Reviews for Animal Crossing: City Folk have been favorable, but there is one comment that pops up in just about every review. There isn't anyone that thinks that City Folk does enough to differentiate itself from Wild World, or even the Cube original before it. I, too am surprised to see Nintendo innovate so little with this game. Then again, I guess I shouldn't be too shocked. City Folk is for those that are new to gaming on the Wii, just as Mario Kart Wii was.
