I am a TRUE harvest moon fan and I LOVE ALL the harvest moon games except this one because, when your playing the game it periodicly freezes out of no where and if you have not saved the game you are basicly in trouble. It froze on me I don't know how many times and I thought it was my DS Lite but then I found on here that other people said their game froze on them too. I couldnt even leave town untill I found everyone and it was a pain to play. I ended up returning it because it froze so much, and I was told by the guy at the game store that he had A LOT of complaints about this game because of its glitch of freezing. A few months later I was in another game store and seen this girl that was looking at it and she was literally about to buy it but I told her do buy it and she was like why and I told her that the game has glitches and it freezes on you from time to time and if you havent saved the game then you lose whatever you just did. I also told her it can screw up your DS and she thanked me and ended up getting monkey ball or something. BOTTOM LINE DO NOT GET THIS GAME!

I'm so dissapointed!!! What a let down!!!

When I found about Harvest Moon I was so excited and waited 4 months for it. I read a TON of reviews and even though they were bad I bought it. I am very dissappointed. If there were negitave ratings I'd rate it negitave 100. I tried playing it and here are it's problems,

It's lacks big time on graphics
It's almost impossible to get money
It's hard to marry people

What you do is you walk around. You can faint. You lose money when you faint. I hear you can bake but I never got enough money for that. You also have animal contests and you try to make your animal the best looking and the healthiest. What I did is try to mine. I harvested. And I tried to impress girls. The days in harvest Moon are too short it's like a minute per hour and you have to go to sleep before you faint. and you can't decide when to wake up (you wake up at 8 or 6 depending what time you go to bed. You have to water the plants/crops every day and it takes a long time. After that you don't have much time to do things. Harvest Moon is too complicated. I was never able to understand how much eating heals and how to know how much energy you have. There are many other problems with Harvest Moon but I might make you bored reading so much.

This game should have been for the GBA because I never got to use the touchpad screen and the graphics are bad. When I say the grapics are bad I mean HORRIBLE! I've played GBA games and some of the games graphics are better than Harvest Moon. I played it for a week hoping it would get better but it never did. I couldn't even buy a barn for the farm so I never got to take care of animals. It's a big waste of money. I ignored all the bad reviews (even though they are all saying the game stinks) and I regret it because I sold a month after for only 12 dollars! Listen to all the other complaints and don't buy this game. Trust me there are awsome games out there like Finnal Fantasy III or Animal Crossing. Please don't buy it! You will most likely regret buying it like all the other people that were dissapointed (which is about 89%.) If you're not sure you might want to see it on somebodies ds before you buy it. Trust me I don't know exactly why there are some good reviews for Harvest Moon, maybe people just like to write good reviews for things. Believe me I have a lot of ds games and I like all different kinds of games. Don't buy it! It's not worth it! Go have some fun with some other game! NOT Harvest Moon!

Fun, But Not Fun

Well, this game is a lot fun. But the thing is, it has glitches! When it froze for me, I lost all my progress, and I kept trying, but it kept freezing! When you play, you could be playing for a whole hour and it wouldn't have froze yet, and you'll be all happy thinking that you got a lucky copy. Not true. Don't take a chance. The freezing is totally random. So, if you don't mind losing all your progress and frustration all the time, this is the game for you! If you buy it, remember, glitches or fun!

Worst EVER!

This is the worst Harvest Moon game ever! I am a huge Harvest Moon fan, and I have played avery single Harvest Moon game ever made, but this is definintly the worst! The game will suddenly stop, and you can't do anything but turn the power off, so your game is not saved, and you have to start out where you last saved! It is so annoying! Plus, another glitch is that if you have anough wood and gold to expand your house, the wood chopper dude still says you don't have enough! Plus caring for your animals with the stylus gets really annoying after a while, and really messes up your screen from all the rubbing. Do not buy this game! I would suggest Harvest Moon Magical Melody.

ONE GLITCH AFTER ANOTHER

This is the biggest discrace to the DS gaming in the Universe! It's the usual farming experience but with horrible graphics. They should of just put this game on the Game Boy Advance!

Wonderful game, but the glitches are too depressing!

I Love Love Love this game! I have tried to play it several times, but have never gotten farther than the second year because of the game freeze! I save in both slots, only reload mid-game when absolutely necessary, but it doesn't help. I even sent my cartridge back to the company and got a new one, and it still froze. It is so depressing to have so much going... a pregnant wife, almost enough money to build a new basement, rescuing over half the sprites, crops that you've leveled up, animals that you've worked hard on and are hoping will win the festivals... and then all of the sudden it's all gone. I can't start over again. I'm waiting for the new Wii version!!

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!

Harvest Moon DS-- not that fun

I didn't have the problems of my game freezing, as the other reviewers seemed to have, but I still didn't enjoy this game. I love the Harvest Moon series of games, but this version is extremely frustrating. It's extremely difficult to keep the characters' friend and affection levels from dropping to zero each day, so I don't even want to imagine what it would take to get one of the girls to like you enough to marry them.

I also read on a site somewhere that there's a glitch in the game that doesn't allow you to marry the Goddess or Witch, which is no fun. It would've been fun to finally pick the Goddess as your bride. Maybe this information is incorrect, though.

Anyway, I bought this game at a videogame store, and was lucky that they had a 7 day return policy, if I ended up not liking the game. That's precisely what I did-- now I have a new game that doesn't make me want to throw my DS across the room ^^;. It would be much more fun if they decided to port Harvest Moon 64 or one of the Playstation versions to the DS-- they just need to recreate an already enjoyable version for the DS.

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.
