decided i would revisit this, seeing as it was a game fondly remembered from childhood.
i can firmly say it was undeserving- not only does it have abysmally janky controls, it's just straight up not fun either.
you pick up squirrel, put it on a plant. then put it on a plant. then put it on another plant. now he'll let you pet him! one pet later, he trusts you and have moved in. then you feed him to a weasel, and watch as the game plays a sad little jingle for the animal you just sent to slaughter. rinse and repeat.
this game made me feel like an asshole, bored me, made my wrist hurt from having to shake the wii remote so much. at least the animals were cute?

a fun game, but one that does not really hold up as well playing as an adult.
as a kid, i thought the best thing i could do in it was make sparklehorses in it. as an adult, i also think the ability to make sparklehorses is it's best feature- the customisation in the game is very fun, very wacky, can create some beautiful eyesores.
the rest of the gameplay is not nearly as exciting. it's fun for an hour or two for nostalgia's sake, but... there's only so much fun tossing a ball at a technicolour cat can provide a jaded 20 year old.
i can't truly hold that against it since i'm far from the target demographic, and it's a pretty good kids game compared to many things i played in my childhood. still... i don't think it's one i'd go back to in a hurry.
