Animal Crossing City Folk Review

Here is my 130th post and the long awaited ACCF review.

Story: You're minding your own business on the bus to the town you name. Rover the cat asks some questions that creates your character. The story is not that good.

Gameplay: When you get to the town you name you have to go to town hall and find a house you like then Tom Nook will tell you to work for him for a while. After like 10 minutes of hard labor you're aloud to do what you want to do. You can make your house bigger, go fishing, catch bugs, make designs, buy stuff, arrange furniture, and mingle with your neighbors. There are lots of neighbors that you can mingle with so no gaming experience will ever be the same. When you start playing the game you have only 5 neighbors but, you get one more per day until you have 10. They'll move in and out of your town depending on your relashinship with them. New to the series is the city. You can change your hair style, get a Mii mask, buy emotions at the marqee and more. To get there you have to get to the gate and click on the sign. You can leave your town or have people come into your town with the Online connection. You can have 3 friends come over to your town. If you buy the Wiispeek you'll be able to talk to your friend like they're all in the same room. If you don't you can talk to them useing the message maker thingy. At the Able sister's place you can buy hat's clothes and make a Pro Design. A pro design alows you to design the front, the back, and the sleeves seperate. Making your house is a big thing in this game. You can decorate the house however you want. You can have up to 3 rooms you can decorate if you pay the morgages. Making lot's of money or bells as they're called is crusial as well. So you can buy cool stuff. You can get addicted to this game for even a year. But, there are some events that change the game a little. There are the holidays such as Christmas and even your birthday.

Graphics: Nintendo made the game look a little like a GC game to make the game simpler. But, it does look good. I do like the look of the city at night.

Music: Pretty good. Every hour the music outside changes. Also every Saturday at 8:00 PM you'll be able to listen to K.K. Rider's songs. I love K.K.'s songs. If you have a radio you can put the song you just listened to in it.

Tips: Selling Fish and bugs is the key to get lots of money. If you take fruit your town didn't start with you can get's lot's of money for it. Bury the fruit to make trees that grow that fruit. The catalog is an important thing in AC. If you held an item that is not in Nook's catalog it will be cataloged. There is a point system that Nook has. If you buy stuff at his store points will be added to your point card. You can get items like, Midna's mask, the Hero's cap Mario's cap and more. You should buy all the furniture then sell the stuff you don't want to get some of your money back.

Bad: It's ranting time. Everytime you go to the city and back to your town you'll have to talk to capp'n it's boring and time consuming. You have to pay the morgages to make your house bigger it's just annoying. You can't jump, swim, or even climb trees. In order for Nook to remodel his store you have to buy stuff but, It can take days to turn his store into a better one. Some of the tasks your neighbors give you are insane. You can't make your own holiday. Some of the things in ACCF can only be done once per day. Lastly you can't design the outside of the house except for the roof color and the flag you get after you finished all of the morgages.

Good: Mr. Resetti he appears when you press the reset button during the game. He talks to you about random things and get's really mad at you it's funny. Using the tools is very simple. If you have an internet connection you'll recieve a letter from Nintendo with a present. I got Ladder shades from them the day after I started ACCF. The online connection allows you to play with your friends and perticipate in their events. Making designs is cool and buying stuff to desing my character and decorating the inside of the house. K.K. Rider is always cool and has catchy music. I didn't use this option but, for those who played the DS animal crossing game there is an option that allows you to get your character from Wild World in City Folk. You'll be able to keep your catalog too.

Conclusian: Because of the Wii's internal clock everyday is really a brand new day. The game will know what time it is, the day, and if it's day or night. The game will actually know how long you haven't been playing. Also on time one of your neighbors will ask you when your birthday is. The Mii mask is kinda cool. If you never played an Animal Crossing game before this is perfect for you. If you played Wild World and the original this game will rub you the wrong way. Almost everything from the past games are the same. You'll still like it. You should get the Wii version if you have a Wii. You should get the DS version if you have a DS. But which is better? If you have a Wii and a DS it'll be hard to choose. The DS version is cheaper but, the Wii version has a better way to communicate with your friends online. It depends on you.

Score: For a game that is addictive, and fun I'm proud to give this game a
9/10. If you have your family members playing this game too you'll have to live in the same town so to warn you.
