Animal Crossing is a very, very addictive game. It all starts when you move to a little town in the country side, and start working for the shopkeeper – Tom Nook. After that, though, you can do practically whatever you want – enter competitions to catch bugs and fish – watch  firework displays or go out with your friends – without even going out! But once you stepaway from all the digging and fishing and mail addicted animals, it seems crazy! And always running after your supposed friends is sometimes repetitive and boring!

I do like listening to KK, though. I often change the time on my clock just to listen to him whistle along to his guitar tune. But inviting your friends over is the best thing to do by far! Using Wifi, you can even invite up to four friends into your town from anywhere around the world (but you’ll need to find out their friend code first)!!!!

UNLOCKABLES:

* When you begin the game, Nook asks you if you would like to join the HRA, or Happy Room Academy. If you choose to join they will give you points for your room. If you get a certain amount, you will get;

70,000 points – one story model

100,000 points - two story model

150,000 points – mansion model

To get extra points, place rare items in your room, do not leave equipment or fruit lying on the floor and pay off your mortgage to get a bigger house.

                                                         

* To get a moldy shirt, talk to Gracie (She is a giraffe that often pays a visit to the plaza outside your town hall). She sometimes encloses one in her certificates.

* To Get the Golden Fishing Rod, catch every known fish.  For the Golden Net, catch every known bug. To get the Golden Shovel, bury a normal shovel and leave it for at least 24 hours. When dug up it should be golden. To get the Golden Watering Can, you must keep the enviroment perfect for 16 days. Pelly or Phyllis will give you this. The Golden Axe (which never breaks) is probably the hardest to get. Give a Golden Scallop to Pascal (the strange animal that waits along the beach every now and then). He will give you the Golden Axe.
