Video Game Reviews of Animal Crossing: City Folk
Customer Review: Animal Crossing; City Folk.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great game to play. It's fun and easy to play. You can also connect to you're friends cities and visit their cities after you've connected with you're friends. You can also buy fruit from you friends cities. The microphone is a great addition to this game. The microphone allows you to talk to you're friend while playing the game.Customer Review: Just like the ds
Summary: 4 Stars
I love animal crossing. This game is just like the ds version. The only difference is you can visit a a few shops in a city you can go to by bus. If you have the wii speak you can connect with your friends and talk with them in their town. So if you liked the ds animal crossing then you'll like this one as well. Customer Review: My 8 year old daughter loves this game
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a pretty cool game for my eight year old daughter. She loves fishing, collecting fossils and catching bugs. Not to mention being able to create new fashion designs, decorate her house and travelling to the city to do some shopping!Customer Review: City is fun, but otherwise not really anything new here
Summary: 3 Stars
Let me just say, I've loved everything Animal Crossing has put out in the franchise. If I have the system, I purchase the game within a few days or weeks of it's release. Sure the fundamentals of the game are the same, but generally there's enough new additions to the game to make the new purchases all worthwhile.
With that in mind, I was eager to pick up City Folk. I'd loved the stuff that had come out on the GameCube & the DS, so I figured that I'd fall just as much in love with the Wii version. Well... after playing it off & on, I came to one conclusion: while the game was interesting, it was just much more fun to play this on the DS & GameCube. Granted, this version has a few new tricks such as being able to go to the city & a few new characters to meet. But there were just a few things that I thought got in the way of gameplay.
It was strange getting used to playing with the new remote of the Wii. It made it a lot harder to position my character to move things about in the house or pick up or use my tools. After a while practice made it easier, but it was still a pain to get used to. The same thing goes for writing letters- letter writing is sort of a dull task to do now.
The worst thing I've come in contact with so far though, is that the grass gets worn down depending on how frequently your character walks across it. If you were to run across the grass, it'll wear it down even faster. Since there's no quick & easy way to get the grass BACK, this makes for a huge pain- especially since there's stuff in the game that's grass dependent. I can understand that this is to make the game more realistic, but it's just something that is pretty much a pain in the tuckus. You can supposedly plant lots of flowers that will help the grass come back, but come on... not all players want to spend hours maintaining their towns- they want to PLAY! (My house is a great example of that- my mom & sister don't mind spending time maintaining everything, but my niece & I just want to get out there & play around.)
Overall, this is something I'd recommend for most AC fans. For the newbies, this game will be illuminating- they'll more than likely love it. For the AC fans though, we won't find much new stuff here. It'll be mostly for the novelties.
Customer Review: low adventure, but fun
Summary: 5 Stars
very relaxed game
do things at your own pace
real time is cool
the random events constantly draw you back
good for people who aren't so talented at traditional video games
