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.
City Folk plays like an updated Wild World on your TV. Most days in AC are spent doing simple chores then putting the game down to do something else. New Leaf/Horizons being on handheld systems are very convenient for this reason - and it's because of this that City Folk/GameCube have aged rather poorly.
