1UP: Animal Crossing: City Folk Review

1UP writes: "Somehow, despite two previous time-sucking outings into the open world of Animal Crossing -- each fully preparing me for what to expect in a sequel -- City Folk still rouses some excitement at the prospect of collecting more rare furniture, fossils, and that one elusive bug or fish. But all of this quickly subsides upon your introduction to Tom Nook, everyone's favorite predatory lender. That's when the realization quickly sets in: This is all just the same old routine with extra goodies that do little to change things in any meaningful way".

This is coming from the site that gave Wii Music an A-.

I never expected this title to be good anyways... its just the gamecube game but with a tiny online addition.
I will buy Wii Speak though.

I got the game today and having been playing all day. It isn't a bad game, since it's Animal Crossing, which is a fun game, as I said I have been playing it all day. But this isn't a new experience, it is the same game that I already played on Game Cube and DS, and the tiny changes are not enough. This was a lazy move on the part of Nintendo, and very disappointing. I could be playing one of the earlier versions and have saved $50, and I would be having the same amount of fun. Such a shame, I should have read the reviews before I made a purchase.

Hahahaha...Trumpets

Not that I'm defending Animal Crossing, because I've never been a fan of the series, but this is coming from the site that gave BK: Nuts and Bolts an A-.

Lol.

[Cheeseknight28]

Have you played Nuts & Bolts?

[Imallvol7]

Are those really pictures from the Wii version of the game. LOOKS LIKE N64!!!!

And to think Nintendo is still laughing all the way to the bank by making crap. Why do people fall for this ****.

[Bob Dole]

It's the waggle.

[qohelet]

you obviously never had an n64

[pansenbaer]

Sigh...my wife is out buying this game right now. I tried to talk her out of it, but the last game she got was Super Mario Galaxy. Sounds like a 20 or 30 buck title to me.

[poopsack]

"you wanna watch some fireworks with me?"

Looks like a PS1 game. Seriously.

[heroicjanitor]

What other company besides Nintendo gets away with doing as little as Nintendo do? This is the fourth time they've released this game...

"What other company besides Nintendo gets away with doing as little as Nintendo do?"

LMFAO! ... you are clueless

This gen they are slacking but seriously Nintendo has done A LOT for the game industry... A hell of a lot...

[Danja]

I was actually thinking this game would have been decent...considering the ones i played on Gamecube wasn't bad...

I was actually planning on buying this game for my Wii this holiday....i'll have to wait on a few more accurate reviews from other sites..

I really dont look to 1UP for there opinions on games...these days

[Maxned]

Thats the problem... this is the gamecube title but with a small online addition.

[Sari]

From what I've heard, 1UP isn't the most accurate of reviewing sites.

Anyway, I might like it. Haven't played an AC game before, so I might rent it to see how it goes.

[Jadaking]

Yea nintendo has done alot for the gaming industry, more than any other, butnintendo has done nothing more than rehash the same bullsh!t, over and over and calling it something else, basically. No other company does this. You know why, because their nintendo and thats the thing i dont like about them. I love nintendo for what they did, but know its like they dont even make games to be innovating. They just release it to make more money.

[Captain_Sony]

NO other company does remakes? I wonder how many times you've bought the same Final fantasy game. God Of War is the exact same game for 1,2 and PSP version. I bet you have no issues with those. Madden is released every year and it is the same game over and over, I bet you own Madden though.

[Steve Stardust]

They slightly improved an already proven formula.
Doesn't sound like a bad move to me.

[na2ru1]

rated it higher than Mirrors Edge and Resistance 2. 1UP is very very biased, it sickens me. The magazine is very credible and has influenced my life decision.

Screw both them games I'm getting me this f*cking Animal Crossing! ¬_¬
