GamingUnion.net: "At the start, Atelier Annie seems to be a bland, cookie-cutter RPG to be thrown into a pile of obscurity, but once past the introduction of the game the great little extras shine through to show off a great little hybrid of a game. People who are looking for a fresh twist on the genre or those who don't want to worry about investing four hours on an individual quest, look no further. Beyond the rough edges of this game there is still enough fun to be had to warrant picking Atelier Annie up."

Are you ready to take up the reigns as an Alchemist and dive into the epic, fantasy realm of…island resort management? Wait…what the hell?!
Last year was a good year for Nintendo’s well known handheld system. While there’s always a handful of unmemorable games like “Petz Pony: Beauty Pageant” which most game enthusiasts would never consider touching, 2009 also brought a surprisingly good variety of fun games. In no particular order, here’s my favorite Nintendo DS games from 2009...
The graphics are quite good an the characters move smoothly. The controls are intuitive and easily controlled by both the buttons and stylus. Blogcritics likes that you can do one or the other and not required to use both. There is a lot of dialogue that is almost entirely pointless, and is a typically rudimentary translation from Japanese; luckily it is easy to skim the dialogue and get through it fast. If you are an RPG fan, this game will probably bore you, as it is really almost a sim, but if you are ready to graduate from Pokemon, this is a good stepping stone.
Sounds like an interesting game.
I checked out the game's official site, I kinda like the music o__O
li ked the start of the game quite a bit
cliché but laughable ..
you can lose alot of time playing this game. kind of plays like harvest moon.
and there alternate endings as well.
however since the characters(in game) have white eyes, i'm waiting for someone to swap the characters and turn them into prinnys(and its a NIS game too)
