Animal Crossing is like no other video game out there, there is no real objective and there is only one scene in which you can play. Your town. In that case, how come everyone I know who owns a copy of this game hasn't been able to put it town? Basically, you start off the game by being introduced to your town, throughout the game you have many objectives to complete such as paying off your mortgage and completing your catalogue of all the items in the game. This can take a long time which keeps you playing for hours every day. Even when you have finished your mortgage and catalogue there is still absolutely loads to do, for example you can decorate your town however you want with different fruit trees and flowers to make every town unique. The great thing about this game which keeps everybody hooked is the online capabilities of it. If you add your friend's friend codes, you can visit their town and they can visit yours and you can help decorate your friend's towns and make money together. One of the great things that enhances your online play is the wii speak. The wii speak is a little microphone that sits on top of your wii sensor bar and acts as a microphone for everyone in the whole room so you and for example your little brother can have a conversation with your friend and his sister over the internet, which is great fun for all the family.
I definitely recommend this game for people of all ages, but beware as you will get completely addicted.
