Animal Crossing offers repetitive gameplay that is both not challenging nor rewarding. Consisting mostly of collecting and ... well that's it. In reviewing the game experience in such terms it is therefore a surprise that I logged over 200 hours in Animal Crossing. I cannot imagine that I am alone in my experience with Animal Crossing. If you were to play the game for less than an hour you would not see the attraction in the tedious process of endlessly picking fruit, digging for fossils or collecting and arranging furniture. But I defy anyone to play the game for longer than that and not end up losing at least the next 3-4 weeks of their gaming life to the simple satisfactions found in Animal Crossing. The portability and stylus features of the DS far improve on the game over the Gamecube original though I did find the localization effort to be sadly less quirky this time around. I enjoyed every minute I played AC but in retrospect I probably could have stopped playing after 60 hours and have gotten as much out of the experience. |
