Animal Crossing vs The Good Life
Animal Crossing
Animal Crossing is the critically-acclaimed first game in the popular simulation series where you play as the new mayor of a quaint little town filled with adorable animal characters, such as K.K. Slider and Tom Nook, each with their own unique personalities and quirks.Animal Crossing has caught the attention of the gaming community mainly because it is possibly the first game to have integrated the passing of time based on the time in real life. This means if you log in after a few days, you'll notice some changes these few days have wrought. The decor in town will automatically change as well during special holidays.
Sounds like a game you'll enjoy? Well, the original Animal Crossing game is no longer available since Nintendo has discontinued its Gameboy Cube platform, but you can still experience the series by playing any one of their other Animal Crossing games.
The Good Life
The Good Life is a 3D adventure RPG featuring quests to complete, a mystery to unravel, and also a person speeding away in a highly advanced wheelchair that you can’t seem to catch up to. In this game, you play as a rather snobbish photographer from New York who’s in a massive amount of debt and the only way out is for you to complete this mysterious assignment you’re sent on – to discover why a sleepy little town is known as “the happiest town in the world”.As you play, you’ll unlock a feature that allows Naomi to change form. Without giving away too many spoilers, just know that by “changing forms”, Naomi will be able to reach areas she wouldn’t be able to reach otherwise, allowing her to uncover clues that will help in her investigation. The forms will also give her the chance to collect certain materials that she’ll need to complete quests.
The highlight of the game, however, is definitely its photography aspect. If you’ve enjoyed games where the goal is to simply capture nature at its best, then you’ll love the camera action here. Not only can you upgrade your camera (its lens specifically) to allow for more variety of shots, you actually need to rely on your photo-taking skills to earn a living in this game.
The Good Life is a pretty fun and charming adventure RPG with an interesting story to follow. The game’s easy enough for even young children to enjoy, though the protagonist, Naomi, might not make the best role model.
