character in your town, so some do move out, which I find quite sad sometimes, but if you catch them before they go, you can get them to stay if your lucky enough.

I do enjoy using the town gate, it lets you explore further into the world. When you get there you will find two gatekeepers. The one on the left is Booker and he will tell you what's new, what's lost or you can tell him you want to change the flag. On the right you will see Copper and you can tell him if you want to go out, invite guests or find out your friend code.

Going out is great if your getting bored of your own town. There are two ways of doing this, either DS to DS or using Wi-Fi, I personally use Wi-Fi because then you have more options. To go to other towns you need to get other people's friend codes, which is easily done by going to different sites, such as www.animalcrossingcommunity.com.
When you go to other towns you will find they are different to yours, and their trees contain different fruit, so what I do is ask for some fruit, take it back to my town and then plant it, then yay, I have a new fruit tree!

PACKAGING
The box has a very busy looking cover, which grabs my attention, because it makes the game look like there is a lot to do in it, which is true. The colours are bright, which gives the feel of happiness. The title is in the middle, so it's easy to see, it's also on the spine of the box, and because the title is short it can be made bigger and easier to read.

SIZE
The small box makes it very easy to store and takes up hardly any room at all. Ideal for those with limited space.

PRICE
Well worth it's money, probably could have been sold for more because it's that good and contains so much, but it's sold at the average price.
