I was brought up with the game, its my childhood in a nutshell. My sister suggest that i should get into Gaming and gave me her old pink ds and gave me my own copy of "Animal Crossing Wild World" (ah, back in the day, good memories!) I thought hey why not? so 6 year old me starting playing the game in the car but i didn't know how to save so i just turned off my ds. This deleted my first ever town (sad face omg) I did get a little upset but my sister made my another town and called it "Flowa" and named my character "Abbie" and i still have that town to this very day, i even goo back to my town sometimes and my house is really nice! its blue with ranch furniture and i have a little corner kitchen. It isn't much really but i like it and that is how i got into gaming, through animal crossing and i will play the series until i get bored of it (if i ever do that is)

For me, Animal Crossing has always been a relaxing experience. I'm able to just chill for a bit and go through my routine. Check out the daily merchandise in the stores, do some gardening, perhaps a bit of fishing. Also, I enjoy checking out different events throughout the year. Even if I miss a holiday due to real life commitments, I can always catch it the following year, so there's almost always something to do.

I also have a personal interest in Sable and her story, of course. XP

What makes it fun for me is that I like interacting with the villagers and designing my house and I like going to the island too! The island is always fun... Well for me at least

I like it because, like others, it reminds me of my childhood and how I started playing video games what really got me hooked up with the series were the cute neighbors and the almost impossible goal to catch all fish, bugs, and fill up the catalog.

It's the…overall experience.

It's up to each player to make of it what he/she will when playing "Animal Crossing."

For me, the top experience is with connecting with the animal villagers. Everything else one can list…follows.

I love how you can do anything you want with it. It can be way more relaxing than our stressful reality!!

I love video games. However, I have always been *terrible* at normal video games... I get through maybe three to five levels on my own, then I need help or end up giving up. I don't know if I just have no coordination or what my issue is but I just utterly fail after a few levels. Until that point I have a blast, and I'm definitely a completist about them, trying to find every little thing and achieve everything I'm "supposed" to. But inevitably the harder the levels get the less my skills are able to handle it, no matter how much I try this has been about how it is for years and years. I think Spyro games on the PS1 are the only "real" games I've ever finished on my own... Oh, and Myst though that's not really the same... I found Animal Crossing when I picked up my first ds (originally all I wanted to play was nintendogs) and it was like a whole new world opened up to me. I could collect things, earn achievements, decorate a house, and interact with the locals, all on my own time. It has become a daily vacation for me. If I'm stressed out about life I can go to my animal crossing towns and relax. If money is tight at home I can go into animal crossing and still get my shopping fix. When I'm having a bad period with my social anxiety I can "socialize" with my villagers and feel more relaxed instead of more anxious. I love how as the game has gotten older it has opened up more opportunities, the degree of customization available in NL is amazing and has taken it to a whole new level, my anxiety makes me feel like I often don't have control over my life, animal crossing gives me a little outlet where I ALWAYS have control.
I still try to play other games sometimes, but none of them have the same impact on me as Animal Crossing has. I've taken some breaks periodically, but I always come back to it and fall in love all over again.

Kind of what everyone else has been saying, the game is relaxing and I often use it to escape from reality for a while. For whatever amount of time you're able to log into a perfect little world and catch fish and bugs, design your own house, talk to cute little animals that love you, do major gardening or landscaping, etc etc. There's always more to do and it never really ends, which also makes it very addicting. I'll probably never get tired of it~

It is just a really fun game, I like to play with friends, go to the island, go fishing, diving and more, I really like Animal Crossing.

 

[Tap Dancer]

It's a cute (and fun!) game. Little talking animals, pretty clothes to dress up in, a house to decorate, flowers... What more could a girl want? ♥

It's good stress relief and escapism for me ^_^ Although I also like RPGs like Zelda, Fable and Final Fantasy, I like how Animal Crossing is low-key and is a sandbox game that lets you do whatever you want. You can play as much or as little as you want, and you make your town how you would like. It's nice to get away from the more linear games.

My favorite things are breeding flowers, planning out my town and laying down paths/bushes/trees/PWP, collecting rare items, talking to my dreamies ♥, decorating my house with full sets that look pretty, and achieving a full museum.

I guess I should add that BTB, and the friends I have made here, have also added a lot to my enjoyment of the game ^_^ It's great to have such an awesome community, and the game wouldn't be nearly as much fun without it.

My husband also recently got his own 3DS and cartridge, so it's been fun to both be playing the game as well.
