Graphics: For the Gamecube, they were rather well. Mostly 3-D house, character, board, umbrellas, etc. Some added features like the playable feature of old NES game, this game look pretty good. ~8.5~

Gameplay: Nintendo took a HUGE turn from it normal games and give people a sim. Game of real life. Have a loan to pay off and upgrade your house, meet new people, people move out, come in, fishing, catching bugs, doing people favor, special event, this game is truly unlimited. This game has so much its unbelieveable. Plenty of cheat codes, people to meet, stuff to collect, keep your town in tip-top shape! ~10~

Multiplayer: Even though this game takes a lot of memory, this game has enough room for up to 4 player, not all at the same time, but none the less 4 people. You can also visit other peoples town by putting 2 memory cards in as well. ~8~

Lasting Appeal: Again, this is a Real Life sim. So its goes on forever! Event going on, season changes, upgrading house, upgrading Tom Nooks store, this game always has something to do. ~9.5~
Overall: This game is soo much fun at the start, build a town, make clothes, make your perfect house, some much. I give Animal Crossing a 9 out of 10.
