I was really looking forward to this game coming out, even though it got delayed twice as it was supposed to be out in July, then August. After reading a few of the first poor reviews i put off buying it until i read the better review of it. I just bought it today and I really like it. Its a lot like the playstation back to nature one, graphics wise and the way you farm and smash rocks with the hammer and all. So those who say it should have been on the gameboy advance just think that the PS1 system had decent 3D graphics and had releases like this one. It has the characters and town from the game cube wonderful life so its like a mix of a few releases. I think its great that harvest moon is on a portable and it makes use of the touch screen, most likely why it wasn't made for the GBA. Even then it is the same price as GBA games so I don't know why people are complaining. Plus seeing how you can see pictures of the graphics on the internet and the game's case itself, it shouldn't have been a shock. I have grown bored of video games lately as they make a lot of ones with great graphics but poor stories and game play. I would rate this as one of the better DS games as they tend to make games which focus on must using the touch screen more than the game play itself which make for very few games for the system i have found enjoyable so far. In this case the touch screen in a benefit as its used to move and equip things quickly. I would have rated this game a 5 if it did have better graphics and movement....you can't move diagonal which shouldn't have been that hard to add into the game.

Great Game / ANNOYING GLITCHES!

I purchased this game because I loved playing Harvest Moon on my Playstation. I was married, my wife was "with child", and I had found all but 2 of the cursed tools. I was anal about saving my game in BOTH slots so that I wouldn't run the risk of anything happening to my 3 months of progress. Turned on my game this morning to find that NEITHER saved game will load. The game freezes up and won't let me do ANYTHING. Talk about frustrating! I think it's time for me to give up my dreams of ruling Mineral Town ... or start ALL over.

Harvest Moon Rocks!

Harvest Moon DS is ideal for true harvest moon fans. Tasks are challenging. It's for someone who truly loves the Harvest Moon experience!

This game will make you Cry if it glitches!

This game is great. I love working the farm, caring for the animals and raising the levels of my crops. What I don't like are the insane glitches. I have had to start my game over 3 times because both save spots went to black screens. If you can't deal with a game you have to spend many hours on to get anywhere going perm black screen and refusing to load, this is not the game for you.

Overall this game is really fun. It has a serious glitch problem though. At random times the game just freezes and it can be very frusterating. I would say that this game is worth the money and that I would reccomend it to anyone who has a love for harvest moon games.

its ok...

This game is fun for the most part, I haven't gotten the freezing glitches some others are getting, but theres a different thing i get, i dont know if its a glitch but it is frustrating... I work hard to impress a girl, then its up a few hearts, then when i go to bed and get up the next morning that girl's hearts are back down to zero... it's like i never even impressed her at all but i did. its frustrating to get a girl up to 5 hearts or something, then to have her just nothing the next day... haha it reminds me of the movie "50 first dates" when that guy has to keep on trying to make her fall in love with him every day because she has short term memory loss. well it seems like I'm the only one with these problems, so have fun if you decide to get this game.

haters.

first off, i'm a huge harvest moon fan. i have every single harvest moon for every system.

okay, so i've read the reviews and there is at least one valid point against this game, that being - there are a fair amount of glitches.

other than this one drawback, the game is awesome.

too many of the reviewers compared this HM to the console versions of HM which is pretty unfair to do being as the console and handheld versions are very different. of course you're going to hate the handheld versions if you have a prefrence for consoles. but comparing this game to the other HMs for the gameboys and ds, well, it is an amazing game. it for sure ties or beats them.

there is much to do, many options for marriage, they made the game a little harder than the other HMs, the graphics are great, the touch screen animal care is great, etc... nothing bad to say about it aside from the glitches. and you know what, if you save often enough and sometimes on file two, you shouldn't have too much of an issue with the freezes. so, sure the glitches suck, but dude, the game is worth a few glitches!

YEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAW!!!!!!!!!

this is a nice game. get it. you can do lots of things, and read the guide cuz you can find out A LOT from it. i'm trying to marry the mermaid. darryl is weird, and dr. hardy is downright creepy. he always talks about it being "inconvenient" to live a long time. scary. the graphics aren't the best, but hey, it's at least portable so you can play it wherever (except a swimming pool). you actually can use the touch screen, but it's easier to use the buttons. i wish they put more stuff in for the stylus. oh well. GET THIS AWESOME GAME!!!!! IT'S ACTUALLY FUN!!!! YOU DON'T KNOW 'TILL YOU TRY IT!!!!!!
that is all.

Frustrating after so much fun..

My son got this game as a present, and loved it. I am a Harvest Moon fan, myself, so I played as well. We'd both made progress, but we have each had our games freeze, having to start our games all over. Seeing that this seems to be a common glitch, I just won't do it. Think I'll stick with the other Harvest Moon games. It's too bad; it's a fun game!

This game is AMAZING! When I got mine, I played it that exact moment. There are many things in this game like there are 14 girls you can marry,there are seasons so you can plant crops and get money,you can dig in the mines to find jewls and other things,and you can befriend the villagers and meet a mermaid! The graphics on this are very well handled,the music is really nice sounding,there are alot of characters. I reccomend buying this game...it is GREAT!
