Official Nintendo Magazine UK Reviews Sim Animals

Also released today along side IGN's review, was a review from the Official Nintendo UK Magazine. They gave the game .1 higher then IGN with a 5.4/10. With that they had to say
"Of course, looks aren't everything in the real world - if they were no one would own a bulldog - but it would be easier to have a bit more compassion for your creatures if SimAnimals wasn't so ugly. You begin by controlling a hand high above the forest and if you thought the world looked bad from a bird's-eye view, just wait until you swoop down to ground level. The animals don't look particularly cute and the forest environment looks awful. Everything has a slightly muddy hue and the trees are so blocky that it looks as though it could have been made for the N64. You can't help but feel that a cartoony art style would have been a better idea than this poor attempt at realism."
