Promised being a whole different experience but ended up being more similar to Wild World than it should've been. The city wasn't as special as it could've been, and I feel the shop area from New Leaf did pretty much the same thing. The game from the franchise I've played the least, by far. Never actually used the Wii Speak even though I own it... and Discord exists now.
i remember getting this game when i was very little, could never make it off the train station because i didn't know i had to point the wii remote at the screen in order to move ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
years later i eventually returned to it after playing new leaf a lot, wanting to see what i missed out on. turns out, it was a lot! city folk offers a classic experience that i recommend every wii owner to go through for themselves. you'll be wrapped up trying to catch all the fish and bugs, digging up fossils, customizing your house and paying off that goddamn raccoon or whatever he is
for a game called city folk, the city gimmick leaves a lot to be desired. there's definitely a lot of things that can keep you occupied the first few visits, but after a while you start to realize that there's nothing all too important over there.
regardless, city folk delivers on that pure animal crossing charm so many people love it for. marking it as completed because i feel satisfied in what i managed to accomplish in my town over the months i played it. i love this game

The worse sibling to Wild World, but I couldn't help but fall in love with it, and booting this game up on my CRT to let the soft, calming vibes wash over me is therapeutic.
Somehow, at least for me, City Folk inspires that decadent feeling from older games better than WW, it's like you're locked inside a bittersweet, lonely time bubble when you sit down to play it and get immersed.
It was the first AC game I played so maybe a little bit of that is the rose-tinted glasses, but the music, the homely small town you're set into, staying up in the night exploring, the friends that shape your town - it was a great experience.
New Leaf takes the crown as the best AC game imo, with the amount of content it has and what you can do in that game, so City Folk pales in comparison. But if you haven't played an AC game before and have a Wii lying around, this isn't a bad pick at all.

In 9th grade I broke my index finger playing dodgeball. I did catch the ball that broke my finger. I went to the doctor a month later (my family thought it was jammed) and they explained I had to have surgery. We bought this game for my recovery, and I played it occasionally for 4 more years. Every time I played I thought about my broken finger. I completed the fish in the museum, which was my pride and joy.
The first console edition of Animal Crossing that allowed players to invite others to their towns whilst using the Wii Speak Microphone. Fleshed out game that introduced the city "hub" area that had fun secrets to explore, as well as a long catalog of items and clothes to customize your character and town.
I'm not sure why, but I can play this game for hours and hours a day when I'm really into an Animal Crossing phase! My sister never really liked the older games and whenever I try to explain to her what stuff I even spend my time doing in it... I don't know man! It's just relaxing and fun to walk around, collect stuff, catch creatures, make designs, sort my flowers, redecorate my house, write letters. When I think about it, there's not an insane amount to do, but it's a neat and creative-empowering experience where you can spend some quiet time with yourself.
This is my first experience with an Animal Crossing game, and I'm absolutely in love so far. Such a relaxing experience, oozing with character and charm. The gameplay loop is so unbelievably simple but it is perfect for short little daily bursts. Its a journal in video game form. I'm not done, and I'm gonna be keeping up with this for the foreseeable future, so I just wanted to get this out there and say I love this game so much.
