Roll up, roll up, come and look after a virtual elephant!
I can't say that I have ever played a game like "It's My Circus: Elephant Friend", since games that feature the nurturing of an elephant are few and far between.
I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this game, I mean how exciting can looking after a virtual elephant get?
Also, considering the size of the animal, I can imagine taking care of them would be a lot of work.
A good percentage of this game features most of these tasks – washing it, playing with it, feeding it. There's even a section that features a shop, where you can buy clothes and toys for Nellie.
Thankfully there’s a lot more to the game than brushing giant teeth and cleaning up giant piles of excrement.
After spending a good amount of time nurturing my elephant, I decided it was time to see how he performed in front of an audience.
Easily one of the best sections of "It's My Circus: Elephant Friend", the quality of the elephant’s performance all depends on your ability to take part in a number of mini-games.
Most of the games are pretty simple and involve the player using the stylus to hit the right marks at the right time. Compromising of a combination of numerical and colour based tasks, the game is aimed at the younger audience.
Overall, Its My Circus is an educational game perfect for the younger DS owner.
Verdict: 7 out of 10
Good stuff:
- Lots to do
- Plenty to unlock
- Lots of places to explore
