Animal Crossing

I played this game a couple of years ago at a friend's house, and the moment I got into the game, I was hooked! I thought it was one of the most interesting games I had ever played. It's even better than some of those action games that I usually play! I just got the game on the last weekend of July, and I've played everyday since then. In fact, I even got my older sister who is 18 and my little brother who is 13 to start playing the game. Now we compete with each other over who's going to play next. My sister and I live in one village and my little brother lives in another. After playing the game for not even a month, I have already gotten my house to be what I believe is the biggest house you can get in the game. I might be wrong though. Anyway, some of the neighbors are not the best neighbors in the world. That's okay, though. Unfortunately, we've all had to deal with neighbors moving away to and moving into our villages. The game can sometimes make you angry when it decides that it doesn't want you to find the best bugs and fish right away. It also makes Tom Nook, the owner of your town's store, close his store for a whole day to remodel his store. That has often gotten on my sister's nerves, mostly because I'm usually the one that makes it happen by paying off my debt really quickly. Trust me, though, it's worth it when he reopens the next day. This game is one of the best games ever! I highly recommend it for all ages. Particularly if you are under 20 or something and want to get a sense of what it's like to have to deal with debts that can be overwhelming at times. Maybe we will all get a sense of what our parents feel? A definite 10/10.

You may have played The Sims or Harvest Moon, but you have no

idea how perfect Animal Crossing is.

At first, I thought this game was kiddy too... Come on, how many

games nowadays don't have a little bit of violence? The graphics

looked bad and childish, but... I gave it a try.

Let me just put in this way: I played this game for about two hours

every single day for a year and I never, ever got tired or sick of it.

The replay value is infinite, you never run out of things to do.

There's always someone to talk to, some insects, fish, furniture or

clothing to collect... You must be really careful, because this game

leaves you addicted to it like no other. You may spend more time

living your virtual life than your real life and you won't even notice.

Now that you've been warned, I suggest you to play this one, the

best game ever made.

Most people are saying that the GameCube is kiddy- system. This is partly true. Nintendo cares about all the people that play video games, so they make all kinds of games. Animal Crossing is one thats intended for everyone, kids can find it fun, teenagers will, too, and even some adults will (my dad plays it all the time). You may look at the graphics and wonder, "What were they smoking when they designed this?" The look is definatley "kid- friendly" and is made to look anything but realistic, but the actual game makes up for it.

You start as a kid who moved away from his parents and went to live with a whole bunch of colorful, fuzzy animals. Once there, you'll get a job, pay off debts for your house, send letters to other animals, find fossils to put in the museum, catch bugs and fish, decorate your own house and much more. This is one of the greatest games I've ever played and I would recomend it to everyone.

My score- 9 out of 10

In 2002, I was on the internet and came across Animal Crossing on a video game website. I instantly was drawn into this weird, kiddie-looking game. When i first saw the screen shots, i was so excited and knew i wanted this game immediately. Animal Crossing is the game that never ends. Really. It's a game that lives and breathes in real time! Which means, if it's Christmas here, it's Christmas on Animal Crossing! Starting the game, you are on a train, and answer questions to determine what your character will look like. There are many different faces you could end up with. You start out with a small house and by paying your loan to the post office, you could get expansions to your house, like an upstairs or a basement. Animal Crossing offers something most games don't: your own life. In AC, you choose your life! Pick the clothes you wear, put different furniture in your house, or make designs for your shirts or umbrellas! There is so much to do in AC! Fish, hunt for bugs, go to the island, talk to the villagers, mail your friends in your village, by furniture, wallpaper, carpet, and clothes, and even visit other towns with other memory cards! If you have a GameCube, and 20 bucks, buy this game! NOW! WARNING: This game is very addictive!!! -perfect(10/10)

This game has you as a main character going to a new town and setting up a home. You get to meet your various animal neighbors and do a few things such as fishing or bug collecting. You progress in real time so whatever day it is on your gamecube it is that time in animal crossing. For awhile this is somewhat fun, however, over time the game seemed more like a chore than a fun game to play. If I decorated my house wrong I was blasted, the animals kept expecting you to visit. What really got on my nerves is that at first new animals would move in and that was neat and then some would move away, but after awhile the only ones that would move out was the newest one that just came. I would have liked it to be more random. Also, the fishing and stuff got old and I would have liked a few more things to do. They had special days when there would be festivals in town and I thought maybe you could do some new things then, but all you can do is watch the other animals do stuff while you just do your stuff as normal. Also, I am a night person and I would have liked to see at least one habitant of the town not be in bed after a certain time leaving me to wander the town alone. Still, I am betting if you had a friend who had a town and you could visit this game would have been more fun. All in all it has its moments, but for me it wore thin, however it did have me hooked for a bit. So I will not say avoid it, I just think it is a case of it not being for me.
