Tomodachi Life for Nintendo 3DS review

A weird yet fun game.

As our first taste of this series in the West, we didn't know what to expect. Many people compared it to Animal Crossing. Both are very different. This is more a mobile app than an actual game. Yet it is a quality title.
Premise
Basically, you are the viewer of an island and its residents. You create Miis of people and watch them interact with them. Watch as the island grows and as your Miis grow as families.
Presentation
The presentation is solid. The graphics and controls are good. The Miis and their apartments are very well-crafted.
Gameplay
This is what the game is all about. You go and check Miis with a problem in their apartment. From there, you can play a little minigame. The minigames are too simplistic for my taste. Have all the weird relationships you want!
Humor
The humor makes it one of the weirdest games I have ever played. When they crack jokes, they are very odd. Take for example the dreams. In what universe would you hail a Virtual Boy or a Cracker? I don't know.
Verdict
This game, even with its odd humor, is still a good game. Please buy Tomodachi Life.


Final Rating: 8/10
