Rude Animals to Return


After being dormant for a few years now the surly bunch that makes up Animal Crossing will be making a return of sorts in their kinda sequel; Animal Crossing Wild World. I remember seeing fuzzy pictures of the original game YEARS ago in EGM when it was being developed for the N64 and thought it looked unique. How right I was. The Gamecube original is like crack rock on a disc! You basically mimic life in the game through a strange looking boy or girl character in a town full of rude and sometimes obnoxious animals. You do chores for them, or just hold things for them and they'll give you items that you collect and horde in your tacky self-decorated house that you're forever paying off to the wretched Tom Nook. This time around they've added...well not too much, but still it's new so it's reason enough to play the damned thing. You now have a slingshot (hopefully you can hit the animals with it like you could do with the net in the original. now THAT was good fun!), it's in a 3d perspective, and of course, the big deal is it is online capable. It's not easy to get online accoring to EGM, but when has the internet ever been meant to be easy anyway? At any rate I've been looking forward to this pointlessly addictive game for over a year now and it may very well be reason enough to get a DS. Hopefully Target is still honoring that whole $99 debacle...
