    I thought this game was Very Good. It took me around 3 months to complete. My Mate even enjoyed playing mine so much that she got her own DS so she could play the game!!! I think it was a great piece of work by the people at EA Games. THANKS !! xx

    This game was a greatt game. It was fun. I completed the first 5 missions in a few days because it was all I played. The "S" mission is hard at the end to get through the shocking bars when you are the pet. The artsies mission is hard too. This was a very good game but it was a bit to much like the GBA version. There was only one new game (The sushi one) and there were only a few newThis game was a greatt game. It was fun. I completed the first 5 missions in a few days because it was all I played. The "S" mission is hard at the end to get through the shocking bars when you are the pet. The artsies mission is hard too. This was a very good game but it was a bit to much like the GBA version. There was only one new game (The sushi one) and there were only a few new characters (Mokey, and Shannon, and Jack and a few others) and there wen't new building and not many new goals (if any). I do wish it had a wireless connection though. For a 2004 game when the DS first came out, this was a very good game.… Expand

    It is a brilliant game, but I only gave it a 9 because, a, you can only have 2 saves on it, and b, you can't link up wirelessly, which I thought could have been done quite easily, and it would have improved it a lot.

    Delivers nothing but tedious micromanagement.

    The new hardware is much more capable than what's being done here.

    Being able to control some of the action on the touch screen is a nice feature and really comes in handy. I would have liked to see more things to do with the screen though.
