Animal Crossing: City Folk expands upon the beloved life-simulation formula of previous titles. You'll move to a peaceful village, customize your house, befriend charming animal neighbors, and enjoy the simple pleasures of fishing, bug catching, and fossil hunting. While City Folk introduced a new city area and features like voice chat, it remains largely similar to its predecessor Wild World, feeling more like an expansion than a fully-fledged sequel. Fans of the series will still find plenty to love, but those seeking significant innovation might be left wanting more.
A sweet and cosy game that has enjoyable NPC interactions (no matter if they berate you or speak highly of you) in a simplistic, yet adorable world with a simple, yet effective artstyle.
The whole thing is so cute, the music, the sounds, the simple day-to-day activities collecting things for the museum, making your own patterns for the shop, visiting the city and to pay off your debt are so relaxing and makes the real world seem so nice to do, which is ironically what most people would want to avoid in real life (myself included).
I didn't get super far into it before I stopped, as I'd "changed" a bit since starting, so using an old "account" felt wrong and sharing a town with the old one also felt wrong, and nor did I want to start over because of the bond I'd made from the first time, so I never picked it back up unfortunately. One day I will again.

Like with Wild World, I remember playing this game, but my memories of the details are fuzzy. With that in mind, it was still a good time from what I can recollect. I enjoy the city mechanic & being able to go from a more rural village to urban environment & back again. It helped prevent the AC formula from getting too stale.

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.
god
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.
