Sorry, but I didn't like it

A very special person got me this game, and I was grateful at first and tried to love it for her sake, not wanting to hurt her feelings that I didn't like a game she spent so much money on.

But it's repetitive and boring, with no clear goals. All you do every day is check the television, gather the honey, fish, and farm. If you're lucky you can get around to the city before you get too tired or all the shops are closed after you get done farming.

The same thing, day in, day out. Even the hints and help I found around the Internet about this game didn't make it more fun.

Disappointed

I got this game after playing Harvest Moon; A Wonderful Life on GameCube. There is no comparison. This game is boring and progress is VERY slow. Go for the GameCube version...you won't be disappointed. FYI: "linking up" is certainly not worth the money you spend on the Friends of Mineral Town.

Only get this game if you need your veggies...

All previous Harvest Moon games have been great, but this is a big exception. There are only two tools that you can use! how helpful is that?? This is dumb.

Compared to HM:AWL,this game is meh

I got HM:A Wondeful Life and LOVED it,simply LOVED it!
I played until midnight the day I got it,and kept on playing every day!

I decided to try the GBA HM a spin and I was disapointed with what I got.

Time goes by to quicker than in AWL and the years take too long

The biggest problem is that it gives you no reason to keep going.
In AWL,as the years go by,you get married,have a kid and watch him grow and help influence his career;sure,you can get married and have a kid in this one,but that only means you get to talk to them everyday so they don't hate you.
In AWL,you can do so much with your son,here you just talk to him.

These days,I have stopped playing AWL and FOMT is forgotten.
But I'll always love AWL and hate FOMT

Back to Nature is better!

yes I downloaded this one off the internet, a rom like.... it is totally like back to nature in every way just a gameboy version, it's sort of a rip off. Being a Muuh-Dalleion I am happy with this game but being a Michelleion I am NOT!

Not as good as the others..

This game is fun for the most part but it got kinda boring all u do is feed ur animals all day.Its just a spitting image of Harvest Moon:Back to Nature for PSX put on a handheld.All the places are the same,ur farm is the same as in back to nature with the exception of the fish pond.

farm life couldn't be any more fun!!!!!!!

When i first got this game i thought it would be okay. Man was i blown away!!! this game is one of my favorites. there is soooo much to do. want to mine ,you can do it!!! want to fish you can do that!!!! but i'm getting carried away lets start at the beginning. your family goes on avacation to the country, there you meet an old man, who owns a farm, you love it there and stay there longer than you mean to. your parents come looking for you, but before you leave you agree to be the old mans pen pal. later you return to the farm to discover that the old man has left you his farm in a will. that is where the story ends and the game begins.
when the game starts you recieve a puppy. some rewiers say you automaticly recieve a horse THIS IS NOT TRUE!!!! to get the horse talk to barly, the man who runs yodel farm. in your house there are 5 tools the hoe, the sythe, the ax, the hammer, and the watering can. to get the fishing pole go to the house on mineral beach with an empty space in your sack. you will get the pole from zack. but enough of this lets get to what you can do. the main thing you can do is farm. this may sound boring but its not.there are tons of crops to plant and harvest for cash. another fun thing to do is woo the woman of your dreams. there are five women, and a secret one!! other fun things to do are fishing ,mining, attending festivals, and playing frisbee with your dog. there are many other things too!!! ...

I think Harvest moon is the best, I like how you get to live on a Farm. I like that you can get animals and you can marry, I think it is a great game.

DON'T BE FOOLED!!!!

This game is a lie. It is not the happy game it claims to be. I have had a horrible experience while playing this game. Yes, it is very popular, and therefore I bought it for my daughter who enjoyed it for two days. During gameplay, she was forced into making her chicken die, a task unsettling for her, misrepresented by the jovial packaging of the game. This upset her so much that she no longer plays the game.

Another harvest moon game

This is basically a regular harvest moon game. You are a guy that inherits a run down farm. You can grow crops, raise animals,mine,fish,get married and raise a family. This game is full of typos, and it also seems that the typos depend on what game you have. In my cousin's game Zach talks in Japanese, but in my game he talks in English. Both of us married Elli and both of us asked her to call us 'honey.' but in my game she just calls me',' while she calls my cousin honey.
If you're a harvest moon fan then you probably won't mind all the typos.
