USA Today writes: "SimAnimals, a new simulation game for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS, puts nature in your hands, literally. You play as an animated hand as you tinker with the different forest environments by interacting with the creatures and plants found there. Because you can touch, pick up and move all of the animals and plants, it is a fascinating experience that is hard to put down.
Full of more than 30 animals - including prickly porcupines, playful bears, smelly skunks and determined beavers - and more than 80 plants, the game's overall theme is for you to help each animal and plant find happiness."
