Best to Worst Animal Crossing Game

[Kip]

1. New Leaf: This has most of the stuff I've been longing for.

2. City Folk: I had the best time of my life while playing this.

3. Wild World: So many memories & my first AC game.

4. Original: This game is wonderful and relaxing. This would've been 3rd but I've had more experiences with WW.

 

[ShadowWolfAlpha]

New Leaf: Graphics, more items, you're a mayor - etc etc etc
Wild World: First AC game. Loved it to bits! Used to play online with it soooo much
City Folk: HATED THIS POS! Firstly it was Wild World with 'umpt' up graphics. The city was just terrible. Nothing really new added and finally, it was on a console. I'm too impatient to have to walk downstairs, turn on Wii and wait for the loading screen just to play it for 20-30 minutes (since after that, you've pretty much got nothing left to do).

Didn't play anything else - I apologies if my hatred for CF offended anyone

Games I've played…

1. New Leaf
AMAZING, no explanation needed.

2. Animal Crossing (GC)
Holds a nostalgic value but I actually really enjoyed that game. Lots of things to do, fun dialog.

3. City Folk
This would have been at the bottom if it weren't for Wild World. I found City Folk repetitive, boring and unnecessary. Events were boring, shops were boring, dialog was boring, earning money was difficult and doing everything in general bored me. I liked the large town and maps though, and I also enjoyed it because I TT'd so much and just didn't give a flying **** about it.

4. Wild World
Boring. That's all.

New Leaf: This game is, by far, the best AC game ever. In my opinion of course, but I'd be willing to bet it really is the best.

GameCube: This places 2nd for nostalgia. That's really the only reason~

Wild World/City Folk: They both place the same for me. Didn't care for either version. Unlike ACGC and ACNL, I only played these 2 for a few months.

New Leaf is #1. They brought back a lot of my favorite features, and I love the graphics and new perks.
Population Growing is #2. I enjoyed the bigger town and the larger range of dialogue between my character and the villagers.

City Folk and Wild World are tied for me. I enjoyed them, but I got bored with City Folk once I went through all of the seasons since my town was "complete" by then. Wild World ended up being reset a number of times. I just didn't have that much fun with it, and I had no one to play it with anyway.

 

[Wholockian]

New Leaf- No reason needed
Population Growing!- Football, Wishing Well, Your own personal gyroid, sports day - it's just awesome
Wild world- Only as you could stop villagers from moving (and flower day)
Let's go to the city- A good game, but I was expecting a bit more

 

[xTurnip]

Heh... well I've been playing Animal Crossing: Population Growing for 11 years now... and that's the only one I've played... but I think New Leaf is going to blow my mind compared to the first one... XD

Wild World is left unrated since I've never played it.

 

[SodaDog]

New Leaf: It's quite an improvment.
City Folk: Better than wild world, because wild world was limited.
GameCube: Still great after a decade!
Wild World: It's good, but it feel quite limited.

[UchiCherry]

1. New Leaf - AMAZING!
2. Animal Crossing - More fun things that were took out in future AC games. Example: Morning Aerobics (cute!), Islanders, wishing well
3. City Fold/Let's go to The City - It's not handheld but it's better than WW, still similar but little things have been added, not much though
4. Wild World - graphics are disappointing and not much to do.

[Tenyu]

1. Animal Crossing (best dialogue, best atmosphere, best hourly themes, huge towns)
2. New Leaf (so much to customize, decent hourly themes, lackluster dialogue)
3. Wild World (godawful music, pathetic holidays)
4. City Folk (essentially a port of the WW - apart from the holidays, the only changes made were bad ones)

Despite my harsh words for some of the installments I've thoroughly enjoyed every game in the series.

 

[XTheLancerX]

1. Original. NONE of the other games feel the same... The first game was the TRUE animal crossing, charming, simple, amazing...

2. New Leaf/Wild World are tied for me. New Leaf was great with all the features and all, but Wild World because of nostalgia. I was still new to animal crossing, my cousins played it and we linked up all the time, I always was fascinated how the towns were always different.

3. City Folk. Wild World on the Wii, with better graphics and some more bugs. Thats pretty much all it was. Blegh!

 

[PlasticPinkPiggy]

1. Wildworld Though it was cheesy, horrible graphics, and weeds in every place possible, it was still the only game that I managed to get all the squirrel villagers into one game.

In between. GameCube; Animal Crossing It was amazing, I played this when I was about 6 or 7 and could never remember why I didn't just glue myself to my cousins floor to keep playing it.

2. New leaf I think the point of which the graphics are amazing and it still feels like Animal Crossing is really good, though it would be first if they brought back some of the WW and GC villagers

3. City Folk In honest opinions, CF was a complete mishap and AC is only really for handheld games or the gamecube. They just redid WW and put in some extra crab stuff that made no sense. It was a waste of $30 dollars.

 

[Julum]

1. New Leaf
It has stuff from the GC game, and so much more!
2. GC
This is here because of all the things this game had that others didn't.
3. City Folk
This was way better than Wild World, in my opinion, Pro designs, better holidays, etc.
4. Wild World
The weakest title in the series, in my opinion. Completely worse than the Wii title which I think polished up some of Wild World's flaws. (And the game REALLY needed Pro designs, in my opinion.)

From best to worst :

ACNL : This game manages to glue my eyes on my 3DS for two months. There's much more variety of stuff to do compared to the rest of the franchise, and it's satisfying as heck to achieve our goals.

AC (GCN) : Sure, it did lost a lot of its luster since ACWW was released, but it contained enough charm to warrant nostalgia since it's the first Animal Crossing I ever played.

ACWW : Although online play and more customization rekindled my interest back in its heyday, it felt like bare-bones compared to ACNL and AC (GCN).

ACCF : No major additions excluding the city and WiiSpeak, tacked-on motion controls, and lifeless graphics didn't helped the carbon copy of ACWW to hold an average AC gamer longer than a few weeks. Quite possibly the most disappointing iteration ever!
