Pros: One of The Most Unique Games I've Played, Real Time Clock, Free Memory Card 59
Cons: Only Fun To Play For About An Hour Each Day; Maybe Even Less
Nintendo has always been known to release some of the best games in the world, but it's only once in a great while that this company takes a risk, what I mean by taking a risk is by bringing one of their more... "Japanese Oriented" games to the North...

Own Your Own Home for $30

by glake Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Dec 02 '03
Pros: Surprisingly FUN Alternate Reality game. Relaxing and addictive. Literally YEARS of game play.
Cons: Some repetitiousness. A few tasks, like letter writing, are tedious.
I’ve read many reviews claiming that this game has no goals and nothing to do. Yet the people who write that also seem to like the game. I think they like it because there is so much to do! It’s just that the activities are much lower key than ...

Animal Crossing: Nintendo' First Real Bomb

by LaughingTarget Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Sep 13 '02
Pros: Uh...can play old NES games, but I have them all already.
Cons: Sounds, graphics, annoying characters, sheer lack of anything to do, real time clock.
Animal Crossing is Nintendo's answer to The Sims. Their real life simulator takes it one step forward by adding events based on real time, and in the same note, backs up the realism by making everyone and everything an animal of sorts.

Animal Crossing: An Addictive Gift to the Cube... Wrapped in Bland Paper

Unexpectingly Addictive

by samwisegamgee , Nov 09 '02
Pros: Cute music and characters, fun, possibility of obtaining old NES games
Cons: REALLY ADDICTIVE
When my roommate first bought this game I thought it was really cute. All of my roommates created houses (1 gamecard can hold one town which can house 4 people/characters) within the first 3 days. By the third day we were hooked. Our television never...

Intuitive and excellent
by wormwormboy ,Jan 18 '07
Pros: A brand new game like nothing you've ever played before in real time
Cons: Things to do a day are limited
Animal Crossing may sound like an odd title considering you spend most of your time feung shweing your house and running errands for townsfolk. However any feeling of regret to buy this game are completely unfounded. It will last you years and years which is exactly what has happened to me. I bought the game when it came out and years later I still play it.

I am Addicted To This Game
by leslie73 ,Mar 12 '06
Pros: fun to play all day and night.
Cons: cant go online with this version
I heard about this game from my sister and thought I would give it a try. I am so addicted to it now. It is in real time so when it is daylight here it is on the game also. There is so much you can do on the game. One thing I really loved about it is that it came with a free memory card. Also if you have another person that has a saved game from Animal Crossing on one of your friends memory cards you can take a train to visit their town. My son made his own town and I can go explore his town. You also get a job with Mr. Nook's who gives you work to do so you can get bells (money) to pay for items you want. You can buy plants and furniture. If you love role playing games I would definately get this game.

Animal Crossing = My Happy Place
by billay55 ,Jun 16 '04
Pros: -countless fun animal characters -clock time -your own house
Cons: -sounds get old after long periods of time -not enough to do
I LOVE THIS GAME. This is my favorite game for the gamecube so far - it's so innocently addictive!!!! Although if you play it every day (like I do) then it gets old, you don't have that much to do each day. The graphics are mediocre, and the sounds do get annoying, but it's a lot of fun to sit back, relax, and work your network of neighbors and nemesis's after a day of slicing deku flower biting things with Link or squirting muddy villagers with mario. This game is so relaxing! Just take a breath, take a minute to smell the roses, or fish in the ocean, or run errands for your neighbors. Granted, only a few select people can enjoy this game, it's very different from other video games - there is absolutely no way you can 'beat' this game, and that's one of the factors that makes it so relaxing - and the element of real time playing into this makes it so much more realistic and relative

Encourages continued game play despite the fact there is no real "Goal"
by thepianoman ,Jun 10 '05
Pros: cute and fun, gives reason to continue game play
Cons: animals repeat phrases frequently, some slight errors with the game
Completely addictive game. My boyfriend and I play it together (even though we may be too old to play this game) and we both have a great time goofing off, writing letters to the other characters. It's great that there are special "events" that happen in the game, gives you a reason to keep coming back throughout the year, because game play would get a little tiring after a month or so of game play. If you improve your town, there are new and exciting things which can happen, which really is encouraging to keep game play up. This is a great way to kill time. And it's actually good to sometimes leave it alone for a few months, because when you come back there is so much to "do" that you feel encouraged to pick up the game again.

