Advantages: Fun graphics and characters, addictive

Disadvantages: Isn't action packed, but that's not the point!

Animal Crossing: Lets Go To The City for the Nintendo Wii is a great, addictive real life game with fun bright characters and makes you feel as though live a relaxed lifestyle!

In reference to previous Animal Crossing games
------------------------------------------------- -----------
There is not an amazing difference with the other games in the series. I had Wild World for the Nintendo DS and it is pretty much the same, other than the option to go into town to the shops. Don't expect a whole new game if you have played other versions, just pick which one is most appealing and play that one rather than playing the whole series, which is pointless as you never finish the game, it is an ongoing lifestyle game.

Colours and Appearance
-------------------------------
Being a girl, and sorry to stereotype, I love games that are brighter and more friendly looking, as shallow as that must sound. It appeals to me because the characters are fun and I think it is a game which everyone can play, even my mum likes and and so do my little cousins. Although the characters, which are your 'neighbours' are fun animals, I don't think that the game is childish, or just aimed at children.

The story
------------
You play as a little person that has come to live in a town which you have to improve, to a certain extent. You ride their on the bus and the bus driver asks you questions which determines what your appearance is. The town that you live in is randomly arranged for each different game but will have the same things in it: Tom Nook's convienience store, A clothes shop and a few neighbour's houses, a Town Hall and a bus stop to go to the 'city' in, and also the museum, and the entrance gate where you can visit other people's towns.
Tom Nook's shop is a place you can buy utensils for the game such as a watering can, or letter paper; you can buy furniture and wallpaper and carpet and also seeds etc. The contents of the shop changes every real life day, and the same for the contents of the clothes shop.
You have to de weed the town everyday (there are only 3 weeds a day), you can plant flowers, visit friends, write letters, interact with the neighbours, grow things, sell things, make your house look nice and make money to make it bigger. There are a lot of hidden things in the game to discover.

WiFi
------
One of the highlights of the game is that you can visit your real life friends' towns through wifi or whoever else is playing. You can meet people on the animal crossing communtiy forum, which is an online community; just google it.

Real Life Time
-----------------
Events and things that happen in the game coinside with real life time; there are different settings and things in spring to autumn to winter and summer, and night and day happens as well. You can catch different fish and bugs depending on what time of day and year it is.

Overall
---------
It is a slow game which you do a little bit of everyday, you gradually get addicted to it. It may seem boring to an outsider but once you make your town it gets very addictive you'll be hooked! A friendly game for everyone to enjoy!

Summary: Great game for all, can be slow, but fun.
