    The game has a bit to say about real life too. Any kids playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf will certainly be well prepared for a lifetime of mortgage drudgery. Animal Crossing: New Leaf is a worthwhile resident in your 3DS.

    Animal Crossing: New Leaf is one of the most relaxing gaming experiences to be had on the 3DS at this time. It’s built for short gaming sessions on the go, and being the mayor of your own town is pretty awesome. It is nice to play a game that focuses on relaxing tasks rather then fighting a terrible creature in order to save the world.

    With New Leaf, Animal Crossing stands right inside the borderline of complete stagnation and defiantly places a single foot just outside into the realm of change. It offers plenty to keep this from feeling like the exact same thing you played four years ago, or eight years ago, or 11 years ago... but only if you're willing to invest a few dozen hours into it.

    New Leaf is a truly magical game, one that you can easily expect to invest hundreds of hours in over the course of years. Anyone with access to a 3DS should absolutely give this game a try - just be prepared to kiss your “real” life goodbye.

    It's a good little game, but it's nowhere near as special as it used to be, and those hoping for more flexibility and interaction from their new political careers will feel let down by what is, ostensibly, just more goalpost shifting and further excuses to get you to shake bananas off trees.

    Amazing game and absolutely adorable, fun for kids and adults. Cute graphics and characters. A great game to play if you just want to relax and don't want any stress (except paying off loans at first lol). Plenty of things to do and lots of ways to customize to really be able to add your touch. Played this game for a lot of years and still check back to play every once in a while!
