Description

Cross over to a world that thrives 24-7 on GCN. The ambitious Animal Crossing allows players to interact with a virtual village of animals who do something different every minute of every day. With Animal Crossing's 24-hour clock, the game's unique events can be in synch with real time—as day turns to night in the real world, the sun will also begin to set in the game. Seasons will change and special events will occur in real time, too. The dynamic setup will have players coming back every day to carry out their daily routines, build relationships with villagers, celebrate special days, collect furnishings for their homes and just live life in an innovative experience that's a world of its own.

  • One of the best RPG games out for Gamecube.
Animal Crossing is a very fun and addicting game that can even prove to be challenging. The concept is that you are a person living in a town populated by animals. These animals are human like though and can walk on two legs, talk, and wear clothing. Interacting with them is one of the interesting aspects of the game. And while it is true that young children might find the animals cute and fun, it is a game that can be enjoyed by all ages. You start off coming into a town with very little money and just the shirt you are wearing. Fortunately, you get set up with the local shop keeper, a friendly racoon, who agrees to let you buy a house in town. But, since you are low on money he agrees to let you work for him for a while to repay some of your debt. This is pretty much a tutorial. You meet the townsfolk, learn how to deliver items, and recieve a map to help you around. After this you are pretty much free to do as you choose. This might seem a little dull. Luckily, there are many options that will you keep you entertained. 1. Fishing. In Tom Nook's (the raccoon) store you will be able to buy a fishing rod. Then you can take it to the river, the beach, or a pond to fish. These fish can be sold for bells (the currency used) or you can donate them to the mueseum. Once you catch all fish, you get a special reward. 2. Bug- catching. This is pretty much the same as fishing. You buy a net from the store and catch insects that are around your town. 3. Paying off your debt. Once you repay off a debt on your house you will be asked if you want to expand it (unless your house is as big as it gets). If you keep repaying debts and expanding your house eventually you will get 2 floors and a basement. 4. Collecting furniture wallpaper flooring and other items. After all what is a house without furniture. There are hundreds of things you can get for your house resulting in many home decorating options. You can choose to take part in a program called the HRA that will give your house points based on the interior design. Get a high enough score and you might get a prize. Another great aspect of the game is the time. It is based on real time so one hour is one hour in the game. The seasons and months change accordingly and some bugs and fish can only be found in certain seasons. Also, different holidays come and go moslty on the days of real holidays. Ex: on the 4th of July there are fireworks. These are very fun and you can usually get rare items from them. Also people come every week. A dog comes on Saturday that will play songs on his guitar. If you have a friend with the game you can put in their memory card and visit their town with your person. This can be fun since every town is different. Different fruit, townsfolk, locations, etc. You can even write them a letter at the post office. Overall, this game is very entertaining and the things to in it are endless. ... show more

  • You must think we're all crazy, but it really IS fun.
Being an Animal Crossing fan is inherently frustrating, as you try to convert your friends. Imagine, if you will... You: It's so cool, you can catch bugs, and go fishing, and buy wallpaper and carpets! Friend: Uh..huh. *long pause* That's it? You: Nono! You can run errands for the animals in town, or plant fruit trees, or dig up fossils, or write letters! And time passes even when you're not playing. Like every Saturday night there's a dog who comes to town and plays a song for you. Friend: Okay, riiiight. I'm going to go stand somewhere else now. Scoff all you will, my friends, but Animal Crossing is one of those rare titles that sells the platform. It's entirely nonviolent (you don't even kill the bugs and fish you catch) and completely open-ended. Play as much or as little as you want. If you're considering this purchase as a gift, bear in mind that reading and writing are essential parts of gameplay. Very young children (like my 4 year-old) can enjoy running around, shaking the trees for fruit and catching bugs, but fluency in English will enhance your experience immensely. Also, if multiple people want to start characters, you may want to purchase a separate memory stick. There are certain activities in town that can only be done once (e.g. the town museum will only accept one of each fossil type) and limited resources that refresh daily (e.g. a special money-giving rock that dispenses bags of coin to the first person to whack it with their shovel). With two sticks you can travel to each other's towns and meet a bunch more animal friends (who will show you letters they received from the other player, so watch what you write!) There are additional capabilities for those with a Game Boy Advance, which include an additional island to explore. Also, the e-Reader for the GBA lets you scan in new songs and mini-games. Neat features, but you can still have plenty of fun without buying all that extra hardware. One last thing: you can trade items with anyone, anywhere, without having to hook your Gamecube to the internet. The town merchant will take an item and give you a special code in exchange. Give the code to your friend, who gives it to the merchant in HIS town, and... voila! There is a thriving trading community on the internet, for those of you who love collecting. ... show more

  • The Game Works!
I was a little worried about taking a chance ordering this game through amazon. I saw some pretty disappointing reviews and thought I'd get a scratched disk. But every worked out alright! The game, package and little booklet were all in great condition! Would definitely order through this seller again! ... show more

