I regret spending every one of my 3,000 pennies on this game for the DS. This was back when I enjoyed collecting some Nintendo magazines, and they were constantly praising it for its ubiquitous addiction and fun - and how it's one of the DS's best games. I bought it out of good faith, and I regretted it ever since. The amount of crap I give to FFXIII, at least that game was worth some of the money, but nowhere near the full price I paid for it. Animal Crossing however, deserved not a single penny from me.
Maybe I'm being unfair towards this game. True, it may just definitely not be my cup of tea, much like Nintendogs. It doesn't excuse the fact that I still bought it, played it and found it to be a disheartening waste of money. There was barely a single thing about that game I found enjoyable, or can't find any reasons to complain about, except maybe for the cute anthropomorphic animals bar the damn mole. That mole just made me wish I had an option of slamming my spade over his head, the moment he decided to pop up again to whinge at me for not saving.
Collecting bugs? Fishing? Trying to pay off ridiculous mortgages? Sorry, I don't see anything addictive in any of Animal Crossing's activities. It barely even passes as a game to me at all, just a confined little space with little houses where the player is expected to do the same thing over and over again every day - and have fun while doing so. In the end, I just decided to just annoy the townsfolk as much as I could, in hopes of getting them to leave while the town drowns in weeds.

When I get back home I might have to borrow the DS version off of my sister.
