A highly addictive and entertaining game, with hundreds of hours of depth available. The animals are cute, with their own personality quirks. And if they annoy you, just remember they can’t read.100eToychest

For fans of the genre, Animal Crossing can best be explained as a mix between “Harvest Moon” and “The Sims,” and it’s just so damn fun.96Gamer’s Pulse

Addiction… The answer to the PC’s hit simulation “The Sims,” however you’ve got kooky little animals instead of real life looking people, and it’s also a whole lot more fun.96netjak

Perhaps the deepest and most immersive game I have ever played. The community aspect is on a par with any MMORPG you care to mention, which is a hell of an achievement for an offline console game.95GameCube Europe

It’s like a simple “Sims”…but it’s a lot of fun, I swear. [Oct 2002, p.86]95Game Informer

This game is so addictive, you won’t be able to put it down once you start playing!92Electronic Gaming Monthly

It’s an extremely satisfying experience…and the inclusion of the Game Boy Advance connectivity is absolutely brilliant and should not be missed.91IGN

Extremely addicting. This is the type of game that you get up early and stay up late for just to see what will happen next.91Gaming Age

It looks plain on the surface, but once you’ve established yourself in your new town, you won’t be able to put the controller down. Not for everyone, but very good. [Oct 2002, p.38]91GameNow

The game that never ends… So why is it so much fun to play? [Feb 2003, p.96]90GMR Magazine

The unique mechanics of this game make it stand out from the rest, but its complexity may be a turn off for some players.80Cincinnati Enquirer

The game is habit-forming but crawls along too slowly to have the legs of a “Sims”-like blockbuster. [20 Sept 2002]75Entertainment Weekly

Great game. But again, like every other review. It’s 1 island per switch system! Which is ridiculous and player 2 literally cannot do anything on the island. Absolutely ridiculous if you ask me30GoldFishy
