#ANIMAL CROSSING CITY FOLK DS FREE DOWNLOAD SERIES#
This is why - if you are a long time fan of the series - it's hard to play City Folk without it leaving a bad taste in your mouth. The only immediately obvious tweak is actually a reversion to an original GameCube feature, that being that multiple players in the same town each have their own house again (instead of living in the same house like in the DS game). Ignoring the addition of the City area, which we'll get to later, it's nearly impossible to quantify the changes or additions the Wii game introduces to the series. City Folk is little more than an enhanced port of the DS hit. City Folk includes most of the great new features added to the DS version, including online connections to your friends' towns. Anyone who has read this review up to this point may have glanced at the top of the screen, double checking that they were in fact reading a review of the brand new Animal Crossing: City Folk, and not the original GameCube game. This is another example of what makes this simulation game so successful it does a great job of making a virtual world seem a bit more real. It’s not unheard of to have them show you a silly note your friend wrote to them some months prior. Knowledge of all past interactions with other characters comes with them when they move. On top of all of that, animals you meet in your friend's town may move to yours and vice-versa. This means you can meet new characters, find fruit that is most likely rare in your town, see what a different shop is currently selling, and enjoy a general change of scenery. The game can get quite boring without at least some level of competition and community.Īnother great mechanic that really adds value to the experience is the ability to visit other players' towns. This same-house, same-town mechanic is why most people's opinions of the series are directly related to whether or not they are the only one playing it in their house. If he picks it all, there won't be any for you until it grows back again, which can take a few days. Therefore, if your brother plays the game early in the morning, he will get the first shot at any fresh fruit on the trees. While two people in the same room can't each pick up a controller and play together, both players can create characters that live in the same town. This creates the great illusion that the game plays itself when you aren't around.Īnimal Crossing also takes this concept a step further in the way it offers multiplayer. When you haven't played in a while, weeds grow all over and the locals bug you, wondering where you have been. During Halloween, a special event involving pumpkins occurs in your town.
In April, more bugs come out for catching. When it's winter in real life, there's snow on the ground in the game. These collectible items are closely tethered to a time system that ties in directly with the system clock.
It doesn't feature an elaborate career mechanic, but it does have hundreds of different things to seek out. Does a barely incremental change over the DS version live up to that sort of billing?įor those that don't know, the Animal Crossing series fits right into the life simulation genre with a focus on collecting things. That role is usually filled by a great first party offering from Nintendo themselves, which means Animal Crossing should be it this year.
As the holiday season approaches, many Wii owners are looking for that perfect game to stand alone as the must-have title.
