Thursday, July 16th, 2009

The interesting game of Sim Animals on DS is all about looking after plants and animals present in your area in the forest. After completely taking care of the requirements of every species in your area and completing all the tasks, you unlock the next level.

You are required to water the plants on a regular basis and you will be prompted to do this with the help of an icon that appears. You can hold your stylus above the water body to conjure up rain clouds and this will take care of plant watering. When you complete two thirds of your level in Sim Animals DS, you will be able to hold your stylus a bit longer over the water bodies to create storm clouds. Storm clouds are accompanied by powerful lightning which can be effectively used to destroy rubbish piles and decayed plants.

Holding the L and R or by shaking plants, you can harvest food. After crossing a third of the level, it is possible for you to produce wind by just blowing into the DS microphone. Interestingly, you can view the level of happiness of the animals from the menu which also gives other information regarding their place of living, name and gender. At maximum happiness level, animals will be able to breed off springs.

You as a player are always kept busy with plenty of work to do including transporting plants and animals to different levels. Including bears and squirrels, there are at least 17 animal species with different appetite levels. This Nintendo DS game is interesting enough to be played not only by children but adults too. Navigation is a simple enough process which is possible using the stylus or D-pad.

The Littlest Pet Shop - Winter (DS) is a game that has been developed for the Nintendo DS. The audience that is being targeted in the game is a very young one and the pets that you start breeding in the game will come to life. The motto behind playing the game is to gain adoption of all the different types of animals available, which are around 20 in number. They have to be kept happy and have to be played games with. They travel to distinct worlds and the gamer has to feed the pets, as well as pet them all the time to gain their affection. The animals are small, adorable, cute and very lovable. The default settings are such that the gamer starts off with a rabbit, puppy and kitten.

The game gives the gamer leverage to name his pet and to let them travel to any world once that particular one is unlocked. The three main worlds that require unlocking are jungle, winter and a third one which you will get to know once you proceed further in the Littlest Pet Shop - Winter DS game. The games are very responsive and captivating at the same time. The kibbles have to be earned to proceed further in the game and navigation is a real delight. Mails keep coming in during the course of the game for task completion. Pets can be swapped when the B button is pressed and when the gamer touches the sign post he invariably gets transferred to distinct worlds.

Moreover, there is a career mode, where you can control the destiny of a human boxer created by you.

No matter how old you are, you will love to feed a chubby rabbit and enjoy cleaning a fat pig. Animal Paradise (Nintendo DS) takes you to a farm where all these animals are waiting for you to care for them. There is also an option to unlock new animals along with some amazing mini-games like Shampoo- Scrub and Footprint Trail.
