*yawns*

This game doesn't half get old quick, I can't even be bothered to play it to be honest.

I've played it solidly since the day I got it up until yesterday when I couldn't be bothered with it, turned it on again today and yet again I couldn't be ar-sed.

I've already ignored the fact that I was suppoed to turn the lighthouse on tonight and I'm gonna miss the singing dog but to be honest I couldn't care less.

Brilliant game at first, no doubt about that but after a while the fun turns to abject tedium.

I read on one site, it says that rather than playing really hard to complete a game in a cuple of days by playing like 7hours non stop, AC is designed to make you play like 15mins a day, then the next and the next.

On the contrary, I think its the sort of game designed so that you have to play solidly, in terms of missing certain events or people leaving your town through ignorance. Personally I'm enjoying, and it should more than tide me over till Metroid Prime.

I'm not too surprised.

I don't think it's meant to be the sort of game you play solidly.


I reckon you'll leave it a week, and then start playing it casually, only playing when you want to, or something along those lines...
I'm sure you'll still be playing it here and there in six months time, atleast I think.

I'll have it in a few days.

In 2 weeks, I'll probably be saying how boring it's become with you telling me that it gets good again! :-)

I haven't played it but I'm guessing that it would be more interesting if it was released in the UK as loads more people would have the game so you would be able to trade etc. with your mates.

Try and get one of your mates to play the game - then you can have real trades instead of just swapping passwords - believe me, if you actually have another town to mess up, residents to turn against, and destruction to cause to another person#s town this game is neverending.
