 Some of you are not playing long enough! July 6, 2008
I realize that different people like different things, but this is not the kind of game you can 'try out' for an hour.
The first day or two you are 'working' for the store owner, who has just sold you a house to live in. He has you run those errands and such. This is mostly to familiarize you with the game and get you started.
This game works in real time, so you can't 'finish' this stage all at once. It wasn't designed to be played for hours and hours straight. It was made to play a little each day.
I've read a lot of reviews here and there about people who think they're 'forced' to pull weeds, pick all the fruit, pay off the loans (which get bigger and bigger), run everybody's errands, fill up the museum, etc.
THAT'S NOT IT AT ALL!!! You don't HAVE to do anything! You don't even have to pay back any of your loan, but you get a better house each time that you do. You don't HAVE to pull the weeds...just let them grow! Ignore the museum...whatever! Why would you keep doing something you don't enjoy? Personally, I hate dealing with the weeds...so I let them grow. (fortunately, a nice ghost I met at 2am pulled them for me!)
Heck, my boyfriend just got a big kick out of resetting and watching Mr. Resetti raise heck about it...and then he beat poor Kiki with the the butterfly net until she cried!!!!!
There are mini games that you find in the game, there are special events, and lots of game secrets (tip: when you dig up money from a glowing hole, bury some money in the same hole...you will grow a money tree!)
Also, some people are upset about the timeline and how they can only play during certain times of the day. CHANGE THE DATE!!! You can make it Christmas morning if you want. Also, I work night shift, so I change night to day...or just tweak the time enough to get Tom Nook's store to open.
Anyways, I really feel that some of you would have enjoyed it if you gave it a chance. Just play for 15-30 minutes each day for a week...then you may become hooked.

This is a very fun game along the lines of the sims. The only thing that even slightly bothers me is the character model graphics. Other than that this game will keep you playing endlessely, especially if your as easily amused as me.

This is an example of a game returning to what gaming used to be before the fanboys went completely nuts, before everything was about graphics and frame rate, and before developers ran out of originality. This game is about fun, and nothing else. The graphics are what many would consider to be sub-par but I find them colorful, different, and relaxing. The game runs very smoothly and without any hiccups, adding to the experience. The little missions your neighbors give you are relatively easy and the rewards are always helpful or neat in one way or another. Decorating your house and keeping it clean is surprisingly fun, and the only violence it requires is squishing cockroaches. The environment is beautiful in its own special way and even changes with the seasons. I would say a negative for this game is how addictive it is except that the game goes at the same pace of real life. So, the only way to keep going and going throughout the day is to lie to the game and tell it that another day has gone by. If you do that though you either have some serious addiction problems or are very bored. What it comes down to is that this game accomplishes what most games being made these days cannot, its just fun, pure and simple. It doesn't try to be art or cutting edge, or push the sex and violence envelope, it just tries to be genuinely fun, which in a strange way makes it art in itself.
 Oh so dull. March 4, 2008

I was all hyped for this game, being an animal lover, and avid gamer. I enjoy role-playing games such as the Zelda series, Spyro, Gun, etc. I heard all the fantastic reviews that this is such a fun game for all ages, interacting with characters, building your own little town, multiple player modes, cause and effect, and all the other hoopla. Well, I fell asleep a few times playing this game. AC is not exactly exciting. It is time accurate, so if you have a job, and a life, this game is not for you. I'd play one or two times a week, and the town changed, friends would not talk to me, weeds everywhere, freinds moving out, new ones moved in, stupid 'chores' to do for everyone, (please, take this organizer to Static, I simply don't have the time to deliver it myself.) And if you don't do these chores, none of the characters will talk much because they don't 'trust' you. Ugh. Then during all of that, you have to earn bells to pay off a ridiculous priced house, then a bigger house with a bigger bill. All I got done doing was running my a** off doing chores and trying to pay off the house! The goal (from what I understand) is creating "the perfect town". The townsfolk judge your house and it's contents, and will most certainly call you a slob unless you conform to thier idea of 'perfect'. Screw that idea. Lame. This game might be ok for kids with no social life, or people healing a broken leg or something, other than that...I'd suggest passing this one off for a more challenging title. I give AC the rating of *snore*.
NOT a kids game. February 26, 2008

My son, who is now ten, has played this game for a few years and, I admit, seems to love it. But be careful, the characters in this game can be very hostile and cruel. Just this evening I read one of the dialogs as my son was playing and could not believe the underlying hostility, and the word "stupid" appeared in one of the dialogs refering to my sons character. This game is not appropriate for a young audience and the makers of the game should be ashamed of themselves for marketing it to a young audience. I was very leary of the sarcasm of the characters when my son first started playing the game. Just keep in mind if you are going to purchase this game for a child, the characters in the game get increasingly cold, heartless, and cruel. For me, the game has crossed the line of what I want my son playing.
