You make the whole story, as you and up to three other players move into a town and just live life. Befriend your animal neighbors, decorate your house with cool furnishings, fill up your wardrobe, get to know the local wildlife, hop on a bus to visit the new city and just explore the world. There are a million different ways to play. Every charming animal character has a personality: some are grouches while others are chatterboxes. And there's no final goal or high score to hit. The game keeps going for as long as you want to play, and your town will always be there when you return. Move into town, buy a house and then do whatever you want. Time and seasons pass as they do in the real world, so there's always something different happening. Collect more than 2,400 items, go fishing for rare and interesting fish, catch all kind of cool bugs, dig up dinosaur fossils and buried treasure, hang out with other players or spend the day in the city. There's so much to do, and you have all the time in the world to explore it all. DS Suitcase Mode The DS Suitcase lets you carry your character from your Wii console to a friend's, thus giving people without an Internet connection the ability to experience multiplayer modes. Additionally, you can move your character from Animal Crossing: Wild World on Nintendo DS and play as him/her in Animal Crossing: City Folk. Key Game Features
There's Always Something New To Do: In the living, breathing world of Animal Crossing: City Folk, days and seasons pass in real time, so there's always something to discover. Catch fireflies in the summer, go trick-or-treating on Halloween or hunt for eggs on Bunny Day. If you're in the mood for something a little faster paced, take a bus to a new urban city area that's unique to Animal Crossing: City Folk. There you can catch a show at the theater or check out the sales at Gracie's boutique. But if you don't show your face back home for too long, your neighbors will miss you. Play With and Hear Up to Four Friends: Up to four people from your household can live and work together to build the perfect town. Design clothes and patterns, write letters and post messages on the bulletin board for each other, or play online using your broadband connection and invite up to three friends to visit your town using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. With the new optional Wii Speak microphone (sold separately), it's like you're all in the same room. The microphone sits atop the sensor bar and picks up the conversation of everyone in the room to encourage a more inclusive experience. Get to Know Your Neighbors: The heart of Animal Crossing: City Folk is building relationships with the animals in your town as well as with other players. Befriend your animal neighbors by exchanging letters, gifts and favors. Animals can also move from town to town, bringing their memories and stories from their old towns with them. And since animals are notoriously loose-lipped, they spill all the juicy details. Express Your Personal Style: Customize your town, your house and yourself by collecting bugs, fish, fossils, art, furniture, clothes and accessories. You can also go to the salon in the city to change your hairstyle and get a Mii makeover. Plus, if you design clothes in the tailor's shop, animals will wear them and maybe even bring them to other towns. Your Neighbors
Familiar faces such as K.K. Slider, Tom Nook, Blathers and Mr. Resetti all appear, as well as a bunch of new characters like Festivale host Pavé and Bug-Off judge Bud. Many characters who occasionally visited your town in previous Animal Crossing games have now set up permanent shop in the city, so you can see them anytime. Special Powers, Weapons, Moves & Features: Use the Wii Remote pointer to type letters, use items, draw designs for clothing or wallpaper, drag clothing or items onto your characters, interact with animals or objects, or lead your character around the world. Use Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to hang out in real time with up to three of your friends. You can also send them e-mails and text messages from the game. Play at different times of the year to experience different activities, holidays and seasons. And when visiting a friend in another country, experience the holidays native to their culture. Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Up to four people can play together in real time via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The host opens his or her gate to allow friends into the town, where they can perform all sorts of activities: fish, write letters to townsfolk, shop at the store, swap items, play hide-and-seek ... anything. Up to four players can interact in real-time, communicating via text chat, mic chat and emoticons. WiiConnect24: Using WiiConnect24, you can buy and sell items to friends by participating in silent auctions, view actual players' homes in the Happy Room Academy office or send letters to other players' towns.

I highly recommend this product to anyone who has that wild creativity side and is very festive when it comes to the holidays =)

I really like that aspect of it. I've played the GameCube and DS versions of this game. The Wii version takes the "special visitors" and keeps them in the city where one can visit them at any time. I also like the aspect where one can take a Mii from out of the game and go to the salon and get a Mii head instead of only a new haircut. This game hasn't gotten all the love from my family that it deserves yet - but this game has staying power and will be something we will play for years to come, I'm certain.

There are limited things you can do. We were given this game as a present and my boys, 7 and 8, have had no interest in it at all. The graphics are not great in comparison to other games. I tried it and also found it very boring. It is a real time community which is very small. The characters talk in gibberish so you have to be able to read in order to know what they are saying. Very boring and does not make use at all of the wii platform.

If you have played the DS Animal Crossing you will notice the differences but really it's the same concept. I haven't touched the game in over a week or more. It's still fun for me without. This game is like many online have reviewed it as being pretty much the same as Animal Crossing: Wild World. I think someone JUST discovering Animal Crossing will enjoy the game as much as I did when I first bought the GameCube version. However, doing the same things over and over again is getting boring (building up the house, collecting all the fish, collecting all the fossils, paintings and trying to have a perfect town-- it's all the same).

It was my first purchase for my Wii because I knew it'd last me a long time considering there is something to do on it almost everyday or something to look forward to monthly.

again with some new things added of course.

Adding the WiiSpeak really isn't that great of a new feature considering majority of the game itself is still the same.

Except for the WiiSpeak capability, however, I didn't even purchase that for this game and have no plans to.

I really wish they had added a lot more to do than what, I at least I have found.

I can't say I am disappointed but then again I sort of am when I realize how much they could have changed or how much more they could have added to the game to make it THAT much better.

It's still a great game despite that, just way too similar to the DS version and even GameCube version for me.

I guess your purchase depends on how much you liked the game to begin with.

If they ever come out with a new Animal Crossing and update it A LOT, that is the only way I'd even bother purchasing it.

Ever seen the movie Wristcutters. This version of AC is especially neat, cause if you're really bored you can head to the City, where you can blow a week's worth of virtual fishing on a virtual sofa, or if you're really lucky, you can buy a balloon from the fabled Balloon Man. Otherwise, you keep doing the same tasks over and over so that you can buy bigger, better things to clutter your house with, and none of it is of any consequence.

Real life, but worse.I'll admit I had fun the first time I played Animal Crossing, but after a week of pawning off fruit and fish to pay off my mortgage, i got pretty damn bored. No skill or thinking required. A guy kills himself and ends up in a world where "Everything's the same, just a little worse." That's Animal Crossing in a nutshell.

Hey, that sounds familiar.Basic principle, the more time you spend on Animal Crossing, the more stuff you amass. Apparently, this game's only goal is to collect "stuff": furniture, clothes, trinkets, whatever. Anything you can't wear or use to furnish your house, you sell or donate.

Besides buying and selling, you can pull weeds, talk to the neighbors who speak from a bank of about 3 repetitive phrases, maybe sit on their furniture for 10 seconds. That's right: if you see him around, you get to buy a balloon.Honestly, if I wanted to spend any time doing all this, I'd do it in real life, where the rewards are real and the people are interesting.
