Animal Crossing 3DS / Tobidase! Doubutsu no Mori review - SPOILERS ALERT

[J0e Musashi]

Can I build a train station?

[dataDave]

Do I need to get this game? Is it great or good?

It's not really a game. More like a Farmville type thing with a f**kload more character and oozing Nintendo charm.

It's something you'd mess around with on commutes, during work breaks, and before sleeping.

[Brad]

Yep. You play this game alongside something else. with the DS game I played for 3 or 4 ten minute sessions a day generally.

[J0e Musashi]

Will everyone stop "playing" it next week though? I don't want to buy it and then nobody comes and hangs around by my bins.

[Briareos]

I'll have my gates open at random times through the weekend if anyone wants to drop by and start their own bamboo forest like mine..

I like the sound of a few Bamboo trees, i'll try and pop in to drop off a Peach.

[BIG EDD]

I've just orderd it but never played a animal crossing title I'm I in for a tough time or is it easy to play and evolve through the game?

[Brad]

haha! Yeah there's some really tough boss battles mate.

You are told how to do everything in the game. You can just do what you want. It's just a little life simulator; a bit of fun. Nothing heavy. Until you decide that you want to catch every bug and fish, 100% populate the museum etc.

That means total addiction then and ignore the mrs,family and life then?

[Brad]

Yes!
Not as bad as it seems IMO because whilst you can potter about for hours in reality I find that I go on, get the new fruit that's grown, search the beach, dig up new fossils, cash it all in, spend dosh on new haircut, t-shirt, wallpaper etc. and then put it back down. If you spend hours at a time on it it can become a grind.

I've been playing it since last year, although my addiction broke after the 4 month mark of playing anywhere between 10 minutes and 3 hours day. I have the DL version so I don't even have to worry about changing carts

Briareos (and everyone else):
My village fruit is apples, I also have oranges, cherries, mangoes, lemons, pears, peaches, lychees, dorian, bananas and coconuts. I do have some PERFECT apples, which will only grow in villages where apples are native fruit (I've tried with perfect peaches from MrSands). Selling a perfect apple in other villages gets you something stupid like 6000 bells a piece.

Peeps, don't be greedy though. Leave some for the next person and always drop some of your own fruit when you come to visit someone else's village, it's only polite.

[J0e Musashi]

So between this and MH3U, I'm pretty much set. Sounds good.

[speedlolita]

I want this.

I want this hard.

If Sainsburys have it I won't be able to resist I think...

Fingers crossed then!

[Dogg Thang]

I got it! Not opening it until later though. It's my reward for getting through today's to-do list. Just like when I got Prowl for doing exams back in the day...

[Lebowski]

Tesco came through ?25 with ?5 pre-order code and its delivered on release day, its sat at home but i cant play it till fathers day though

[Briareos]

Right, idiot question incoming!

I've never exchanged friend codes on the 3ds, all the codes everyone is talking about, are they the 3ds friend code or a game friend code? Is it the usual story of we both have to add each other and then we can go to each other's villages?

Side note: I got a perfect peach! But I sold it as I didn't know what I had. Can I plant trees without a watering can?
