Too Addicting - Can't get enough
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Since buying this game, out Cable TV has not been on at all. Chores have been neglected and we don't get enogh sleep. We spend way to much time as a family and not enough time fighting, arguing and eating. LOL! Kidding sorta, but this game is fun for all ages (kids who can read) and beware that it's so addicting. We have started acting out the game in real life. It's so much fun. I wish everyone I knew had it so we could visit each others towns.

You can only play once player at a time. If you are connecting with a friend online, it may take a couple tries to connect. Sometimes it may not connect at all. I lost my connect with my friends online a couple times. When this happens, you lose your progress for that time you played. I never had this problem with any other online games. Maybe it's the Wii server. Other than that, I love this game. I haven't got board with it yet.

Dissapointed with the lack of improvement

I think this game has excellent graphics and I really like the new features, such as the opportunities to visit the other city for shopping, design your own constellations, and use your own Mii as your player. But there are quite a few things that I did not like about this game.
I didn't think the game was very kid-friendly because of the way the animals often insulted you. I wasn't offended by it, but I'm sure any younger kid (4-9) who might play this game would be. But other than that, this game is okay for children to play, as long as they have a long attention span. My reasoning for that is because I was bored with this game after the first hour of exploring. I thought it was much too similar to Animal Crossing Wild World for the Nintendo DS. I've been trying to sell this game for a while with no luck. It's definitely not a huge improvement from Wild World at all, even if the two are on seperate consoles. The new features weren't enough to call this game an improvement in my opinion. But, if you've never played Animal Crossing Wild World before, then go ahead and buy this game because you've got nothing to be dissapointed in. The dissapointment for me is mainly coming from the lack of improvement in Animal Crossing since the last version of the game. But in my opinion, Animal Crossing Wild World for DS was a much better buy for me.
I also didn't think there was much of a storyline to this game, but that's not usually something I care about when looking for a game to play. I usually only play games based on the graphics and how fun other people are saying it is. As you can see, I didn't think this game was very fun compared to Wild World. City Folk wasn't really something I hadn't seen before being a player of both WW and CF. Okay, enough of comparing Wild World and City Folk, now you can make your descision based on the reviews if you'll buy this or not.
Good luck with whatever purchases you choose to make, and have fun either way!

This is a very cute game. I got it for my kids and they just seem to love it. It's great because you can make up to four characters. So my kids just take turns playing the game with their own character. How you can decorate your house and customize your characters seems to get my kids excited. It would be nicer if you could customize how your character looked from the start instead of having your character made by answering questions. The game is also too addicting. It's all my kids play all day.

overall this is a great game! the only thing bad about it is that it takes 580,00 "bells" to pay off the final level of your house and it takes forever to do so! but, after you play the game for that long if you are new to Animal Crossing, it gets boring, even for a veteran like myself i have/played all the Animal Crossings and after about 6 months they get boring and i just drop them for a while then pick them up later, but over all it is pretty good! great job nintendo!

Another great Animal Crossing

This is a great game where you are a person who moves into a town full of animals (they act just like people). In this game you do normal things like shopping, fishing, collecting bugs, and going to the city. These things might seem to be dull on paper but in the game they are extremely fun. The game is played in real time so if it is night, then it is night on the game. Also the game has holidays (like New Year’s, Halloween, and Christmas) so in order to do everything in the game, you have to play it for a long time (which is great). The only bad thing is that, for those of you who have Wild World, it is kind of a repeat, although now you can go to the city and use Wii Speak. Overall this game is great and I recommend it to everyone.

This game is almost an exact copy of the old Animal Crossing on Gamecube. The items and some missions are the same. the other negative thing about this is that it might be kind of boring when you don't have any friends who also have this game, meaning you're by yourself on the game. No friends. Anyways, this game is really cool because you can use it with Wii Speak, and communicate with other online friends by simply taliking! I only suggest you buy this game if you have friends to play online with.
