Deeko: "Animal Crossing first made its debut on the Nintendo GameCube in 2002. It was an innovative look at a real time life game: players, as a young person, decide to set out on their own and make a name for themselves in a town full of animal characters. In a time where games didn't have much new to offer, Animal Crossing took us to a place where we could relax and just hang out with our friends." 8/10
