Animal Crossing takes the notion of the conventional console role-playing game and tosses it right out the window in favor of some of the most original and addictive gameplay ever. The hours of gaining experience levels, keeping up with convoluted storylines, and engaging in random battles have been replaced with hours of picking fruit, pulling weeds, interacting with the residents of your town, and, most importantly, collecting as much cool stuff for your house as you possibly can.In addition to being completely open-ended, Animal Crossing has an incredible number of activities to keep you occupied, such as fishing, designing your own clothes, and, best of all, gathering up a vast collection of Nintendo Entertainment System games that can be played within the game or uploaded to the Game Boy Advance for an instant retro gaming fix. All these features, however, are just the tip of the iceberg, and the game seems to always have something new in store, whether it's an item you've never seen or just a witty comment from one of your neighbors.
The cute, cartoony look of the game may force some of you to jump to conclusions about Animal Crossing, but give it a few hours, and you'll be hooked for sure. What it lacks in good looks it more than makes up for in personality and the nearly infinite amount of time you can spend with the game. While most role-playing games stick to elements that are tried and true, this game goes out of the way to do something different and strikes gold at every opportunity.