  • The Undisputed and Uriginal Animal Crossing US classic.
If you have a early generation Wii that can play GameCube games or have a GameCube lying around I highly recommend this game. Its a daily real time game that only really involves at the most 2-3 hours of game play per day. However it is well worth the time invested as it is enjoyable, charming, and rewarding as the game progresses. SUMMARY: You are a new resident of this town and you essentially live out your virtual life here. Activities include bug hunting, fossil finding, painting collecting, shopping, designing clothes, upgrading your house, and paying debts used to pay for that upgrade. GRAPHICS: The graphics have aged very well. Although it was ported from the Japanese Nintendo 64 the cell shading and character designs are whimsical enough that they do not look dated like "realistic" games of that era. GAME PLAY: There is a reason this game is a classic of the gamecube/xbox/ps2 era. The game play is simple enough to be understood yet challenging enough to keep you interested. There are many different nuances and secrets to this game to keep you involved for years to come. Big accomplishments feel just like that because they take days of continuous play to achieve. Seasons and night/day sync up with the actual months and the real time which allow for different quests or achievables for when you play. ... show more

  • addicting.. maybe too addicting..
When you watch someone play this game, it's boring, I admit. If I saw someone play this game I'd think, this is the stupidest game ever. However, once you play it, it's awesome! When I first bought it, I spend three weeks playing day and night. then I stopped for a while because I got bored of it. Then my friend started playing it and was like, "have you played this?" and I got back into playing ti again. I've been playing day and night again for 2 weeks now. I'm 21 years old and this game is great. But it's also great for younger kids. Whenever I come home from college, my 8 year old brother screams in excitement "did you bring animal crossing?!" And he'll sit and play it for a while. It's a gret game for kids, it teaches about saving your money, things about the environment, it teahces you all sorts of things about dinosaurs, fish, and insects. It's really a great game, for all ages! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED A+++ ... show more

  • Overall a trustworthy and reliable product
I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical since people are overcharging these old gamecube games like crazy. But overall, the game came in great condition. The disc didn't have any visible scratches and the case came with the graphic image on the outside of the boxes and with the pamphlets inside the game box. The only thing missing was the memory card but that was to be expected since it informs you that it may be gone in the description. The top left gamecube logo on the box was slightly damaged on the plastic but that's not really a problem for me. Game runs like new, and I'm overall very satisfied with it, despite the high pricing. My only real complaint, which is more directed towards Amazon but I might as well include it here, is that the person who delivered the package was quite careless with it upon delivery. I had the screen door closed but the main one open so I could still see him from the inside, and I stayed quiet to see if he would handle it properly, but he just dropped it onto the ground carelessly without any regard to the possibility of the package being fragile. Although he arrived in an enterprise truck so it's quite possible he worked for a third party company serving to deliver Amazon products. Other than that, though, I'm very satisfied. I'm giving it 5 stars because it wouldn't be fair of me to judge the product based on one guy who delivered it and probably had no real direct involvement in the sale. ... show more

  • Extremely Addictive - For All Ages!
I ordered this game on the off-chance that my 8 yr. old grandson would be a little occupied while staying with me during spring break this week and I absolutely got my moneys worth! Not only was he completely immersed in this imaginary world for the entire week - so was his grandmother (umm . . . . yes, that would be me)! Between the two of us, this game was running from around 7:00 a.m. (very good fishing time in the town my character lives in, not to mention the grandson was still sleeping) until approximately 11:30 p.m. (good time to pull weeds, shake trees for spending currency and get a little more fishing in!). I was pretty surprised by how much I enjoyed just puttering my little character around in this imaginary world that I actually just ordered MY OWN COPY of the game to KEEP at my house. And what good is the game without the game console, so I also ordered my own GameCube, Wavebird Wireless controller and an extra memory card (because part of the fun is taking a train ride to visit a distant town and you need an extra memory card for that). Now I can't wait to set up my own town and my grandson can bring his town over on his memory card and when he visits me our Animal Crossing characters can visit each other also! I definitely have to give this game TEN stars (but Amazon only lets me give it five)!! ... show more

  • Just as good as I remember
I purchased this game when it originally came out nearly a decade ago and played the heck out of it. Eventually I got rid of it because I had bought the DS Animal Crossing and played the heck out of that one as well and figured there was no going back. I also played the Wii Animal Crossing, but honestly I liked this Gamecube version a lot better! I recently got a craving for some Animal Crossing and, being disappointed with the Wii version I own, decided to purchase the GC version again. I'm so glad I did. The game is just as much fun as I remember. I still had my old Animal Crossing e-Reader cards too so I ordered a GBA, GBA/GC link cable, and e-Reader again and had fun scanning those all in for the extra items. I would highly recommend this game to anyone with a 4th grade reading level and above. Very fun and somewhat educational with all the facts about bugs, fish, and fossils if you donate them to the museum. The game is even better when played by multiple people in the household and can be enjoyed by both kids and adults alike. ... show more
