 Animal Crossing review:
5 stars (Great I think) - I relly don't know yet. I think in will be agreat game. I hope to get it for cristmas but the discriptions rule. I just know I will love it.
5 stars (The most interesting and educational gamecube game out there for elementary kids) - As a mother, I looked askance at my children spending ANY time on gaming. However, I am married to a complete computer techie who will not allow the kids to be luddites and he assured me I would not object to this game. He was right. As others have noted, you become a character in a town, you get a job, buy a house, earn money, pay it off, make friends, write letters, do favors, and experience the steady pace of day to day life (the game runs real-time).
These are the benefits I've seen for my 1st and 2nd graders:
1. Strategizing - how to earn money to pay off their loans and buy things they are interested in; how to decorate their home, where to plant fruit and flowers;
2. Patience and the ability to work towards long-term goals, like earning a golden fishing rod or finally earning a basement for their house.
3. Interest in written communication - they send each other and various townspeople notes and gifts.
4. They've gained some familiarity with a variety of bugs and fishes
5. Up to four people can Animal Crossing (although not at the same time). So I play one character with them, and it is quite fun to send them stuff (I learned a couple of codes). The other character is reserved as a 'guest' character, so when other friends come over they can play that one
While this game was addictive, the kids would still be in a good mood when they were done playing, and I never had any trouble getting them to stop playing when their 30 minutes were up. I recently allowed them to play 'Sonic Heroes', which is a chase/quest game, and that game gets their adrenaline (sp) pumping and it is difficult for them to transition to other activities after Sonic Heroes.
I also recently purchased Harvest Moon for the kids as I was told it was similar to Animal Crossing, and it is in many ways, but Harvest Moon seems more appropriate for slightly older kids as you can date and get married and have a baby in Harvest Moon.
So I recommend this game as being the best gamecube game for children. No violence, no dating, just making friends and earning a living and enjoying day to day life in a virtual world.
4 stars (Cool Game dude!) - This game is amazing but gets boring at times. You set off into the world and sart with this puny house. You have to pay off all of your loan for Tom Nook to make your house bigger. I have the biggest house. Tom Nook owns a store in the twn you create. You buy things from him like furniture and clothes. You also have neighbors in different acres. Tom Nooks store will get bigger the more you buy from him. Good luck and buy this game!
