Like Animal Crossing Wild World, you'll be able to play in a living, breathing world where the days and seasons pass in real time but in City Folk you'll also be able to visit a new urban area. Here you can catch a show at the theatre, check out the sales at Gracie's boutique and go to the salon where you can change your hairstyle and get a Mii makeover. Yet, you mustn't hang around town for too long or the neighbours will miss you.
The other major development in City Folk is voice chat. Using Wi-Fi Connection you can invite up to three friends to visit your town and you'll be able to chat to them with the new WiiSpeak microphone. It sits on top of your sensor bar and picks up the conversation of everyone in the room.
And of course getting to know your neighbours is very important. Animal Crossing is all about befriending your animal neighbours by exchanging gifts and favours.
As always there is so much to do in Animal Crossing and your activities change according to the season. So you'll be able to catch fireflies in summer, go trick or treating on Halloween, hunt for eggs at Easter and build snowmen in winter.
You'll also be able to pass the time going fishing, shopping or simply collecting stuff including bugs, fish, fossils, art, furniture, clothes and accessories.
One thing is for sure, it will keep you going for a long time. Take a look at the trailer now...
