 FUN! FUN! FUN! September 27, 2007
This game is SO addictive. All 7 of my nieces and nephews have this game on gamecube and on gameboy advance. This means we all get to have even more fun visiting eachother's towns, plus the island!
Nintendo game September 4, 2007
Actually my son sold his game and then bought it again, because he missed it... strange, but I guess that says enough about the game.
Fun, engaging, open-ended RPG August 15, 2007

Animal Crossing is a very fun and entertaining (but demanding) game with lots of replay value.
As a human who just moved to a new town filled with anthropomorphic animals, your time will be spent improving said town and building relationships with said animals. You can plant and remove trees and flowers, pull weeds, and dispose of trash to beautify the village. You can chat with your animal neighbors, run errands for them (for which you receive rewards), and send them letters (to which they often reply). If you befriend them, they will usually stay around for a while; if you are mean or ignore them, they will occasionally move to another town. Fittingly, if your town is attractive, new animals will move in.
The main goal of the game is to earn enough bells (the currency in Animal Crossing) to pay for your new house. However, you are free to take your time, as there is no deadline (nor is their any interest rate). You can furnish, paint, and expand your house, giving it some character.
Other optional tasks are bug-catching, fishing, and collecting fossils and artwork. The game keeps track of your progress if you donate your items to the town museum. (Of course, non-unique items can be sold for bells.) Because some bugs and fish are may only be caught at certain times of day and during certain months, a completionist will need to play the game for at least a full year. (Those of questionable gaming integrity can reset the GameCube/Wii calendar and clock to "time travel" instead.)
Another incentive to play through for a full year is the seasonal activities. There are numerous annual festivals, usually falling on actual American holidays such as July 4th and Halloween. These festivals typically give you the opportunity to obtain rare items. Some are more demanding than others; the morning aerobics in the summertime requires that you attend 14 days at 6AM (within a span of just over a month).
Finally, up to four players can share the same town. Although they cohabit the same area, only one can play at a time. Communication is possible through writing letters and posting on the town message board. Additional towns may be created on additional memory cards, and provided that you have both memory cards in your possession, you may visit the town in the other memory card.
THE BEST GAME EVER!!! July 20, 2007

This was SUCH a good game! When I first saw the game I thought, "Who would play a dumb baby game like this!?" I was so wrong. If I could, I'd give it a 10 star rating. It's so fun! I know I'm 12 years old, and I'll admit I LOVE cute and cuddly stuff, but my MOM loves this game. So how bad can it be?
You're this little person who has just moved to town and need to pay off you morgage. In this town you can: Shop, Make your own clothes, fish, bug catch, do favors for ANIMAL friends and lots more! When I was fishing I caught a coelacanth!
"SSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I'll let you in on a couple of secrets I learned!
When you buy a shovel, bang on rocks every day. Money comes flying out. You know the saying money dosn't grow on trees? Here it does!
I also learned something else from this game: NEVER JUDGE A VIDEO GAME BY IT'S COVER!
 Nothing like the DS version... July 14, 2007

My wife bought this because she's absolutely addicted to the DS version of Animal Crossing. Unfortunately, this version is nothing like that. Waaaaaay too slow and difficult to do anything. Saving your game takes forever and pretty much everything you want to do requires you to jump through numerous hoops that only slow things down.
One to avoid!
