Like Power-Mad said, it's basically a simulated life as a young boy in a town filled with animals with different personalities. While playing the game, you can fish, buy items, catch bugs, talk to other animals, make clothes, and even do things like send mail.
It's a very addictive thing because certain fish come around at certain times, which is the same as bugs. You basically work your way through life, adding onto your house, filling it with things like arcade machines or wide-screen tvs.
It's a very fun and addicting game. Unlike a lot of games, there really is no end. Whatever time it is where you actually live, it's that time in your Animal Crossing town. Every time you play the game, something new comes up to do. It's very fun. I will admit, I was going to sell the game a few weeks ago, but then I started playing it more. It really got addicting after Sonic and I started to log onto the wifi network.
Wifi works like this: you get a friend code, your friend gets a friend code, you exchange these codes, and are able to visit each other's town. This means that you can interact with those in his or her town, use their stuff, fish, catch bugs, buy things; it's pretty much an endless list of stuff.
Well, it's a very good game and I hope more people get into it! The more people, the more items you are able to collect. Say, I got a widescreen tv from my store, Sonic can then come to my town, pick the tv up, give it back to me,then the item is logged into your personal catalog. After he goes back to his town, he can go to the store and order the tv to be delivered to him.
