SUMMARY:
Animal Crossing is a life simulator game except that you live in a village full of animals. You can talk to other animals, run errands, create "cool" clothes patters, buy stuff, etc. And that's 'bout where the fun ends. As I said, you can talk to other people in your village but 9 times out of 10, it will be something you already heared. You can also fish in this game. Sounds like fun? Sure it is, but it gets old and tired after the third time. You can dig holes and plant trees to grow fruits which is not as fun as it seems. And, if you're lucky, your tree will actually grow! And imagine, doing this every single day. And, to toss in a little fun, some traveler person will visit your town to let you buy "exotic" carpets, wallpapers, and clothes! w00t, awesome! If all that fun doesn't pull you in, you can also pull weeds! And if too many grow and you don't pull any, your...

Visuals: 2/10
The visuals are pretty ugly, but it's a Gamecube Game and it was quite early, visuals ARE supposed to be ugly. I found myself looking at mounds of clay with clothes, that's what the characters are. They hardly even feel like they took any form of effort, just piles of clay with clothes. To top that off, you have to stare at them for all of the game. The buildings don't look as bad, but they're still terrible looking. Guess what? You also have to keep looking at them for the whole game. The items look uglier. You have to collect them and you also have to stare at them. They're possibly the ugliest visuals, but it's an early Gamecube game. You really can't blame Nintendo because they attempted to make another 3D game in 2001 which looks extremely ugly.

Sound: 2/10
The sound-bytes are just plain repetitive. To be honest, I think once you play for a few hours, the music will get incridibally annoying and repetitive. Even for an early Gamecube game, the game's...

THE GOOD:
This game is easy too get hooked on.Just like in real life seasons change holidays come and go.You get your own house but you have too pay for it well don't expect everything in life too be free.This is the only game I know that has you hooked for years.Plant your own trees buy turnips catch fish and bugs.Nes games can be gotten in the game nintendo made this game too good.You can help out with a museum and your friends can come there too look at all of the history there.Theres all lot of things good about this game neighbors sure they say some of the same things but its ok.Make your own shirts at the tailer.Trade items with people over the internet using american codes.Fish catch bugs and get fun cool items that are just for fun I know what they are but I don't want too spoil it for you.

THE BAD:
Theres nothing bad about this game.Nintendo has made a super cool game.They worked hard making the game and I thank them for making animal crossing for...

We have seen many games come out for the GC, but nothing like this game. Animal Crossing is a real-time, addictive game. The game uses the time from your GC that you seted when you first used it. In this game, you run around town, talking to neighbors, fish, pluck weeds, catch bugs, design your own cloths, and make enough money, to pay off your house and get a bigger one.

The controls for this game is very simple. Use the control stick to walk, B button to run, X to view map and Y or start to to at you inventory.

The game features Chrarcters, with their own personalities. You can make them mad or happy, depending what you say when you talk to them. They can give you errands and you get a prize once you complete it. Or you can make deals, or they will give you tips.

There are many events that only happens once a year, or happen often. There are events that happen in Animal Crossing as well in the real world, like 4th of July. With events, come special prizes that...

THE GOOD:
It shows that Nintendo do respond to European campaigns sometimes...occasionally...very rarely...erm, extremely rarely...

THE BAD:
There's too much to fit in here. Kindly see below, please.

SUMMARY:
Isn't it ironic that when Nintendo finally decides to respond to the campaigns of European players and releases a game which has been kept back from us for ages, it turns out to be disappointing?

France, after over a year of campaigning, eventually received confirmation of a release for the game. The rest of Europe was campaigning for at least TWO years before we finally saw the game released here. So, what exactly is (are) the problems(s)? I shall now explain.

For a start, the "Universal Code System" has become the "American Code System", since apparently very few or possibly even NONE of those Codes are usable in the PAL Version of the game. Of course, not realising this, American players are still referring to it...

Animal Crossing is a game that is not like any other game. Its not another nintendo Mario game, but a single, shiney diamond in the GameCube industry. THis being one of my first games, it consumed nearly a month of full-day playing.

Once you start, you wont stop intill a REALLY long time. With warm, cuddly chars and friendly enviorments, this game can cheer you up in the worst of moods. You can do a large varity of daily things, like plant flowers, catch fish, treat your neighboors to gifts, and the most fun of all, decorating and enlarging a house!

It sounds kinda wacky, but seriously, after a wile you show off this stuff to people you dont even know form the streets cause your so proud. YOu start with a little shanty shack, with nothing but crappy wall and floors, and a orange box. As your time eveolves, (the time in this game is real-time, meaning you wake up at 7 am, play it for an hour, and its 8 am in the game. Shut the game off for an hour and come back, it...

THE GOOD:
Lots of different characters to talk to
Multiplayer
You can visit your friend's towns, that's cool.
Very difficult and challenging game.

THE BAD:
Too many cheats to make the game all that easier.

SUMMARY:
when I bought Animal Crossing I was figuring it was a bad game even when I didn't even hear about it at all. But when I was playing it, I got hooked. This game is pretty cool. You can decorate your house, pay mortgages, talk to friends, and the time follows you throughout the game whether you're playing it or not. It's kind of like a game that prepares you for the real world, which is definetly good. There are so many things you can do and it will keep you busy for a long time. But don't cheat on that game. It will be less fun for you. Overall, this game is worth the money I would definetly recommend buying it.

Nintendo’s special “life-sim“ took its time reaching Europe, so one had good time to read all the positive reviews about it, hearing what a wonderful game it was, building up anticipation and making it all more the annoying during the period when it was unsure if it would ever get an European release. Obviously it did arrive here too eventually, but did it live up to the expectations? A cautious yes is my answer.

The game starts of with your character leaving of for the town he/she (you can choose if your character is to be male or female) is going to stay in, and when by train having arrived in the town, the real game begins. You get your house (which isn’t free by the way), and then you explore the town, meeting the different residents, which you find out have different personalities, and are of various species. You can choose to interact with them in several ways, like talking to them or offering to help them, from after which (if you manage to help...

THE GOOD:
Catching Fish
Pulling Weeds
Catching bugs
Choping trees
furnishing your house
design color schemes
play with friends
travel to new islands
meet vilagers
do the favors
dig up tresure
Start your own little community!
You can change the background music!

THE BAD:
Nothing, Nothing at all.

SUMMARY:
Animal crossing is a game based on real life. You name your town, set the time, ect. You can do favors for the towns folk and get wewarded with bells ($ money $)
or furniture and other goodies. Theres 2 ways people usally play animal crossing. They either play it a bit and put it down and never come back (your village gets infested with weeds if you do) or thay play and CANNOT STOP.

When starting the game you sit on a train waiting to arrive in your town, then you meet Rover the cat. Just answer some simple questions and remember to be nice. Then you start your adventure. You pick one of the 4...
