In my opinion, not a bad animal crossing game but definitely the worst. I think my main issue with this game is that there's too much to do at one time. What I mean is, in other animal crossing games there were characters that would appear on your island, and they'd only appear on a certain day of the week, and the game works with irl days. This game, instead having a new salesman or something everyday, has the salesmen from other games in the city, which is a separate area from your town. These vendors never change. Which is why this game is probably the easiest one to drop out of all animal crossing games, because there's no incentive to log on after a week or two, because you know everything will just be the same as yesterday.

Like Wild World but with a city (woah) and worse controls

My first animal crossing. Loved visiting my friend's city and inviting her to my city. Really good times with a lot of good content.

a mash up of the previous two games. It is still a good game, however this game made the formula a little stale. I had a lot of fun with this as a kid. but the motion controls keep me from going back.


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.

City Folk is the definitive version of the original "Animal Crossing" games. Despite the little amount of content additions this game provided in its release, City Folk stands as one of the original 3 titles that new fans of the series should hope to try first when looking for an authentic original AC experience.

I don't CARE that this hardly made improvements from Wild World, I still love this game :)

my entire childhood, many many hours spent of skype playing w my friends :)

Another forgotten entry of a great series.

A bit hampered by the fact that it was on the Wii and thus not portable but it's got all the Animal Crossing standards and the addition of the new city area was a nice idea.

I remember when I first played this game for a looooong time I hated Rover and I do not remember why , I had an entire town dedicated to hating him in every way , the town was called f-rover and i constantly made hate posts on the board about him. I don't really remember much else about this game except my arm always hurting having to hold it up just to walk around , I never really played it much and every time I tried , I quit early and I never really enjoyed myself . I think Animal Crossing games just aren't for me , I enjoyed New Leaf and played a little bit of Wild World and New Horizons , I tried to like them but in the end these kinds of games just aren't my taste , and this one of the four I've tried out , I enjoyed the least . Perhaps I'll give it another shot some day , but I don't think that's anytime soon for me .

This was given to me as a gift for Christmas many many years ago, I came to hate Rover for some dumb reason (I did not like the way he was asking me stuff) and named my village "K*llRover" PLEASE like it was not that serious... it is so funny to think about now. Apart from that, I genuinely had fun playing

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 😭😭

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

I'm not the biggest fan of the motion controls but I love the overall vibes, etc of it. it's mostly just wild world with a city and holidays dlc but like the graphics are great

En vrai il était cool, la ville était une bonne idée, mais je trouve qu'il se basait trop sur le online, que je n'avais pas. je n'ai pas d'autre souvenirs, a part le coiffeur, et c'est tout. Je l'ai trouvé trop oubliable malheureusment.

After an exact month of playing this near daily, I think it's appropriate to mark this as "played" to bring up my tally for the end of the year. I haven't completed the museum yet, obviously, but I've upgraded my house a few times and made a lot of progress. A solid AC title to pick up for ~30 minutes a day or so and do daily tasks, but lacking depth beyond that. I still prefer the original and New Leaf to this.

Mi primer Animal y lo disfruté mucho de pequeño en WII, seguramente será insuperable para mí por nostalgia, le eché muchas horas y me gustó ir a la ciudad y el topo molestandome a diario

one of the defining games of my childhood. it's a shame that going back to it is so rough.

i loved this one, but unfortunately my memory card corrupted and i lost everything on it :( but used to be my absolute favorite.

Just another Animal Crossing game. The city is cool, but a majority of your time will be spent in your town. The patches of dirt that appear around your town are kind of gross and they only get bigger the more consistantly you play the game.

This is where the series started going gimmicky instead of building on the main gameplay loop, but it's still a charmful home console rendition of one of the best Nintendo DS titles, even if it wasn't such a huge step forward from it as Wild World was from Population Growing.

I want to pick Wii U as a platform but again it doesn't allow me to. Besides that this game is fantastic! It's literally just animal crossing, animal crossing is good!

Really good Animal Crossing game. The City theme still stays with me even today. Such a fantastic entry in the series

it's okay
character development time i dont actually hate rover anymore
i still hate the motion controls but moving isn't too bad with a nunchuk attached
i feel like there isn't a whole lot to do but yeah it's not bad


Probably the game ive played the least of in the franchise. The relaxing nature of these games don't really work with a wii remote and on the big screen they seem to fit more handheld style.

an oddball of the series but i really did enjoy the city bits. had a disc of this that had a scratch that would cause my game to crash randomly, but before it was scratched i liked playing it a lot.

My childhood animal crossing. So dear to my heart.
