Animal Crossing

"Tired of video games that run out of steam far too quickly? An exciting new role-playing game has been released for Nintendo's GameCube, and it's likely to garner a huge following."

"Taking a nod from The Sims, Nintendo’s latest transports Gamecube gamers into a whole new world filled with talking animals and interesting ways to make money. Animal Crossing is a weird one, that’s for sure, but it’s also an addictive and fun one. Just don’t expect your new neighbors to be very smart."

"To summarise, if that is at all possible, Animal Crossing is 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."

"So, it comes down to your decision. What we have on its way is an incredibly innovative, inventive, ingenious and a down right beautifully created game with interesting GBA link up extras. It could last forever, but it could last but a few days."

"Judging from what we've played so far, Animal Crossing is shaping up to be a unique game that will offer a nice change of pace from most games for the system. While the GameCube library is set to receive some powerhouse entries in the next few months, gamers may be pleasantly surprised by what Animal Crossing has to offer."
