The only real flaw in Animal Crossing is that because it uses a real time clock if you work a 9-5 it's hard to get the most out of the game because it's always night time when you play. Obviously this shouldn't affect a 12 year old as school is a decent routine schedule for AC. I say go for it because it's really a game for non-gamers.

BUUUUUYYYY IIIITTTTT!!!!

The characters are memorable.....especially when they lie to your face, insult you or are pissed off, there's TONS to do and the coolest reason to turn it on every day is to see what changes happened in the world while you were gone.
Alas, after a while it does get tedious, but hey, for $30 it's awesome while it lasts....and you get a free memory card in with the deal!!!

The game is addictive, especially if you're a "collecting" type of person in RL.
RL?? RL?? Is that an acronym for "real life"? Have we as gamers become so detached from reality that we have to use acronyms to refer to it?

patience of the player (not everyone seems to be okay with fishing, talking and doing errands, knowing that there actually isn't much more to it, than that).
Animal Crossing is also a game that really should be played quite regulary; otherwise cockroaches move into your house and stirr things up a little.

So I think Animal Crossing is better as the Sims because you do everything yourself and the because of that things don't boring so fast (BTW: I've been playing the game everyday since 23rd January with my first character, and played it +- at least every three days with my other three characters (! I couldn't get enough of it LOL !)(theline continues->)
and because of the real time clock instead of some kind of speed up tool (which is totally neccesary in the sims to prevent you from falling asleep yourself
). And another tip: Buy both games so your little sister learns a new lesson
Laterz,
Edward (back to SkaTown - Holland)

See, when I first got AC and for a long while after it was my most played game. It holds the record for continuous playing time (12 hours srtaight). But I grew tired of it after a while because there was nothing to do. I am ashamed to say it, but I cheated and used universal codes to get lots of items to finish sets and many NES game.. It just became too boring for me after that.
Now, a year later, I've come back and now play it everyday again. Why? Because I gave up most of my material possesions (in the game, silly). Kinda like a Buddhist 'find inner peace' doowab. There were some things I just couldn't let go of (<3 Balloon Fight) but for the most part I started over. Of course, there were ALOT of weeds to clean up when I got back, but now things are running smoothly again. (excpet for the fact that the villagers can't undertand anything i write to them. I tried using simple words they would undertand, too. I said, "Hello. You are my friend." and they sent stuff back to me like "What are you saying? I couldn't understand one word you said. Please stop sending me letters.")

I think soccer is pretty fun actually, but not as fun as Balloon Fight. Balloon Fight kicks ass.

I'm 31 and bought this game when it came out. I knew I'd like it before I bought it but had no idea how great the game was going to be for me. I played about 4 months straight (almost every day), and then finally kicked the habit for about 2 months. Then, one day I decided to play again and ended up getting hooked again for another 3 or 4 months. I finally forced myself to quit playing it because I couldn't get any play time in with my other games, it was all going toward AC. I'd buy a new game and then have to play AC for an hour every day before playing my new game.
My wife and daughter both loved it also. I wish the game had a timer that showed how long someone has played because I know I'd be right around 400 hrs. To this day I won't play it because I don't want to become addicted again. However, I consider the greatest game I've ever played and I've been gaming since Atari/Colecovision. I can't wait to see what Nintendo does with this franchise although I also dread it too
