 Oh so dull. March 4, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
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.
 A cute game where you get to live your life in a twon accompinied by: You guessed it, animals! February 18, 2008
I just love this game. I started with getting animal crossing: wild world for the DS. So I needed the GC version. There are SO many things to do in animal crossing!!! First, they let you pick a name, a gender, and you even get to name the town that you're heading to! The town is full of trees, green, and 3D! Other animals will also live their life in the town with houses that you may enter. You can talk to the animals who have unique names, and even personalitys! There are over a hundred things these animals can say to you, so it NEVER gets boring! You get your own house, too! You can upgrade your house (But it's very expensive...:?), and put items (furniture, chairs statues, wardrobes, beds, desks, lamps, NES games [which you can play, there are 15 at all, not special ones like super mario bros. and the legend of zelda, actually these can be obtained with action replay, NOT recomended, but you CAN get games like "balloon fight" or "donkey kong"], special items like 8-bit mario sprites, etc.) in it, too! You can even put in wallpaper and floorings! They are numerous ways to get these items like an item store (the best way), animals, etc! There will also be a tailor, where you can design your own works of art on a canvas (which actually kind of reminds me of MS paint XD) and then display them (other animals can come in and get your design too, no joke!), store them, or keep them! What you do with designs is put them as your clothes or umbrella. Also, tom nook (the owner of the item shop) owns clothes and umbrellas that you buy, but you can display these in your house! There are also special town events that take place such as "the fishing owurney" or "toy day". This game never gets old, and asspcially not boring! Also, it's cute, midgety, and chibi! Whether you'rea boy, a girl, a man, or a woman, you'll LOVE this heke of a game!
Great for Grandparents, grandchildren and great-grands! January 23, 2008
I'm a 57 year old Animal Crossing addict and I'm not looking for a cure! I started a character in one of my "towns" and gave him my father's name, and my 89 year old Dad learned to use the hand held controller to "go fishing". He enjoyed feeling the vibration when the "fish" bit the fishing hook. My grandchildren have been playing this game for about 4 years, one even before he could read. We all get a kick out of the things the animals say, and it is still exciting to dig up fossils and currency.
Kids LOVE it! January 3, 2008
This was recommended to me by one of my customers. He raved about how his kids loved it. My three kids can't wait to play it! There's no violence, they have their own town and work and is on real time and the "town" continues, even when they aren't playing.
