One of my first GC games.

Yay Animal Crossing! Fun game! The 24 hour clock stretches out events and gameplay to the point where you cant possibly find everything there is in a short period of time as with traditional games. There are always things to do and the game reacts to your actions. No two games are ever alike, a randomizer feature determines that. Places on the map, villagers, starting conditions, even your face are all different. You can be nice or mean as you see fit. There is very little structured play and gamers will find that they have the freedom to do almost anything they can imagine. The possibilities when more human players are involved is even more tremendous. The game can be played with any level of cunning, skill, or fun. You start out working for Tom Nook and you have to do small tasks for him. Once those are finished youre free from him. You then have to pay off your house by earning money from selling sea shells, fossils, finding money in trees, planting trees and selling the fruit for money, etc. Your house grows each time you pay it off. You gain rooms and floors and rooms can increase in size, too, allowing you to place more furniture in the house. In the game you can buy clothes to wear, umbrellas, or even make designs for said items. You can buy furniture for your house. Theres endless things to buy like beds, cabinets, sofas, televisions, clocks, tables, chairs, etc. You can also go around town and do things like catching bugs, fishing, digging for fossils, plant trees and flowers, etc. When it snows you can find snow balls and make two different sizes and put one on top the other and make a snow man! The game runs on the clock of the Gamecube, as mentioned before and if you dont play for a while and come back, your house will be infested with cockroaches. So you have to run around in your house and step on them. Sometimes youll even have to move the furniture. There are many many different neighbors in your town. Theres penguins, rhinos, chipmunks, cats, dogs, ducks, etc. If you dont interact with them enough, in time, theyll move away to another town. You also gain new neighbors throughout the game. I think thats enough explaining the game -_- The sound is annoying but good. When animals talk its a squeaky fast noise. But you can buy music that you play in your house which is neat. Theres also NES games that you can get! Graphics are good for the time. Characters look good, rain looks good, snow looks good. As far as replay value goes, I wouldnt ever consider erasing my file to play again. Overall, Animal Crossing will last you a long time. Its very addictive and fun.
