when you first start this game it is kind of neat and It has good graphics, but if you like to play video games alot and constantly, this game is not for you. it gets boring really quickly and its the same thing over and over.

You really should NOT buy this item.

It is terrible! I saved a lot of money and wasted it on this game! You are always losing things, the controls are confusing, and it is no match for any other GB color game. I highly reccomend it on the playstation though, it is really quite fun. My favorite is the back to nature addition, but they are all addictive!!!

IT'S NOT A POOR GAME

I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO BUY GAMES THAT ARE PUBLISHED BY NATSUME, BUT THIS GAME IS SO DISSAPOINTING FOR ME. THIS GAME IS SO INTERESTING AT FIRST BUT IT BECAME BORING AND STUPID LATER ON.WHAT KIND OF STUPID GAME IS THIS? THIS IS THE MOST STUPID GAME AMONG ALL THE OTHER HARVEST MOON SERIES."HARVEST MOON BACK TO NATURE" WAS GOOD BUT NOT THIS ONE. I'LL TELL YOU WHY THIS GAME IS SO STUPID.BUYING SEEDS,WATERING CROPS,TAKING CARE OF THOSE SILLY ANIMALS REALLY BORES ME.THE TOWN IS SMALL.YOU CANNOT WALK AROUND.I GAVE THIS GAME 2 STARS BECAUSE IT IS PUBLISHED BY NATSUME. THEREFORE, I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO BUY THIS STUPID GAME

Not the best Harvest Moon, but still wildly addictive...

For starters, if you have never played Harvest Moon I would more reccommend Harvest Moon 64, or the later Game Boy versions. If you are a seasoned fan, you may get a kick out of this.

[Junk] Factor: In this particular Harvest Moon, your character cannot befriend the villagers, there are not loads of exciting festivals, and you cannot get married or have a child. You can only have four cows, no sheep, six chickens, a horse, and one dog or cat. Each name can only be four characters long, so get used to abbreviations.

Fun level: You can choose gender, unlike most of the Harvest Moon games, you can actually play a woman. You can also choose between a dog or a cat. There is a village, just not people to befriend. You can also get all sorts of magical tools, like an umbrellla that causes rain.

Other differences: It is not you father that comes to review your work for the year, it is actually your grandfather come from beyond the grave.

So once again, I would reccommend other Harvest Moons for people, but if you do not care, or do not like the village and the marrying business, go for it. It's still a reather fun game.

An ok game

Harvest Moon for the Game Boy started out as a boring game where you just planted seeds and bought stuff at the town. Until after a long time, the game got pretty interesting. I got to own animals, ride the horse, and do things like that. I ignored the game for a while because it was really boring and there was nothing to do, but then I tried it out for a couple of hours and found that it did get quite interesting.

Overall, this game was all right and a good waste of time :op. Harvest Moon did get interesting because of all the new things that happen, but you keep doing the same things over and over again. So, in a way it was interesting and in a way, boring!

A fun and addicting little game.

I first got this game because I saw my friend playing it, right then I wanted to play. So I got it and it was quite a pleasure to take care of my farm and watch it grow while saving up for new animals or bigger crops. If you get past the cute looking graphics you'll realize there is a fun little gem of a game in there. There are few downsides to this game, but they are downsides that really hurt it. The first one that comes to mind is that there is no real ending of the game. Also after a week or so of play, you can get pretty sick of the game, and let me tell you, when you get sick of this game you really get sick of this game. Its a pretty fun game that you should check your local bargain bin for.

Unique game with a lot of depth

Harvest Moon GBC is one of those games that comes around very rarely---well, almost never. You won't see any mortal kombat, explosions, or automatic weapons. What you will discover, however, is a unique game that has quite a bit of depth. What other game allows you to operate a farm?

You begin the game with the task of turning a forgotten farm into a money-maker. This is no small chore, as the fields are overrun with brush and rocks that you have to clear out. How else will you be able to plant vegetables and grass?

Your vegetable crops are a primary source of income, and, once you plant enough grass, you can buy livestock.

While farming is the obvious focus of the game, there are some other interesting facets in Harvest Moon. Social events occur every so often, such as a picnic and a Xmas party. Also, you pick a pet (cat or dog) to keep you company during your days.

Harvest Moon is definitely a game worth buying. You will find yourself pondering ways to make your harvest more profitable while you aren't even playing.

Make sure you pick up some extra batteries, though. You will probably need them with this one.

A outstanding game but not quite up to the SNES standard.

This game is loads of fun and allows for hours of enjoyment of creative thinking and budgeting to be succesful. First things first this game I wouldn't reccomend for littler children because it can be frusterating when you make mistakes that can't be fixed. I liked how you could keep playing after two years but you can't pick up a bride or have a baby in this game which was one of the fondest memories I have of the SNES game and you can't explore the moutains either because they were taken out. You can however still breed cows and chickens but not as much. Another good point of this game is that it is game link compatible which allows you to trade seeds and livestock with friends. This is a great buy for someone who is not easily frusterated but you may want to opt for the new N64 version(I have not played this yet) or the SNES one.

Farming comes to your gameboy....

I got this game b/c I was looking for something different. Well, that is exactly what I got.

Harvest Moon is a game definitely aimed at the older crowd; I don't think kids will have a lot of fun with it.

You begin with the task of clearing up the land around your farm. This task takes awhile and is tedious, but once you get that done the fun begins.

Planting crops becomes the main activity of the game, but there are other things to do. You have a year to make the farm successful, and the days pass quickly. You can also purchase livestock to make the money really roll in. It takes time though, to accumulate the funds to buy animals, so be patient.

Buy this game if you are not a kid.

A Good Game Overall

To some, Harvest Moon may seem repetitive. You wake up in the morning, take your cat/dog outside, run to the tool shed, grab your water can (at least in the early stages), run up to your sprouts, and press 'A' to water them. Every single day. This is the type of game Harvest Moon is. Your entire day is consisted of doing chores. Feeding animals, watering vegetables. Some of you may be thinking "Uhh..and this is a GAME?" It's a lot funner then you'd think. When I first started the game, I was completely confused. You have an entire farm that you're supposed to manage. I had NO idea what to do first-what type of vegetables to plant, where to plant them, etc. The instruction booklet gives some hints, but something to walk you through your first day would have been nice. Harvest Moon is a big game, but one that is intricate, rather then huge. Every single thing you do can make the difference between a prosperous farm, or a dilapidated shack. You might accidently plant the grass where you should have planted the turnips. You might accidently whack a gnome on the head with a hammer. And this is what makes it such a fun game. There are so many things you COULD do, but only if you take the time to do them. Hmmm.. To conclude, I have to say Harvest Moon is a fun game. I give it four starts because, at times, it does get rather repetitive. But really, you don't even notice it. It's just part of the game. You race to get your broccli watered so that you can pick your turnips in time for the collector to get them. See? You're thinking like a farmer already.
