As for the multiplayer aspect, the dreaded Friend Codes return yet again, but the inclusion of WiiSpeak capabilities makes for a more fun time because you can actually talk with your friends all around the world. Otherwise, multiplayer parts of City Folk don’t really differ too significantly from any of the past games. This is, perhaps, an area Nintendo could work on for the next Animal Crossing title.
Animal Crossing: City Folk plays like a combination of the past two Animal Crossing games with a little extra twist in it. However, while it’s certainly going to be a great way to introduce the franchise to the new gamers the Wii has brought in, longtime series fans are going to be rather bored, since this is more of the same. The game could use a bit of a graphical boost, even though the art style is fine as is, and there needs to be better use of the Wii remote in any future Animal Crossing Wii games. In short, City Folk is either a great little game to play or a boring retread, depending on which category of gamer you fall into.
Pros: Offers plenty to see and do. The addition of the city is well implemented.
Cons: Still too much of the same. Doesn’t make use of the Wii’s new control-style very well.
Animal Crossing: City Folk is rated E (Everyone) by the ESRB for Comic Mischief.

I really like the Nintendo Wii. And face it, it's the only gaming system you can always get an excercise using. More than any other gaming system, anyways.
