Harvest Moon Ds will keep you playing for hours! The naughty witch princess accidently made the harvest goddess and all the harvest sprites disappear. It's up to you to find them all! In this game you get not only a free dog but also a free black cat!! Aww, it's so cute! Getting married is really fun! But it's kinda weird since you play as a boy and marry a girl (I'm a girl) But the babies are really cute! The town is alot better than in the GBA! It is much bigger and the graphics are enhanced! Pick up this game and get ready for a farming adventure of your life! Be sure not to litter, it makes people not like you! You can not marry the goddess or the witch.
I love Harvest Moon

I haven't had the opportunity to play every Harvest Moon game available, but having played a few of the most popular I can say that thee DS Harvest Moon is one of the best.
I've discovered a few glitches, but they seem to change from cartridge to cartridge. And none of them are very bothersome.

Great game, but has fatal glitches that erase game save data. Otherwise, it's a great game that I love.

Ok... i got the game really antcipating a harvest moon for the ds... but it is BAD. I had played the boy and girl version of the game, and LOVED them... but this... ug. The first time i played it there was no one in the town. My poor guy was all alone... so i had to start the game over. THEN it started freezing up. After those few headaches, it was ok... the new animals are fun and all, but having to manually pet them EVERY DAY is annoying. THe game is good for first-play thrills... but the long term gaming is BORING.

Harvest Moon DS is a great game for hours of fun! Yet I'm trying not to sound like a jerk here but it isn't really the best RPG game I own... But it is still a VERY good game! But my ONLY major complaint is one little glitch in the game that erases your file. So i'll say this now: HMDS is a VERY FUN GAME except to keep it fun DON'T HIT SAVE THEN TURN OFF YOUR DS!
You think you guys have it bad? Read this!

Whenever I put the cartridge into my DS, it doesn't read the game! The only way I can get it to work is by moistening the actual chip (the part showing at the bottom of the back) and pushing it in/out multiple times! Even then, when I turn on the game, it freezes at the part where it's supposed to say "licensed by Nintendo!" When I finally get it to work, it freezes every now and then. Aside from all the glitches, it's still a good game. The only thing I hate is that my animals sometimes become unhappy even when I feed them. Another bad thing is that I can never catch fish. You can only catch them at like 6:00-8:50. Luckily you can get money from the fish from the Harvest Sprites. Like I said, this game is good but the glitches and bugs really bring down it's rating.
Best DS Game EVER!!!

Harvest Moon is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUN! My dad ordered it right here from Amazon.com and after reading the reviews I was scared it would be WAY too glitchy. After I got it in the mail I didn't have any glitches exept after two weeks of playing it but I only had one tiny glitch, all you have to do is save every now-and-then and you won't have a problem.
Hint:If you buy this game and you want to buy a cow DON'T buy a fodder animal shelter, even though it is the cheapest!!! I bought one and it collapesed and killed my cow!
Super Fun! There's soo much to do!

Havest moon ds is really fun!!! It was the first game I bought for my ds. There are soo many things to do!!! And there are no glitches. I dont know why people keep saying there are so many glitches.. and if there are, theyre minor glitches.
But if you play for too long.. it kind of gets boring, but still, its a great game, and its one of the cheapest. xD

This Game is really great. But since i got this game it has frozen about 5 times. I have had to redo my settings about 4 times. But this is a awesome game. I cannot wait for Island of Happiness to come out.
Good at first . . .

When I first got this game for my DS, I was addicted. It was my favorite game. But there are definitely some drawbacks. Like many of the other reviews stated, there are a lot of glitches and this game is a lot more likely to freeze than most other games. Secondly, the way the game looks isn't that great in my opinion; the graphics in games such as Catz, Pokemon Diamond, and Animal Crossing are a lot better. Actually, the graphics on this game aren't that much better than those of Game Boy Advance games, and if on the game you speak to a character, the text appears and moves rather slowly. The music gets annoying after a few minutes, so I usually turn off the volume when I play this game. Another thing is the lack of WiFi. It would certainly improve the game if you could interact with other "real people." Though one can do farm chores for hours on end without getting bored, for me, the game started to get old after a while, mainly because it was hard for me and probably other amateur gamers also to find Harvest Sprites, and a lot of the game's features (such as getting married and having a child)are closed to those who haven't yet found all 60 of them, and doing the same farm chores and talking to the same people gets old after a while. It was fun while it lasted, but Animal Crossing: Wild World, in my opinion, is a much better choice for a "daily life" game.
