    Good game, but what about a swear word filter?!

    I'm from the UK so we call this game Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City. This game is very good and it is easy to play, it gives kids social skills and most of the role models are good. There are two which aren't. Redd who is a scammer who sells items for MORE than they're real price. He also sells fake paintings. The other one isn't that bad. He is in charge of the Happy Room Academy and gets you to sign up for junk. There is one more thing. Language. The animals don't talk dirty, (one exception of 'heck') but the player can. Unlike the DS version which has a filter, the Wii version doesn't. And players can meet online! What if your child has a friend who doesn't know any swear words and yours' does. YOUR CHILD can say whatever he/she likes. It can even be f**k or s**t. Even worse...c**t. Wow! This game is not as kid-friendly as you think.

    Nintendo is pretty smart for inventing this game!

    I said that my favourite Wii game was Wii Music, and it was, but that was over a month ago and now Animal Crossing: City Folk is my favourite Wii game. I think most kids 7+ would like it because everyone in this game is nice.

    Great for ages 8 and up!

    I love this game, its an addictive game which is educational in the way your children can learn important skills with money such as saving it, and using it effectively, and it has a unique consept. Now I would recomend this game for a child that has a pretty good reading skill, as there is a lot of text in the game, but most of it is pretty simple, like the conversations so most children around 7 woulden't have a problem with it.

    Zyplexer what are you thinking!! Does your daughter even know this boy. Why haven't you taken him off her friend list. Safety is not an issue because you can only play wi-fi with people you registered by exchanging friend codes (probably over the phone). If they are swearing it is their fault not the games. If you try to type in swears the game blocks it (my friend tried it). Really why haven't you taken those boys off the friend list? I love the game.

    perfect for all ages! never run out of things to do!

    The game is rated E I think. it's a great game for all ages. my sisters will just sit and watch me play. Although I lost the game a while ago I'm planning on saving for a new one! Highly recommended. There is plenty to do in the city and town~

    This game is awesome for little kids. I played animal crossing for the gamecube when I was 6 and I learned great social skills. Now that city folk came up now when I am 14 I enjoy the old memories.

    Good, Not Great

    It is hard to control W/ the Wii-mote. In my opinion i like the DS version better, although you can access more on the Wii version.

    Anyone 7 and up will have lots of fun

    This Wii game is one of my favorites! You should try it. There is one problem though. I said 7 and up because a few of the trees have wasps and if you shake the one with wasps, they sting you and give you a swollen eye. But you can go into the nearest house with someone in it and the wasps can't get through. You collect "Bells" (that's what they call money in this game)and sell it to a Store owner named Tom Nook to get a bigger house. In the city you can make your face look like your Mii if you have enough bells. You can do many things in Animal crossing and it is a really fun game!!!!
