So much more fun than it has any right to be, Fantasy Aquarium is a great sim game for ocean animal lovers. You can keep all kinds of marine life in up to five different tanks, each a different size. Your tank is totally customizable to meet the needs of each species - acidity, temperature, light, decorations, etc.

I recommend that you keep track of each species' needs and diet, because they can be very different. At first I suggest that you keep only one species per tank until you learn which animals can live together under similar conditions. I have found that manta rays and sea turtles can live together quite well. Also, don't do anything foolish like putting penguins and sharks in the same tank, because your penguins are going to be so much chum.

As your animals are cared for, more species and tank bonuses will be unlocked. It's fun for pretty much anyone. The only downside is that you can't delete just one tank - you have to delete ALL OF THEM. It can take a couple of practice runs, but this is one of the better sim games I've played.

This game is pretty basic. fill your tank, keep your fish happy, earn new fish. simple concept. Its a good game to play to relax with. The sound track is soothing, and the graphics are decent. Over all its a swell game.

I got this for my daughter but she liked it for about three days and then got bored with it because she couldn't unlock any new animals or go up any levels. She got tired with it after that. Now it sits on the shelf like her other bored with games.

I had the original aquarium by DS and loved it... But when i found out there was a fantasy aquarium, I FREAKED OUT! Fantasy aquarium is the best game I have ever played in my entire life. It's really fun to take care of your little sea creatures and wonder what you will unlock next. The animals are very realistic.( my favorite is the oarfish. And yes, there really is such thing as an oarfish) BUT... If you don't have an interest in ocean life, you may find this game really boring. You really have to like fish and stuff to like this game ( I do!) (:

My 7 year old son has a passion for anything ocean related...and he LOVES this game. I've watched him play it and to me it seems boring, but he would play it for hours on end if I let him. I think this game is geared more toward the younger players. It was well worth the money.

It's a bit more exciting than the previous aquarium game bcuz u can get sharks and whales and squids and jellyfish, and even narwhals! The other 1 just has fish that ur not familiar with. So its not as much fun. This game is really fun. Although i dont think I could play it for hrs and hrs its a great game!

I really like this game. For the first 20 minutes or so it's fun. You clean, feed, receive, and take care of animals. You have to get on your DS often though or your fish will die quickly. Plus Naming your fish takes FOREVER! But after a while this game gets pretty boring overall. Although it never ends like Imagine games do so it's o pretty decent game.

I purchased this for my 7 year old daughter & she enjoyed it for a little while. But it seemed like she lost interest in it after about a week.

I am a twelve year old ocean lover who bought this game thinking that it would be like zoo tycoon goes marine. Sadly, I was wrong. This game is empty, pointless and utterly ridiculous. Who ever heard of keeping a sperm whale in a fish tank? Or an oar fish? (extremely rare) How about four orcas? At first I was OK with this ridiculous feature, but as time wore on I found it harder and harder to put up with. Since the only way to unlock new animals is to play for a while, the game seems pretty boring. I wanted to have sharks, but you don't start with sharks so you have to play which is extremely mundane. The animals don't have to be fed or their tanks cleaned. They aren't even fun to watch. The sea horses just sit there and the orcas move in never ending circles. The animation isn't spectacular either.

Just as I was about to give up and toss the game aside, I had a bright idea. Why not put a orca and penguin together? If can't get some good animals, maybe I can get some good Jaws action. But that was a disapointment too. All that happens is a note simply flashes across the top telling you that penguin 4 as been eaten. No blood, gore or anything.

Over all this game was disappointing and I wouldn't reccomend it.
