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!!

In this version of harvest moon, an evil corporation is trying to take over the farm. you say you will take care of the farm and you are told that you will have a partner to work with you (depending on whether your a boy or a girl is what your partner will be). The girl take care of the animals, but can also do work in the fields, but isnt as fast as the boy. when you start out as a girl, you have one adult female cow in your barn. dont forget about her or she will die after 3 days of neglect! when you are the boy, you dont have any animals to start with. the girl and the boy have some of the same tools, and some different tools. But best of all, you can get married in this game and have kids! ive heard you can have 2 kids in this game. and unlike harvest moon 64, you can have up to 8 horses of various colors and you can ride all of them! you can have 8 of each animal (sheep, cows, horses, and chickens) and there are new tools you can buy like a mayonaisse maker, cheese maker, sweater maker, yarn maker, and butter maker! and there are new crops like wheat, rice, sweet potatoes, watermelons,asparagus, and many flowers. you can get a part time job at the farmer's union on the mainland, and if you make friends with the fishermen in the village, they will give you your own boat which you can use for sailing, fishing, going to the mainland, and eventually visiting marla the mermaid in her cave.... have fun!!!

Fun? Oh yeah!!

I haven't played any other of the Harvest Moon versions, but I love this one. Choose and name yourself, your partner, and your pet. Begin hard work (that's actually fun!) on the farm in order to earn money for even more seeds and animals. I'm not at this point of the game, yet, but I hear you can marry your partner and even have kids. Plus, you can explore so many places! Gather food in the grasslands, talk to friends in the village, explore the cliff, mountain, and forest. Take the ferry to the mainland and check out the aquarium, movie theater, farmer's union, and shopping mall. Have fun!

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!

-Great animals
-Personalized Clothes and pets!
-Boy and girl versions avalible
-Island and mainland areas
-Go relax. See a movie or take a stroll through the Aquarium.
-Buy new tools and two new crops, wheat and rice!
-Hours of replay time and a whole lotta' fun on long trips.

I recommend Harvest Moon 3 for children 6+ because of many reading areas and nonstop fun for us old kids!

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.

Dig up some fun!

Harvest Moon one had a failure which rested in the tool system. Sometimes you would lose your tools and couldn't get them back. Harvest Moon 2 was okay but I never got into it that much.

This game is fantastic and blows away the other two. You now can raise 32 animals at a time. 8 cows, 8 horses, 8 chickes, and 8 sheep. If you are the girl your job is to do the animals while the boy works, or, if your the boy, you till the soil while the girl does the animal stuff. You can also do some minigames and build relationships with people in town.

There are problems with this game. The major one is that you need to build up your relationship with the girl or the boy(depending on the one you are) to have them do work. I'm the boy right now and the girl doesn't do much unless you give her items that you harvest. Once you do give more she will become much better but at first she is rather useless. I tried the girl and the same thing happens. The boy is too lazy to clear the field. He removes basically a rock and gives up. In time he gets better but it takes exactly that, time.

This is a good game. It gets fun and you have plenty of years to accomplish your goals. 5 stars!

The Best HM game yet!

This was the BEST HM game I'd ever played! You can take care of animals, grow tons of crops, and own more than one horse! You can even marry your partner, but the game ends after you do if you're a girl. But don't worry- you don't have to get married! Overall, the best game you could ever own!
