Absolutely the best farming simulation ever. I've played the SNES version, the first GB version, and both were fantastic. The essence of love is also put into the game, letting you marry village people and keep lots of loveable animals. In the game, there's farming, love, and economic survival! What more do you want? 100/10!!

This game is DEFINATLY one of the best games for the gameboy. you start off on a farm, you either have to make it a booming farm, or the land will be turned into a cheesy amusment park. You have to clear the feilds of weeds, rocks, and tree stumps before you can till it to plant seeds. If you water them every day, they will grow, then you can sell them. You can also raise cows. They are the Cutest drawn cows i have ever seen! In addition to cows, you can raise chickens and sheep. If you have a friend with Harvest Moon 2, you can trade cows, chickens, and sheep. it is essential to comleting a treasure hunt that gives you something that is one of the best items in the game. There are yearly festivals, including horse races, thanksgiving, and the new years. I would encourage anyone who loves to be ocupied for hours with an interesting game to buy this!

Harvest Moon 2 is a great game. It is relaxing, serene, and will keep you playing for hours at a time. The object is to create a booming farm within three years. The game can be challenging at first, but will become fun very quickly. It upset me at first because the instruction booklet does not go into great detail at all, but like I said, when you figure it out, it will become your favorite game. You can play as a male or female farmer, and you can also pick a dog or a cat as a pet. There are many challenges, but overall a great game. If you are interested in something different from the majority of GBC games, I would recommend this game to you. It is a really great game!
I LOVE it! RPG at its finest!

This is my favorite gameboy game! It's the type of game you can sit and play for hours. Very unique, and incredibly fun for all ages. Harvest Moon 2 is not your traditional RPG. In it, you are given the responsibility of turning an abandoned farm into a successful one within three years, or it will be turned into a theme park. A day's work on the farm can include feeding the animals, milking the cows, collecting eggs, harvesting crops, planting, plowing, clearing fields, searching for berries and mushrooms, fishing, shopping, or mingling with the townspeople. It's the type of game that never gets boring. I give it two enthusiastic thumbs up!
A very very very fun game

This RPG is so close to perfect that I had to give it 5 stars. My kids ordered this and played it night and day for a week. I picked it up on a Friday evening and could not put it down all weekend. My wife thinks I'm nuts! This is great fun for kids and adults.
What's wonderful is that this is a totally non-violent, yet fully engaging gaming experience. The graphics are well-done. The characters are cute. I only have 3 suggestions for improvement: 1) It is sometimes tricky to place your character in the proper position to use a tool, such as the hoe. 2) I wish the game would stop you from planting seeds in the wrong spot. I wasted 500G's of grass seed when I accidentally threw it all over the inside of my house. I almost cried! 3) I wish that HM2 kept the part about finding a wife.
Please support the creation of more nonviolent games by buying this one. My kids loved it so much that we will be planting a garden this summer and raising some chickens!

I thought Harvest Moon one was the best GBC ever. I am always buying games, but never liking them and trading them for more and more games. I am proud to say that I still have and play my first Harvest Moon game. I got HM 2 for Xmas and haven't been able to put it down. This game is soo great. There are so many new features from harvest moon one. I will NEVER trade this game. If you haven't played Harvest Moon one, you can buy it now for cheap and see if you like it...then spend the 30 bucks on Harvest Moon 2. I promise it is money well spent on either game. :)

first of all this is a game that would apeal to the 12 & up age group. And people who like the bang bang blow thier heads off games wouldnt really like it that much, if at all. you start off having the mayor of the city giving you 3 years to bring this old farm back into business, to do this you must get rid off all the rocks and weeds before you can til the ground. its kinda confusin how to get the items and how to plant seeds and junk like that because the little instruction book dont help that much(no offense Natsume). another bad thing is that the days go by very fast about 5-10 min if you play the whole day up to 12'o clock. i rated this game with five stars because it has no guns, swords ect. plus it is very entertainin especially on long car rides....
Awesomely fun game

Harvest Moon 2 is an insanely fun game, which is pretty surprising, seeing as, well...it's a video game based on a farm. Whoever came up with the idea though, is intelligent.
The game starts off with the mayor of a small town being told that a historic farm will be turned into an amusement park. The mayor takes it upon himself to hire someone to fix up the farm, and make enough profit to save it. That's where you come in. You grow fruits and veggies (every season you get new ones), raise animals once you have enough feed/money, and you can fish and gather berries. Every so often new garden tools, extenions to your farm, or plants are available. But, you only have three years to raise enough money to save the farm.
Harvest Moon 2 is really, really fun, but there's a tick (it might just be in my game though, but I'm not sure) - you can't ever buy chickens. They're cheap, and a major source of money, but every time I go to buy them, the shop owner says I don't have enough feed. (I have the max. capacity of food stored in the silo.)
Overall grade - A
