Well, first off the game is Animal Crossing.
As for the list, I can understand with Luigi's Manion, it was a fun game, but it was too easy, too short and well just lacking something special so I can see what he means.
Animal Crossing is either a love or hate game in my book. I mean some people may be put off by the fact there is no true ending, the graphics are rather outdated and blocky, the typing is a b!tch and well the game doesn't have much action, for all it's faults, it's still a pretty neat game.
I think the problem from Mario stems more from expectations than anything else. I mean sure Mario Sunshine had it's fault such as the camera, the so-so graphics and well the short number of levels. But I think the thing that hate the game the most was the lack of variety, a lack of variety in the level design (some could say Nintendo was brave in not sticking to the conventional level design of fire,ice, water and whatever else) but the uniform theme made it hard for any level to be too different from any other. A lack of variety in the goals, I mean each level had atleast one "secret" area, one 100 gold coings search, 8 red coins search, boss battle and the Water Mario chase. After a while it starts to wear thin, but I think it was a fun game, just not too much variety for the long haul or any real reason to complete it then to find your ego. By complete, I mean get 120 Shines.
