Ckday wakes up,
grabs a glass of water (flavored, not regular), and goes back to sleep.
Three minutes later, he wakes up again and gets dressed. He then walks
to the Lemmy’s Land Thingamajigger where Reviews and Game Guides are held.
Scene 2: Backstage
Ckday asks his
somehow brother Yoshi, “What am I doing today? Game Guide?”
He is answered with “No, a Review.”
“What? NONONONO! I’M DONE REVIEWING! I’VE QUIT! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
Then he is shoved
onstage.
Now, for the Review,
darn it!
(Note that all
text, unless otherwise stated, is from Ckday.)
Ummm… Hi? *gets
booed* Well, you’re nice. Anyway, I’ll be doing, umm… *looks at a sheet*
Animal Crossing: City Folk. And the first Review of it on LL, too! And
as of this Review, I’m replacing the Mario-ness section. The scale is,
as per usual, 1-10. Enjoy! *booed*
Story: 7
Okay, so, this
ugly, creepy, annoying, yet somehow interesting cat named Rover walks onscreen
and has a one-sided conversation with you, and then, BAM! He’s torturing
you on a bus. STALKER! So he asks you some rather stalker-ish questions.
The way you answer changes how your character looks, so pick wisely! So
you FINALLY ditch him and set off to live life without getting out of youra
chair! So, after abuse by a half-dressed raccoon, you can just live your
life freely by not living life!
Gameplay: 10
You can do endless
things! Catch fish, hunt bugs, decorate your house, use feng shui (which
is arranging your house for benefits), shop, sell, mercilessly beat people,
etc! And I’m just getting started! You can also visit the city, a piece
of gameplay untouched by the last two games. See Replayabillity.
Levels: n/a
Umm… You have
your town, friends’ towns, and the city (see Gameplay and Replayabillity).
Yeah.
Secrets &
Unlockables: 7
This game has
numerous secrets! As I’ll tell you in this replacement section, you can
find various tricks and treats and other schemes to help improve your house,
town, or funds to help rake in random beaten things, random beaten other
things, and random beaten people! You can Mario-ize your house with Mario
furniture, rake in T-Rex Skulls on your front lawn, and other cool things!
The shopkeeper, Tom Nook, the half-dressed raccoon of the business world,
might even make some much-needed improvements to his store if you buy like
a maniac…
Controls: 9
You will LOVE
the Nunchuk in this game, it makes this SO much easier! A and C are for
selecting options and performing actions, B and Z are to run, pick things
up, pluck weeds, and go back, the Control Stick is for moving, 1 is to
take a picture, and the motion sensor is used for moving and selecting
inventory options. However, I docked- *gets a dock thrown at him* …Ow.
Anyway, I docked a point for control without the Nunchuk.
Graphics: 9
The graphics
are just fine! The Mario items are realistic (in terms of NES graphics)
and the characters look at least somewhat believable. But, your character’s
nose doesn’t stick out, which is rather awkward, so I removed a point.
Oh well.
Music and Sound:
10
These songs are
amazing! Three songs were so great they actually got put on the Animal
Crossing Clock pre-set alarm sounds. You can also make your Town Tune,
which is basically your Town’s national anthem and plays every hour and
each time you talk to someone, so make one you like!
Characters: 10
There are so
many characters you’ll probably never meet them all. You have billions
of animal neighbors that will move in and out of your town, depending on
how you treat them. Send ‘em lots of letters with presents and talk to
them frequently, and they’ll stay and you get tons of presents! Everyone’s
happy! But there are also multitudes of special characters to meet, like
Mr. Resetti (a mole who yells at you for resetting), Don (Resetti’s older
brother), Serena (the goddess of the fountain you can get in your town),
and Wendell (a traveling artist who gives you designs for food), among
others.
Difficulty: n/a
This game’s just
a life simulation. How can it be hard?
Replayabillity:
ENDLESS! I mean, 11
Yeah. It scored
over 10. This is the second game (first was Mario Party DS) I’ve given
a score over 10. Anyway, how can this game not end? It’s life. In reality,
do you collect a bunch of stuff, get a message saying you beat life 100%,
and never come back? No. But, as mentioned above, there is a piece of gameplay
called The City. The City is really just a compilation of stores for furniture
and other things. Really neat.
Fun Factor!: 8
Personally, I
think this game is extremely fun, but one of my friends doesn’t think so.
It’s really just on what you classify fun.
Overall: 9
I’ve played the
other 2 Animal Crossing and thought they were pretty amazing, and when
I heard about this game, my expectations skyrocketed. And you know what?
My expectations were mostly met. If they had more unlockables than just
upgrading Tom Nook’s store, this would’ve been a perfect 10. But it’s still
an amazing game, so pick it up!
