Well all you Harvest Moon fans out there are in for a treat. This fall natsume plans to realese the third Harvest Moon game in the exciting trilogy. With great new features like the ability to marry, new shops and items are available too. Guess what, farming fun is just getting started because there are many new townfolk to interact with as well. Yet another plus for the third outstanding game in this trilogy is, it allows more entertainment on the home front(with more animals to raise ,like horses, and new tools like the horse brush, this game has picked the Natsume standard up a notch.) On top of that the carpenter may have a few suprises for you as well. New areas to explore are a small treat compared to the joy you'll have exploring them. New annual events keep you on your toes(or should I say thumbs,) along with the classics. If you're looking for a game everyone will take in their hearts and love forever, this is the one. Moreover, you can upgrade your gaming experience by playing on the brand spankin' new GAMEBOY ADVANCE! If you're ready to get your hands dirty and dig in to Harvest Moon 3, it just might be your pick of the fall gaming crop!!
Dig up some fun!

Harvest Moon 3 is a great game compared ta the other HM games on game boy. In this game you get ta choose different animals like 3 different dogs, a pig, and a eagle and you can more then 1 hoarse amd race them in different racing competions. Theres a new tool the shovel and allows you to dig the ground. Theres a new mini-game snowboarding. Theres an aquarium to see the fish's you have caught and theres a movie theater. You are able ta use a knapsack(just like Harvest Moon:BTN).

All the Harvest Moon games are great, but this one beats the snes version and the previous two gameboy versions by its many options and items and improved gameplay. You have several more animals you can take care of, and more crops to plant. It also has more in-dept gameplay. The only con is that if you choose to be a girl then your game ends after you get married. At least this happens in the japanese version, so it will mostly likely be true here too. I don't know why this happens and it seems sort of stupid to me, especially since I'm a girl and liked the option of being a girl in the game. But still this is a great game and very addictive!
I'll Buy It!

This is going to be the first Harvest Moon game I get. Why? You ask because you can play as a boy or girl, for you ladies out there, its not a shooter, its tons of fun, and you get to marry someone! All in all I like this game because the minigames include snowboarding and other fun activities. This is going to be the last great Game Boy Color Game!

I Love The Part About Being Able To Have 8 Horses. And The Part Having Your Own Spa. And Getting To Have A Pig,Bird,Cat Instead Of Just Having A Dog. I Own (many) Harvest Moon (titles). (...)

I love this game!Even more fun then the last two.Lots of improvements.I saw the review that wasn't very good,but it's not helpful,because they said all there is to do is raise animals and plant things,IT'S A FARMING GAME!what do u expect?anyways,I'd recommend this game.and there is more to do then raise animals and plant things,it's more challenging then it sounds,and even that is fun!

I've been a Harvest Moon fan for quite some time. I became addicted to HM64, was somewhat disappointed with HM for GBC, saw a glimmer of hope with HM2 for GBC, and now am blown away by HM3.
The story is a little different than what was originally posted..this time around, you start right where you finished on the farm in HM2, then the mayor begs you to help on another farm that belonged to a friend of his that passed away. The child of his friend (the opposite of the sex you pick for your character) needs your help running the farm, and works with you. There's more people to interact with, the world is much larger than in the previous games, and some advanced planning is needed to get the job done. All of your seeds are bought in a store on the mainland, and the ferry only goes there 2 days a week (less if it's raining or snowing). Along with the standard animals, you can now raise race horses, and your rucksack can carry all of your tools, seeds, and alot of produce. The nicer you are to your partner, the more work they'll do for you - and they may even ask you to give up your old farm and marry them! With new pets to choose from, a mall to shop in and see all of your old friends from some of the previous games, and a lot of extra-money side jobs to do for the Farmers' Co-Op, this is one of the best HM titles yet.
