On television recently they've been advertising Animal Crossing for the Nintendo Wii a lot, this strikes me as the single most dull computer game I have ever come across!

Am I missing something?

I was wondering if anybody actually found this game of interest?

It looks horrifically tedious to me, but I'm not one of the pre-teen girls it is probably aimed at. So who knows...

Apparently so, though I find it hard to believe.

The advert is, by a very small margin, less annoying than the smug, personality free mongs in the Wii Music advert. They must all die by my axe and when I find out where they live, they will. . . . . ranting

I explained the concept to my 8 and 11 year old sisters and they both liked the sound of it. Unfortunately me and our brother have already bought Harvest Moon for the Wii as a joint Christmas present, but the 8 year old turns 9 in January so it's on the "possible birthday present" list.

Apparantly it also tunes itself in to the internal clock of your Wii so you play it in a kind of "real time", it's day light in the game when it's day light when you're playing, and night if you're playing it in the evening. Personally that would drive me up the wall but that only adds to the "coolness", apparently.

DO let me know and I'll bring some grapefruit spoons, which will give them a vague idea as to the amount of mental torture they cause to the rest of the human race!
