Machi e ikouyo: Doubutsu no mori

My sister got a Wii for Christmas back in 2008. Before then, I had only played it once at my cousin's apartment. Along with this Wii, my parents bought three separate games, including this game. The other games were Cooking Mama: Cook Off and the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie game (I was a fan of the movie at the time, but the game was straight terrible). Anyway, my sister created her town in the game which I observed and seemed interested in. Some months later I decided to give the game a try. It took me a while to actually understand what I was supposed to do, but as soon as I did, I became obsessed with this game. And to this day, Animal Crossing: City Folk is my favorite Wii game and one of my all-time favorite video games. Playing this game lead me to playing all the other games in the franchise. I used to wake up early in the morning just to play this game. Nowadays, whenever I plug my Wii back into my TV and put this game on, I'm taken back to a simpler and care-free time. I can say the same thing about the GameCube and DS games, but City Folk will always be the game that contributed to those good times.

I love the Animal Crossing Series, so this is pick is obvious. I have all 3 games and are great in their own way. City folk sort of combines the largeness of the first with the features of the second. The main difference of this title is the City, the City expands many of the game features and helps to make the game seem a bit more exciting early. I love how there are now 4 separate houses instead of just 1 big house than before and also that hairstyles can be changed earlier than waiting a long time. Another great feature is the expanded catalog and clothes. Highly recommend for any animal crossing nut or for new gamers who love these kinds of games!
