Product Description

SimAnimals for Nintendo DS, the latest Sim video game from Electronic Arts, lets you explore a vast forest of wild animals and make it your own wherever you go. With over 30 species of animals spread out in the woodlands, swamps, and more, this game will reveal secrets about the wilderness and teach you what it takes to survive in the wildlife.

Engage with Your Favorite Animals
Whether you like bears, foxes, badgers, squirrels, or owls, SimAnimals lets you touch, move, and play with them and other animals from the Northern Hemisphere. Using the stylus, you can pick an animal up and bring him to his friends, feed a bear, and touch just about everything in the forest, including trees and flowers.

Depending on how you treat the animals, they will either trust you or fear you, which in turn will affect how they evolve. How the forest ends up is up to you, but remember that you can only unlock new forest areas and explore into areas such as the swamps or castle ruins when the animals are happy. There are a total of 11 areas that need to be unlocked one at a time.

Interactive, Dynamic Environment
All of the areas in the forest are connected, and what you do in one area will cause changes to happen in another. For example, if the beavers build a dam, it will create a lake on one side of it while removing the water on the other side. This in turn can create a large amount of ducks in the lake, but plants that needed water down the river might die out. You'll have a lot of fun watching all these changes in the world occur in real time.

By blowing into the microphone, you can become the wind. You can make fruit fall off trees, spread flower blossoms, and more.

Solve Different Challenges and Discover Forest Secrets
SimAnimals provides players with different challenges to solve in order to live happily in the forest. You'll have to figure out which

I guess i'm too old for kids games but heyho!.

This game is ok. It's lots of planting seeds, watering them, they grow into trees that drop more seeds. You can see if the tree needs watering by clicking on it and looking at its water level,if its low you to the the stream and pick up water in cloud form. You can also shake a tree to make it drop it's seeds, continue shaking and the tree falls down to make a home for animals. I've been playing it on and off for about a week now, it is becoming boring though. The animals sleep at night and i found myself just looking at them asleep as there was nothing to plant or water, they only sleep for about one minute.

This is basically the game, just attracting fox, squirrels etc, planting trees. it'd very boring for a kid. I think a price of £9.99 would be the right price for this game as it's much to do about nothing but if you're like me and just wanting to fill some spare time up with something :)

very good game just too short
this game is really good fun! BUT i started it yesterday and now run out of new areas. you can still carry on playing but theres no new things except maybe new animals to attract

SimAnimals by Beth
I would recommend this game because I like animals and this game lets you look after them. I don't like it when you have all the animals together and they leave really quickly.
