Animal Crossing: City Folk Review

December 1st 2008 14:36


The original Animal Crossing game was released for Game Cube, and after the release of the Nintendo Wii, there has been talk about converting Animal Crossing from GameCube to Wii. Well, it's here and it's your decision as to whether or not it is a series video game. I mean, the game really has no end and the entire game is based on gardening, shopping, fishing, and chatting with neighbors. There's not much to it, and serious gamers probably won't find much out of the game, if you ask me.

Animal Crossing: City Folk doesn't claim itself to be a full-fledged sequel video game, but it does hint at it with its subtitle. But, for Animal Crossing fans, the game is made for those who missed out the first two times and for those people who just want a new game.

For the most part Animal Crossing City Folk, is the same thing as the original. It just has a new sub-title. Although, the typical "if it isn't broke, don't fix it" line is usually in play, with video games, there really needs to be some improvement and upgrade.

From the start of the game, you're put to work, and you have to learn the ropes. The game randomly generates a question-and-answer session on the bus trip to the village so that you can get started learning how to perform duties such as planting flowers, deliverine packages, advertising the shop, and writing letters to the neighbor.

Once you've completed your dutes, you are able to do whatever you want. But, you don't want to forget to pay your mortgage because Tom Nook (the laborer) was nice enough to get you all set up in your own home, and you will need to pay him back using the monetary system of bells, which are earned by selling fish that you've caught, selling fruit you've grown, and selling items that you've collected.

Once you start learning the little nuances of the village, things will start to open up and you will need to visit the village more times each day. Villagers will send you on tasks that you must perform before a certain hour, and you'll need to adjust to climate changes and your duties. IE during colder weather the number of fish you catch will not be the same as during warmer weather; plus, you'll want to try to find fruits and whatnot that are not normal for your village, as you'll get top dollar for them.

Animal Crossing City Folk offers online play which is important because as you play in your village, you'll find that there are a number of others who are doing the same thing, working on different clocks and calendar settings than you, which means that they are able to grow different fruits than you because they are on different weather patterns.

The Wii version of Animal Crossing is pretty much the same as the DS version of the original, in terms of online gameplay, except the Wii improved a few things: the villagers now stay in their houses and wander around as if you weren't online, and the Wii Speak support enables you to voice chat. The voice chat does enhance the online gaming because you can find buddies in the Animal Crossing village.

One slight enhancement that you will notice is the widescreen support, Wii remote motion control, and an upgraded art program enabling you to create shirt textures. If you have the DS Animal Crossing game, you can even transfer your character over to the Wii.

For the most part, though, Animal Crossing City Folk for Wii is just a blend between the GameCube and DS games. The Wii version offers a larger village scale and smoother framerate than the GameCube version, but that's about it. You won't get much new out of the Wii version of Animal Crossing.