Animal Crossing, not just a game for the children.
by leighkorn ,Mar 19 '07
Pros: Fun for all ages and addictive in the good way.
Cons: After awhile the game angles tend to make me get nauseated.
What's as good and as similar as The Sims 2? Imagine twisting it about in a more child oriented game complete with animals and you have Animal Crossing for GameCube.

Even being a twenty-five year old female, I've found this video games to be one of my favorites thus far for the Nintendo Gamecube. It's child oriented gaming atmosphere that truly does mean fun for all ages.

Name your animal and town as you embark on an adventure of independence. Make friends with your fellow neighbors, watch the seasons change, pick fruit from the fruit trees, send off mail at the local post office, pay off loans as you build onto your house, buy items for your house amongst other things from the local shop. Even fish, dig for fossils and catch flying insects to sell or donate to the local museum.

A New Life
by baka_frostburn ,May 18 '04
Pros: Great Depth, High Replay
Cons: May be too little to do at times
This game is basically like starting a new life. Since it runs on real time, it is a commitment to keep up with. If you leave your town for a while and come back, it will be full with roaches and weeds. This is only a minor setback to an excellent game.

The whole likability of this game is the extreme customization. You can choose anything, from your town melody to your house layout. This feature is what keeps me coming back to this game. You can play it for 15 minutes a day and you will be fine, but it is also a very good thing to do when you are bored. Just go fishing or something.

In recent news, Nintendo has announced ACDS, a follow-up to animal crossing that will be on Nintendo's new system, the DS (Dual-Screen). This game is rumored to have a feature of importing your GC town onto the DS. IF you are excited about that, why not start your town now?

I personally enjoy Animal Crossing it is a fun single player game. Every single time I play it I just can't stop. I enjoy the cheat codes and all the animals. You should try it!

Time to lead an independent life!
by racegirl72 ,Jul 18 '05
Pros: This game is totally customizable!
Cons: several glitches, if u can find them!
This game lets you pick of one of the 4 houses available, and decorate it any way you like, from tables, stereo's, to couches! You can be a male or female, name your character, and your town! You can pick own town theme song, go shopping, run errands, or just relax and go fishing! When you start out, your house is really small, but as you pay off your debts, you get your house expanded! What's really cool, is you can pick the color of your roof, your wallpaper, carpeting, and chose your own wardrobe! There are 40 bugs, 40 fish, and 25 fossils to collect, or donate to the museum.

Animal Crossing
by swimminangel ,Jan 02 '05
Pros: Make friends Get bigger houses Visit other people Good graphics
Cons: None that I could think of.
This game is fun but that is just a matter of opinion. Like if you are really into battling games and fighting you probably won't like this game! But if you like games that are almost like real life than this is probably a good game for you. I bought this game because one time when I had gone to my friend's house she was renting it and I liked it so I looked for it until I found it then I bought it. A lot of my friends also like it! My one friend got addicted to it she liked it so much and she doesn't like many games. I like that every town is different so if you have a friend that has it the town is going to be a lot different and have a lot of different animals live there.

