This game is almost an exact copy of the old Animal Crossing on Gamecube. The items and some missions are the same. the other negative thing about this is that it might be kind of boring when you don't have any friends who also have this game, meaning you're by yourself on the game. No friends. Anyways, this game is really cool because you can use it with Wii Speak, and communicate with other online friends by simply taliking! I only suggest you buy this game if you have friends to play online with.
What's great about it: You can always find something new to do, you can play with friends around the globe.
What's not so great: Extremely similar to the old Animal Crossing, gets a little boring if you don't have friends to play with.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is the best game out of 10 we got! Everyone loves it. We didn't get the wii speak with it and you really should so you don't have to type and type when you have your friends over, etc. So, we ended up getting it later. I have to fight the kids to get off of it. You definitely won't be disappointed in this game
What's great about it: Everything - the best Fun!
What's not so great: Nothing - just make sure you get the wii speak with it
I would recommend this to a friend!

We bought this game for Christmas after reading such great reviews and let me tell you they we right. We love it, My husband, and my two older kids (9, 4) enjoy playing, however my two year old doesn't play...yet. But loves to watch us play. The kids love to fish and shop and interact with all of the charchters around the town. There always seems to be something going on. Fishing tournaments, bug catching, things that kids like to do. We also bought the guide for $20, that was a little over priced but gave us great tips and prices on things. It is something we also use to track the fish and bugs we have caught. I have to say it has been our new family favorite game. I HIGHLY recomend it. We have not visited other firends town yet because none of our friends own the game. Even with that it has been a blast.
What's great about it: Fun, great way to waste time, even fun to watch
What's not so great: single player city life can be a bit borning.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fun and addicting game with one small problem

This is a very fun game that can become very addicting. You and your family will want to play as much as you can just to see which neighbor is outside; which fish / bug is available. As there are no set goals, you are free to play this game anyway you want (fish all day; or collect money to expand your house; or send letters to your neighbors).
The beauty of this game is watching your town change throughout the day (the sun sets and the stars come out) and throughout the year (snow falls; leaves change; spring comes with new insects) - all in real time.
If I had to summarize this game - this game is like the Harvest Moon series (daily chores; make friends; never ending play) with a lot more items to collect (there are over 100 neighbors to meet; over 500 pieces of furniture to collect; numerous fish, bugs, and fossils to collect for your museum).
There are two drawbacks. The first is that the game does occur in real time – so if you are out on Saturday night, you will never get to see the very adorable performance of a singing dog. Or if you work late, the stores might be closed before you can play. The good news is that you can adjust the time when you start to address this time problem.
The second drawback is not so easily corrected. The more you and your family play - the more your grass / snow will disappear. I would suggest researching this problem on the many boards that have been started about this problem. So while you can play this game anyway you want, there are consequences as this can reduce your once beautiful town to a town with only plain brown dirt and no grass.
What's great about it: fun and addicting; will find yourself wanting to play whenever you can just to see which friend, fish, bug is out
What's not so great: only 1 city per wii (w/ 4 houses); must be very CAREFUL or snow / grass will disappear
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is a great game and there is always something to do. Great online multiplayer and you can bring your character with you via your DS. This game is real time so a day passed in the game is a day passed in real life.
The graphics are actually pretty good but they are just the Wii style whichis more animation then real life but they are overall really clear.
What's great about it: It has brand new features like the town.
What's not so great: Very similar to Wild World but a lot better.
I would recommend this to a friend!

overall this is a great game! the only thing bad about it is that it takes 580,00 "bells" to pay off the final level of your house and it takes forever to do so! but, after you play the game for that long if you are new to Animal Crossing, it gets boring, even for a veteran like myself i have/played all the Animal Crossings and after about 6 months they get boring and i just drop them for a while then pick them up later, but over all it is pretty good! great job nintendo!
What's great about it: very easy to set up, story line isnt that detailed but it is pretty good, so many things to customize!
What's not so great: hard to pay off house, can get a little bit boring after a long time.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Since buying this game, out Cable TV has not been on at all. Chores have been neglected and we don't get enogh sleep. We spend way to much time as a family and not enough time fighting, arguing and eating. LOL! Kidding sorta, but this game is fun for all ages (kids who can read) and beware that it's so addicting. We have started acting out the game in real life. It's so much fun. I wish everyone I knew had it so we could visit each others towns.
What's great about it: Challenges, animal talks, gifts, clothing, shopping, accessories, fishing, bugs, trees, all of it
What's not so great: only one player can play at a time, we all fight for the control :)
I would recommend this to a friend!

You can only play once player at a time. If you are connecting with a friend online, it may take a couple tries to connect. Sometimes it may not connect at all. I lost my connect with my friends online a couple times. When this happens, you lose your progress for that time you played. I never had this problem with any other online games. Maybe it's the Wii server. Other than that, I love this game. I haven't got board with it yet.
What's great about it: Very addictive. I couldn't stop playing for the first two months.
What's not so great: Only one player. Wii has a hard time connecting to others online.
I would recommend this to a friend!
