my wife and I be fan of the original Animal crossing on the gc . we be so hooked on that game ! lol Well she and I purchase the d version a few day ago . she and I be hook on that one too ! lol I have log a good 15 hr so far in just a few day on it . and my wife have a good number of hour log herself . = -rrb- if you enjoy the gc version , you will definitely love this one too . and for we adult out there , do not be afraid to play this game . sure it look kiddie but man it be fun ! lol but as one guy say , the fun do wear off as time go on . but believe I , you do get load of enjoyment out of this title . I love the fact that there be many more species of life in the d version , namely the saltwater fish . I catch a shark yesterday and it be too cool ! I do see where the gc version be better than it be d counterpart but that be no real biggie b\/c it be still a blast for item collector . there be once again so many thing to collect and catch and such . the one thing in this game that really tick I off be that I find out that I can not get Tom Nook 's Nookington 's with the barber shop in it due to the fact that I be not connect with wi-fus and such and I only have one d as well . I also only have a dial-up connection in my home . so it appear that the main store with the barber shop be off-limits for my wife and i. that be really really so irritating to I . hence the 2 star overall rating . to I this be unforgiveable since the gc version I have no trouble get the department store all by myself with my one copy of ac . Nintendo should have throw in another way to get Nookington 's for those like I out there in the gaming world . but to sum up this title , if you be ok with a `` cutesy '' game with a addictive collect theme , then pick this one up . it be nearly as fun as the gc version and worth a look .
