First of all let me start by saying this game needs a lot of patients!! Things don't happen quickly. You can speed things up only 2x as fast as "normal" time, but is still like taking care of a real salt water fish tank. That being said, I do really like the game. You basically raise fish, sell them, make money and bye more fish and add ons for your tank. You also have to buy research for better food, advertisement and proper care for rarer fish. There are 7 magic fish that benefit your fish. When you discover one it leaves a sparkle trail as it swims. So far I have found 5 and am having a heck of a time figuring out the last two, but I know I will. This is where the patients comes in as well. All in all, I would recomend this game if you like this sort of thing. Its relaxing to play and I do feel it was money well spent.Read full review
I bought this game for my daughter and she LOVED it. I don't play the DS much so I don't know a lot about the game. I've played it a few times and found it fun. My favorite feature is that the fish are named after real fish breeds. They are not made up like some games. People say it is a slow game but you can speed it up and buy growth hormone. It is really fun breeding fish and trying to find the 7 magical fish. The magical fish have real names too. I got it for $25 so I think if you pay under $25 you are lucky. I hope this helps you decide whether or not to buy this game.
This is a good game for people who arent after any actual challenges. The only challenge in this is keeping the fish alive. Since its in 'real time' fish tend to die easily if you miss a day of play. Overall its a decent game, it would have been better with more variety and if the real time wasnt so threatening. For a better pet game, Id say Nintendogs is best, at least with that the pups never die and are always happy to see you!
The reason for such a rating is because the game only gives you a small amount of money to start $300-$500. You need all these supplies for your fish to be able to breed and make money. But you can't afford anything so your fish start to die. Every item needed to do this is several hundred or up to thousand dollars. I was very hard to navigate and to understand how to run the game.The directions are of no help either. It is very difficult,and becomes boring very quickly. It is also played in real time so if you don't play the game,until the following day, most likely you will find your fish dead. And need to start all over again. Over all don't waste your money, unless you are a gamer and have played this on another system and know the ins and outs.
Amazing game, lots of fun!
