This is a very cute game. I got it for my kids and they just seem to love it. It's great because you can make up to four characters. So my kids just take turns playing the game with their own character. How you can decorate your house and customize your characters seems to get my kids excited. It would be nicer if you could customize how your character looked from the start instead of having your character made by answering questions. The game is also too addicting. It's all my kids play all day.

This game has many different goals to achieve. Some of them require that you have grass. Here's the problem, anytime you walk on your grass it dies and the only way to fix it is to not walk on it for 6 months. I loved this game at first, but all my grass died and it looked like I was living in a desert. It was so ugly that we decided to start over. The grass started dying immediately so I did some research and it's a feature Nintendo put in that thousands of players are upset about. If you want to keep your grass you have to put more work into keeping it than playing your game and it prevents you from making your goals. My daughter and I were in competition to see who got all the fish, bugs, etc first. But I found in my research that you should only load the game once a day to minimize grass death. The suggestion is that all players use the same character and don't turn the game off til you're done for the day. This makes the game frustrating and a bad choice for children. I now have a $50 game that neither my daughter or I play. I seriously suggest that people don't buy this game until after Nintendo fixes this design flaw. This "animal tracks" feature prevents you from playing the game the way it's supposed to be played. It should be a fun game, but it's not, it's just frustrating.
What's not so great: has a feature which defeats the purpose of the game

Its relly good and everyone gets there own home! Also there are tons of items, the city,wifi and much more. Sadly, because i have the ds version this game is very boring, so if you do have the ds verson like me DONT buy it because you will be disapionted about how its so simular. Iplayed this game for a while and got rerally bored. BUT if youve never played any animal crossing games before your sure to love this game!
What's great about it: It really fun and there are lots of things to do
What's not so great: If you have the Ds version its WAY to the same

I think this game has excellent graphics and I really like the new features, such as the opportunities to visit the other city for shopping, design your own constellations, and use your own Mii as your player. But there are quite a few things that I did not like about this game.
I didn't think the game was very kid-friendly because of the way the animals often insulted you. I wasn't offended by it, but I'm sure any younger kid (4-9) who might play this game would be. But other than that, this game is okay for children to play, as long as they have a long attention span. My reasoning for that is because I was bored with this game after the first hour of exploring. I thought it was much too similar to Animal Crossing Wild World for the Nintendo DS. I've been trying to sell this game for a while with no luck. It's definitely not a huge improvement from Wild World at all, even if the two are on seperate consoles. The new features weren't enough to call this game an improvement in my opinion. But, if you've never played Animal Crossing Wild World before, then go ahead and buy this game because you've got nothing to be dissapointed in. The dissapointment for me is mainly coming from the lack of improvement in Animal Crossing since the last version of the game. But in my opinion, Animal Crossing Wild World for DS was a much better buy for me.
I also didn't think there was much of a storyline to this game, but that's not usually something I care about when looking for a game to play. I usually only play games based on the graphics and how fun other people are saying it is. As you can see, I didn't think this game was very fun compared to Wild World. City Folk wasn't really something I hadn't seen before being a player of both WW and CF. Okay, enough of comparing Wild World and City Folk, now you can make your descision based on the reviews if you'll buy this or not.
Good luck with whatever purchases you choose to make, and have fun either way!
What's great about it: Very good graphics, fun to visit the other city, new constellations and Mii feature.
What's not so great: Animals insult you, exactly the same as Wild World for DS, quickly becomes boring.

the game looks to be fun i have helped my daughter play if there are other players set up you can visit them while you're playing and leave things at their house.

This game is great for the first month or so. Afterward, it gets kind of boring, unless you are playing with a friend. It is great for younger kids, my niece is 8, and she loves playing it. I will say though, that after I bought the game guide I knew a lot more about the game then if I wouldnt have bought it.
What's great about it: It's fun, and exciting.
What's not so great: I had to get the game guide in order to find out a lot about the game.
