I don't have this game yet, but I want it. Even though I want to have the girls version, I only have a PS2 and a Nintendo 64. I'm glad they actually have 2 PS2 games for Harvest Moon! I only have 2 of the Hrvest Moon games. I'm totally getting this game as soon as posibal! Even if I spelled that wrong! Look out people, Here I come!

Awesome can't wait to start playing!

Ports Do Not Equal "Just Switching Over the Game"

When I heard about the SE edition getting ready to be released, I loved some of the new features mentioned. Your child could be either a boy or a girl and you could continue playing after the main story mode.
With features I wanted from the GC original, I decided to trade in my GC version for this one.
I was horrified by the color and textures in this game. What was done so beautifully on the gamecube is blocky, far too bright in some places and far too dark in others. The character moves very slow in some spots, particularly where rendering for other things/objects is needed and insanely fast in open areas, such as the beachside.
Likewise, there is a delay in ALL movements with the main character. Jump a fence? 2-3 second delay before you can begin moving again. Pull something out of your backpack? Another delay. Put something IN your backpack? Another delay. Basically what it amounts to is you spend more of your gameplay waiting to be able to MOVE or do anything else than actually play.

Now, to be a little more professional in this, allow me to say that there is no excuse for these problems.
Not only was the PS2 version delayed several times before initial release but, despite the fact that the GC may be more advanced than the PS2 now, this should make no difference. When a game is ported from one system to another, it should be common sense that you can't just rip the game off the other system and slap it verbatim onto another one. Systems do not render music, sound or texture in the same way. Thus ALL ports require a bit of tinkering and retooling to have them work from one system to another.
Do /not/ buy this game. If you have a PS2 only and want a Harvest Moon game, buy Back to Nature. Or heck, even Save the Homeland. All this game will do is cause you to be vaguely angry over speed issues, texture and color issues.

Rent First...

I have all three games for the playstation/2, and this is my favorite. I don't even notice any "choppy" graphics or anything. The music is pretty cool, and you can find and buy more records to change it. The character does move quite slow, but after a while you get use to it. And then when you get a horse, the problem is basically eliminated.

If you only have a playstation 2 and have never played A Wonderful Life/Another Wonderful Life for the Game cube, you'll LOVE this game.

If you do have a game cube and have played either of those games, you may not like this game so much.

You only have four festivals, one every season which are each 10 days long. But the days are very long, so you don't have to worry about not having enough time to do anything.

This game is very addicting, as I have been playing it all weekend and am in Chapter 2. The children are adorable, and great bundles of joy. You can snuggle, pat, talk, and throw/catch them. Your wife does help out a little bit, and leaves the house.

You can do different things to influence your childs, future and interests.

There are many animals to choose from, even ducks, you can also get different colored horses. You can even chose if you want a son or daughter by talking to the pot in the Sprites place untill it say you win, then talk to the harvest sprites and chose. You also have the ability to now marry Lumina.

And it is also, by far, my favorite harvest moon game.

I'd say you should rent it first, and decide if it's for you from that.

Slow but good

I've started playing this game for a while and I have noticed it is a bit slow. Most people will tell you not to buy the game but you really should its still a great game the only reason I could think of not buying is unless the slow running and the loading screen extremely bother you. What comments I've heard from other people is that at first the game speed bothered them but they got used to it. All the new features in the game are awesome and its a great game to play ^^!

i didn't play it yet but i studied it on the computer. it sounds awesome!

But now i'm glad u can get a girl! And u can finally marry Lumina! I've waited for that for a while. And the music is awesome. Even by the sound of it, i know this game is awesome.