A Must Have for the GameCube
by dafact ,Jan 30 '06
Pros: A rated E game that is truly FUN
Cons: You need a memory card
This game is for younger kids (under 10) but I notice my teenage nephews, my girlfriend, and myself end up playing it. It is addicting as you find new things in a different part of the town depending on the time and month. I recommend this game to a parent who is looking for a
non-violent game. My six year old son loves it and it helps
him on his reading. The whole idea is to move into a town, make friends in the town, improve the town so animals start moving in, and work to pay off your house (in Bells). The town is stored on a memory card (seperate purchase) and you can swap towns/ memory card with another person and visit their town and collect rare finds in their town and make new friends.

The map is some what expandable if you have a gameboy and a gameboy link cable. You can visit an island to collect fruits, insects, or fish.

Highly Addictive
by mprice37 ,Oct 27 '04
Pros: Addicting, great learning tool about earning and spending money.
Cons: Hard to set up travel town, to many extras needed.
This game is highly addictive and grabs you once you start playing. I first thought it was stupid when my daughter brought it home from the rental store, but then got into it and started playing it more then her. I bought the game and am looking to get the connecting cord for the gameboy to go to the island. It's fun and you can play it forever, but I wouldn't recommend for those late nighters. The other animals go to sleep and the stores closed so there isn't a whole lot to do. You can play a long time trying to get your house rating up and doing favors for other animals.

Animal Crossing
by lilskatergirl ,Jul 26 '04
Pros: Something to do I guess
Cons: - Real time - Overall boringness
This game was okey. It was too boring for me because there wasn't enough to do.

It was super easy, and took loads of time because it's in "real time", which means it runs in the same time as real life. So if you got on at 3:00 on March 4th that's what it would be in the game too. You would think that was kind of cool, but after a while it gets really really old.

After you are done paying for your house theres nothing to do, but walk around. This game was really really bad, and I would not suggest it to anybody under the age of 8. If your just starting to game, and you are like 5 years old it's fine, but I need something more thrilling.

Kids, don't buy it during the school year...
by hinote ,Jan 30 '05
Pros: -Good Family Game
Cons: -Can distract from school work
...if you plan on passing your classes. Animal Crossing is a highly addicting game that will keep you hooked for months. It's a great family game, could possibly teach younger kids basic economies, like the idea of the stock market (stocks are represented as "turnips" that you can buy every Sunday morning, and sell Monday through Saturday). No blood or gore, but there is comedy implemented here there. I recommend getting this game sometime around the beginning of summer vacation (if you're a kid, that is).

Animal Crossing is a terrific game for any video game player!
by phanatic2003 ,Sep 22 '05
Pros: The game includes over 15 NES games that you can play if you get bored.
Cons: You can't play online with other players or have multiple players in the same town.
Animal Crossing is an almost unending game with almost unlimited amounts of good times. The game functions in real time, seasons and many holidays occur in the game like they do in the real world, and you get special items from the mayor on these days. You can catch bugs, collect over 700 items for your house or wardrobe, or you can go fishing, or visit an island with a Game Boy Advance. The overall game is a fantastic experience that has me begging Nintendo for a quick release of its upcoming sequel on the Nintendo DS.

Animal Crossing: Addictive Fun!
by caitlinjean ,Aug 11 '04
Pros: Interactive, Decorating House, Catching fish and bugs, Fun for all ages!
Cons: Requires frequent gameplay, Soundtrack slightly Graphics could be too cutsie for an average gamer
A fun and interactive game that will have you playing for years to come. Getting money is very hard at first, and will make most give up right there but once you get the hang of it (and a good cheat website) you will be among the high-rollers of your town. House decorating comes with endless possibilities... the only reason it doesn't get a perfect score is because it requires gameplay often or you lose track of what's happening in the town (not to mention the cockroaches that end up infesting your house!)

by suz23 ,Nov 30 '05
Pros: All ages can enjoy it, relaxing to play, keeps kids interested, good lessons
Cons: Slow paced, but that might be a plus too
I bought this game for my daughter for Christmas last year, but all three of my kids (ages 11, 9, and 6) have enjoyed it so much that when we misplaced it in a move I actually went out and bought another copy. They love all aspects of this game and it's fun to watch them save up to build and furnish their houses (as well as to see what they choose to spend their money on!)

