Customer Ratings & Reviews

I walked into my local Best Buy and was surprised to see that they had this game preowned (seeing as how most stores don't even offer it new anymore and it's pretty hard to find.) I recently bought a Wii U and wanted to catch up on this before New Leaf comes out for the 3DS. When I brought it home, everything looked as if it were actually new, even though the product was preowned! I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely be buying P.O. from my local Best Buy again. In terms of gameplay, this is like all the other Animal Crossing games for the GameCube and DS. You assume the role of a new dude or dudette in town, and have to pay off your house all while discovering fossils and catching bugs or fishing. (There's a museum for you to fill up with everything you collect.) I usually do not like games like this and find them tedious, but this game has a unique allure and charm that makes it fun to play. My only complaint would be that since it follows a real world clock, if you play too late, you can't do much stuff (as the store in game is closed around 10.) Other than that this game is amazing, so if you have a Wii or Wii U (with a Wii Remote) I suggest you pick up this game! Easily the best console version of Animal Crossing. You can even host online hang outs with your friends in your town (however this requires you both to swap friend codes, as was Nintendo's online structure years ago.) Overall, definitely consider picking this up before New Leaf!

Having played the orginal Animal Crossing for game cube, and AC Wild World for DS, I didn't know if City Folk would be good or just a repeat of the same old. It is similar to the orginal animal crossing, but is better with the wifi ability to travel to friends towns and the ability to trade items with friends by wifi. Super fun and Best Buy's used game prices beat every other one out there.

Age appropriate game for young players developing gaming and cognitive skills. My daughter loves to play!

Awesome game, similar to DS version but different enough to own both.

Good sim-style game to play when children are around.

This game is nice, but it takes a long time to walk everything. I had a hard time getting invested.
