I'm pretty new to Animal Crossing and my first game was New Leaf, but recently my cousin gave me her extra copy and I'm gonna be going backwards xD
So whats City Folk like? How different is it from New Leaf? I know the grass dies faster but thats pretty much the extent of my City Folk knowledge :X
Honestly, City Folk is pretty bad (compared to New Leaf). It's still a fun game in my opinion, and I played it a lot, but NL is just so much better.
After playing Wild World I was really excited about City Folk and I expected it to be a huge improvement. It wasn't really, but I still liked the whole city aspect. A lot of people thought the city part was a huge letdown, but I liked it. It would have been nice if there were more shops, but I didn't really care (the city was basically like main street in NL).
The people are midgety, which is how they are in all AC games (except for NL). It's sort of weird to compare the CF people to the NL people because of the strange height difference, but I didn't even notice because I was used to the standard AC people heights.
One little quirk that I liked about the game was lost keys. They were basically the same as a lost item in NL, except you had to fish a key out of the river when a villager got locked out of their house. It was fun. XD
I'd say it's a game that probably no one would want to waste their money on nowadays. It's meh. For me it was extremely boring after awhile, but still very addicting. I'd want to stop playing because I would be bored out of my mind, but...I just couldn't. I'll probably never play again though, now that I have NL.