The Most Addicting Game Ever
by budgiegrrl ,Jul 17 '06
Pros: You get to design your room and it runs on real time.
Cons: Items are fairly expensive and you must work a lot to get an awesome home.
Animal Crossing is a very good game, but it requires patience. You name your character, get a home,make friends, furnish your dwelling, mail letters,and receive a job at the general store. Eventually, the shop owner let's you go, and you must sell your findings to get money (bells) so you can afford to pay off debts and expand your home. You can also use your bells to buy furniture and other useful items at the general store, but these types of items can also be acquired by doing tasks for villagers.

Animal Crossing for Gamecube has blown the gaming industry away! You can make your own clothes,buy your own house and goto your friends town! You also make friends with all the villagers and they will always be there for you. Your town has everything that you could want. I give this game a 10/10!

by mbenn_dt3000 ,Oct 24 '02
This game is not an action game much like Pikmin, but it is kept interesting by new characters and items appearing everyday. It changes when the weather changes and keeps with real time. You can travel to other towns and talk with all the characters, you can go fishing, bug catching, and tree shaking to earn bells. You have to pay off loans for remodeling on your home and can shop at the local store. I find it very amusing and it is a game I can share with my daughter. This is a good game for family involvement, with out violence and can make you laugh.

by gcube_dt3000 ,Oct 25 '02
While not for everybody, Animal Crossing is a really fun game. You get to live in your own town where there are almost limitless new pieces of furniture to put into your house, new neighbors to meet, and festivals and parties happening on a daily basis. This game makes great use to the internal clock and something happens every day, the only downside is if you don't play for awhile your house gets a cockroach infestation. The graphics could use some work, but overall it is a very well done game.

Animal Crossing is a fun game that you should buy. Theres tons of events in this game. There events for all the holidays, and some made up ones. There's tons of items to collect that will keep you busy for a while. There's even a musuem that you can donate fossils, fish, insects, and paintings too. You can also do erands for your animal neighbors. They will give you a gift for doing them a erand. There's ton's of animals that come to your town and you can get clothes, carpets, wallpaper, and lots of other items form them, that you can't get form Tom Nook's must the time. Plus there's a HRA (Happy Room Acdamey) which rates the layout of your house.

This game is awsome! It is the most addicting game I have ever played! There are so many things you can do it's not even funny. Towns people move in almost everyday. They always have chores you can do everyday. The neatest thing on the game is the timing 24-7. Everyday of every month the time is perfect not to mention the festivities. But it does have it's downsides. The graphics are not to great, but overall I would have to give this game a solid 5.0 for a terrific game.

by katie_dt3004 ,Jan 24 '03
Animal Crossing is a pretty striat forward game. If you like the Sims, this game is probably twice as good and decent. There are some ways to get into trouble. Like when a character is asleep, you can shove them aside and dig holes around their house so they can't get in, they'll get really mad at you. All my cousins and friends think this game is really gay! I so don't agree! I Hopefully you will enjoy this game as much as I do. I have to kick my brother off of Metriod to play it so often.

by chris_dt3001 ,Jan 07 '03
Animal Crossing is a good game,but after a while it can get boring.As for the graphics. Lets just say that the people who designed it could have made it a little more,Gamecube worthy.Its more like a really great N-64 games graphics.The sound is great though.I like the fact that in my city,there are different animals than in my friends city,and that over time,some animals will just pack up and leave. That is,if you've ever been to another city in the video game.Of course,new and different animals will move in and take their place. And sometimes the animals will give you a game-platform with a really old game that you can play by pressing the A Button while facing it.But whats with the mayor? I mean,its an old turtle for cryin' out loud! I would definitly recomend this game. Alot of my buds have never played it,yet they say its a stupid game .When I compare this to The Sims this is alot more wholesome.
