Customer Reviews / Animal Crossing: City Folk: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides)
This book has a lot of great info, and it is helpful in many ways, but there are a lot of mistakes in it:
page 17: "Deposit Gifts" it says when you donate 10,000 bells you get the box of tissues, and 1,000,000 you get the piggy bank. at 10,000 you actually get the shopping card, then at 100,000 you get the tissues. at 1,000,000 you get a GOLD shopping card, and at 10,000,000 you get the piggy bank.
on page 135 it shows several models (house models and town hall) and they say they are spotlight items available from Nook's for 1,800 bells. these models are NOT for sale, the houses you get through HRA points and the town hall model you get after you've had a town for one year.
page 161: the new year's shirt 2011 is pictured as the alternate "Frog shirt" which is actually a regular shirt you buy at able sisters. the new year shirt should be of a bunny, as they are based on the chinese zodiac animals
there are a few more, but these ones really threw me off. If you're like me, you depend on this book for information, especially when it comes to what items you can and can not sell.
I also don't understand why the guides never have hybrid guides or hairstyle guides. I think everyone would appreciate having that info too.
We're enjoying the new Wii Animal Crossing Game. We like a lot of the differences between this Wii game and the same one on Nintendo DS and Nintendo Game Cube. However, we really liked this game on Nintendo Game Cube because of the controller. We could play really fast !! The controller for the Wii game is kind of clumsy to use. Maybe it just takes a lot of practice, but we've been playing it every day since Christmas and still bring up the menu when we don't want it, and still cast a line into the ocean when we're just trying to move the character. Wish Wii Animal Crossing used that old controller, only wireless. That would be great!
This game guide is okay. It is not as helpful as the Star Wars or Indiana Jones game guide. This guide gives you more bell info than anything else. There are not a lot of short cuts and I do not recall any cheats. It will however tell you what each bug, fish, and fossil are worth. That is about all we have used it for.
...that's about it. It has all the characters names listed, birthdays, bugs, fish, furniture and some hints to getting special items. This book will allow you to keep track of your inventory and special occasions. The monthly calendar section is helpful since it tells you what bugs, fish and what events are available for that specific month. It does have a lot of flaws and leaves out information that would be beneficial. Not easy to follow and does not offer "major" cheat codes. For example, being new to the game I searched the book for a reason why the bus is not always available to go to the city all the time and did not find anything except that the bus is available 24/7. Later I found out (not from the book) that you can not go to the city if your gates (WiFi) is open. Since the game is so new and there are still a lot of new discoveries out there, maybe they will come out with a newer version of this that will be more helpful with hints and clues.
i love this game. when i first saw it, i said...well i dont know about this game, it doesnt look like i can play this everyday all day like i do most of my video games. but the first day i played it, i was hooked. i mean, i have to play it everyday. my bf reminds me when KK Slider is in town and when i need to go to the hair salon and everything. it is crazy how real this game is. i would reccommend this game to any and everybody.
