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.

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)
Animal Crossing is the best video game I've played. But, my parents took it away because i was brainwashed. So, I cannot play it anymore. But, the days I had it were the best days. I loved every character. I loved how you can design your own house and plant gardens, and buy stuff. You can make your character anything you like to. I made mine a Chemical Romance Lover! I dressed him up and black and designed My Chemical Romance clothes. And Animal Crossing has a lot of home designs. My house was all modern. I think Animal Crossing is a place where you can be you. The name of my town was Blueford. I loved that town very much. My player's name was Simmie. Anywho, I'd give it a ten, but the thing is that I want a small house, not a big one. Tom Nook is forcing you to go through hard labor. If you got the last house upgrade. You have to pay like about 700,000 dollars. So I give it a nine.
This game is VERY addictive, it may look childish but even adults play this game! It is a very fun game, especially for kids. In the game you must take care of the town you live in, you get to even name the town! Every town is always different and it takes a few days to get used to it. There are many charecters that live in your neighborhood, some are nice, some are snobby and some are even pretty moody. There are animals that live in your town such as wolves, bears, hawks, birds, cats, lions, tigers, and many more. You should really try out this game!
animal crossing is a great game. basically, it an open ended life video game, you pay off debts, furnish your house, talk to neighbors, and even go fishing. one of my favorite features about it is the fact that it goes by in real time, whether your playing or not. And, the holidays are recognized in the game; the animals in the game will always be wishing you a merry Christmas when it actually is Christmas, or fooling you when its April fools day. My only complaint is that sometimes; when you talk to someone, it can get extremely boring; they won't stop talking! so overall, if you like "life" games, definitely play this one. its probably the best out there. it should be noted, though, that there is no ending to it. And, its never really challenging. But still, be sure to check this one out. its the type of game that's good for playing almost all the time; especially when your bored. it will surely keep you entertained for quite a while.
