EGM: "Animal Crossing is a franchise where I’ll never fully be satisfied with the effort Nintendo puts into it—but after taking a break from the series for a while, I realize how much I’ve missed it. New Leaf brings updates both major and minor, but the most important of them for me was the push for customization. You’ll now spend far more time making your town just the way you want it to be and personalizing your character to suit your specific tastes—and, really, that’s what Animal Crossing should be about."
