Sim Animals on DS Wii

Sim Animals Screen Shots

Sim Animals is a Strategy game available on the DS Wii. It can be played in Thirdperson modes.

Sim Animals is a Strategy game. Strategy games provide experiences that require quick thinking, and forward planning from the gamer. They combine the unfolding tactics of classic games like chess, with more recent board games such as Risk. Usually focusing on a theatre of war context, players enjoy the tactical overview of the battle these games provide.

Sim Animals can be played in a Thirdperson mode. Third Person games view the world from over the right shoulder of the character being controlled. This enables you to see the character you are controlling as well as their surrounds. Although not as immersive as first person, third person games enable more complex moves and interactions with the environment.

The DS version takes the Wii game and lets you play on the go. While most of the features are matched the DS game is simpler, cleaner and a little less demanding.

First job is to choose your world. You are then taken through a brief tutorial about how to move about the map, interact with and unlock new animals and win medals. And you soon discover that just like other Sim games, the aim is to keep your population happy. Here though is the new challenge of working out what your furry friends need.
