In other Animal Crossing games, you could make the characters mad at you if you whacked them with your shovel enough times. There are no repercussions for designing something that was the complete opposite of what your client asked for. This brings up another issue I had with the game. I really enjoyed designing homes for clients who were more vague in their requests. This makes designing the room a no-brainer.Д«ut they arenвЂ™t all this way. Upon opening your inventory to get started, you will magically see all of the Rococo furniture items added to your inventory. Some of the clientsвЂ™ descriptions will be very specific. This brings up my first irritation with the game. At the beginning you have a limited number ofВ wallpaper, floors, and furniture to choose from.В As you move forward, more of these things areВ added to inventory. Much of the gameplay here involves navigating inventory and moving things around.

But that gameplay is secondary to the designing aspect in Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer.

The act of running around the town and interacting with other characters is the same as itвЂ™s always been in the Animal Crossing games. Once youвЂ™ve designed LottieвЂ™s home, you start working with other clients, who follow a similar pattern. You need to useВ those pieces, along withВ herВ style request, toВ design herВ home. Once the boxes are opened, youвЂ™ll find theyВ containВ furniture pieces that LottieВ really wants to see appear in herВ home. There areВ a few cardboard boxes in each room. YouвЂ™re taken directly to a mostly empty room to work your magic upon. After being chidingly warned not to screw up, you meet with Lottie, who wants a вЂњlovelyвЂќ home. Your job is to help the townsfolk by designing homes to fit their tastes, and eventually design large town facilities for the townsfolk to hang out in.В As you start the game, youвЂ™re given a client to help. You work with other characters, including Tom Nook himself, although he seems to take a lot of vacations because you only get to interact with him a few times. Instead youвЂ™re the brand-new employee of Nook Homes, run of course by Tom Nook, who always seems to own everything.

But unlike the other games, you donвЂ™t have your own house. Much like any other Animal Crossing game, youвЂ™re placed into a town that needs a littleВ work. However, despite some minor irritations, I ended up liking what I played quite a bit. But this game is a different take on the traditional Animal Crossing formula, and I didnвЂ™t quite know what to expect. Hearing the delightful high-pitched jibber jabber was the first thing that sucked me back into the world IвЂ™ve loved for so long. ItвЂ™s the first time IвЂ™ve talked to a character in an Animal Crossing game in a long time. I just finished playing through the latest in the series, Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer. I spent lots of time playing the original GameCube version and went on to play Wild Word for literally a year. Maybe itвЂ™s better to say I LOVE Animal Crossing.
