This game is my obsession. I play it every day, and I have a very well built town! :) You start as a kid, (roughly 12 years of age probably) and you are moving to a brand new town. Each town is different, with different styles, animals, and fruit. You have to work for Tom Nook as a part time job at first, and he'll pay of 1,400 dollars of your house loan on your house.
This is REALLY hard to explain, but let me tell you, it's the best video game you'll ever play, if you like really fun and relaxed games! :D
It's very easy. Peppy villagers, or normal, lazy, or jock villagers are nice. But you gotta watch out for Snooty and Grumpys. There's a wiki for Animal crossing too.
It's mostly about paying a Raccoon, named Tom Nook. And living daily life packed with holidays. It's only iffy if they wifi.
The only way they would pretty much meet strangers is by the ACC. (Which can be good and bad.) ACC stands for Animal Crossing Commuinty. (However you spell it) They will give out free stuff, but they need a friend code first. Getting bells is hard, and you can get stinged by bees.
But there's nothing really bad about it.There's no cussing, or any name calling.
The snootys are just a little mean to others, but not the player. They don't namecall, just tease.
Grumpys are welll..grumpy.
i love this game and its really educational particualry in maths and life. the role models are good because none of the characters are mean or nasty and everyone is your friend.
too much reading, but it's fun to play anyway! (well to me at least...)
I personally love this game, even though I've only had it for a couple of months. It's actually a lot of fun about how you can dress up your charactor, custumize your house, and catch bugs and fish for your collection!
But one big thing that would make little kids walk away from this is IT HAS A LOT OF READING!!! WAAY TOO MUCH! All the charactors talk (they all look very cute!) a lot so this might steer away kids.
Also, it's a one player game, so you probably wouldn't invite your friends over to play it. BUT it has wi-fi where you and 3 other friends can hang out and stuff! :)
Anyway, i rate this game 8 out of 10, and i hope this review helped ya decide! ^.^
The rebirth of the popular simulation game, and the additions are quite appealing! It can help kids manage and save money and discover bugs and fish and flowers. Positive messages come from the fact that you should be social and make friends with more than just your neighbors. It shows that being mean can really set someone off, and it's not good to do. Some characters can be good role models. Your neighbors can inspire participating in events and trying new things. The workers and employees love their jobs and promote hard work. Except for Phyllis. It also gives you a taste of real life. There will be gossip and tragedies, people will move out and argue. It's a satisfying game if you wish to be relieved of the bad-tempered world around you. It can create a better person out of you by influencing kind attitude and understanding that a few neighbors implore to each other. Not to mention you can control your character with ease and the neighbors help you too! It's a simulation game with a talented view of life. Good for education and messages for anti-social kids. An addiction hard to stop.
Great game! I play the older one, too. It teaches useful money skills, facts about fish and insects, and more! It is like a Japanese kid-version of the sims kind of.
It's a really fun game. It can get boring after you've played it for 7 years, but I still play. There's no language, violence, or anything else bad for kids. You can go to a city, making City Folk uniqe to Wild World and the original, and use one of your Mii's for a Mask! Fun, and I reccomend for kids 3+.
Educational: Tom Nook, the local shopkeeper, teaches earnest saving and wise spending, as your character must pay off his mortgage and invest in Nook's merchandise.
Positive Messages: One cannot commit a crime in the game, and one can assist other character in the game with chores or sincere assignments.
Good Role Models: Mayor Tortimer, the elderly man-in-charge, shows himself on holidays and forms close friendships with his townsfolk and is always respectful and wise for his population.
My thoughts: Perfect for mid-to-older children, tweens, and even teenagers [like myself]. ;) Try it out!!
GREAT GAME! let me warn ya parents...its WAY addicting!!
in this game you are a character who can explore, design (clothes, house), and much more! the only "sexy" stuff is that hearts can appear above animal-neighbors heads, and i think the bus driver is known to kinda flirt, some characters also talk about love, romance, and "meeting a girl". this game is partly about money, spending money, making money, and giving money. there is also a fortune teller in town (in case you are anti magical whatever). but all together its a awesome game that more girls than boys enjoy, my brother plays it occasionally but doesn't like it as much as i do. he said its a iffy game. boys over 11+ would probably say it is stupid just to stay cool. boys = pride, am i right?
Common Sense is rating things WAY too high The Sims 3 is rated 15 iffy!?!?! What do they think they are doing?
I am really 10 in 2 weeks and my Mom thinks now thanks to Common Sense, the Sims 3 in ''inapropriate'' for me! Animal Crossing too! 8? the game is Not Bad for kids!
I LOVE THIS GAME !! THIS GAME IS SO GOOD I WOULD SKIN A WALRUS FOR AN EXTRA COPY . I PLAY EVERY DAY I HAVE NO REAL LIFE OR FRIENDS, BECAUSE THIS GAME IS BETTER THAN FRIENDS OR REAL LIFE. I CONSTANTLY SIT IN MY DARK BASEMENT AND HANG WITH MY BEST PAL TOM NOOK.
