I give this game five stars. It's really surprizing every time I play it. It's well worth the money to buy. I havn't stopped playing it. Except when I get tired. I've played it for a week and I haven't gotten sick of it yet.
Surprisingly Addictive

The basic point of Animal Crossing is that you move into a new town asnd a new house.
You end up doing many different tasks for your neighbor's, later when you get more money or 'bells' you can buy things such as fishing rods, nets, axes, and shovels. You can sell almost everything to Tom Nook, donate fossils to the museum, or just chat (or insult) your friends.
The day to day changes will keep you coming back to the game every day to live your second life.
Sheer Excellence

Animal Crossing; even though its graphics may look a little childish, this game isnt just for children. The graphics are ok but the gameplay is unbelievable. The game interacts with holidays and real time. Of course you can skip time, but its not as fun. Animal Crossing is the best RPG of the year.
Fun but boring

This game is the best game I own on gamecube but it can still get boring sometimes like when you have no jobs to do or there is nothing happening. But yet it is very fun when theres a lot of stuff going on like on your b day they will bring presents and on new years they have a countdown party. Each animal has his/her own charater. It is a great game. If u don't enjoy those games that contain thinking or action this is the slow mellow but exciting game for you.
Addictive!

I love this game! I got this game for Christmas and it first it seemed limited. However, as I played it more and more it drew me in. Unlike the Sims, you do not need to spend time on life's mudane tasks. No eating, no sleeping, no paying bills, and my favorite, no forcing your character to "make friends". Instead you work on little challanges such as perfecting your house's decor or collecting all the insects, fish, fossils and paintings within the game. My sister and boyfriend are now addicted too. If you have a Gamecube, you need this game.

This game is for 3 year olds, girls or extreme nerds[ect bill gates] Do not buy this game. It is freakinboring. If you like games with action and violence in them dont buy this game. All those nerds who say this game is addictive is wrong. I played this game for 2 minutes and lost my lunch. All you do is go around doing chores for retarted little animals. Please dont buy this game. If you ever play this game, you will thank me that I warned you not to buy it.
Are People Brainwashed?

Maybe it's just me, but I'm seriously considering the possibility that Nintendo's Animal Crossing has millions of people brainwashed. When I read such positive reviews about such an uninspiring game, I thought of the old horror flick Halloween III. Get the picture? If you don't, simply watch H_3, and you'll come to understand.
Now about the game itself. Animal Crossing was a marketing success, but a nightmare behind closed doors for those who felt definite disappointment in the overall release. Of course the majority of those who own Animal Crossing may feel a bit different. Those of us who were looking for something more, were surely left in the dark. Animal Crossing COULD have been a GREAT game. Instead, it was released with stone age graphics, very limited real life concepts and nothing to offer for the more mature gaming community.
Not all of Animal Crossing is terrible. The real time concept was unique and impressive. Anything else brought into the same light would be considered a joke. Many would like to put TheSims and Animal Crossing in the same boat, but the two really can't be compared. TheSims has endless possibilities, while Animal Crossing is extremely limited. Two stars are given for innovation and innovation alone. Animal Crossing could have been a game of sheer genius. Could_a-should_a-would_a - blah.
animal crossing-cute, but definately not addictive

this little game is probably intended for younger audiences. it's cute, but if someone asked, "should i save up for it" i'd say, "no. rent it for 2 days and send it back." there's no seat-of-the-pants danger, no beautiful princesses to be rescued from a dragon-guarded castle. once again, a weekend rental, folks. you get to lay back and live your life on the gamecube as a strange little animal person. unless you're a lay-back, i'd-rather-live-my-life-on-the-gamecube kind of person, you don't get much out of it, except for restarting the game and making the little mole guy pop out of the ground and tell you off and get really angry, which i find amusing. otherwise...no.
