I had a really tough time deciding if I shoud get this game. I heard from a friend that it was really good but I was still hesitant. It turns out this is one of the best gamecube games I have seen. You have 30 years(of game time, thank god not real life) to make your farm a success, from milking your cows to harvesting all kins of fruits and vegetable. And you also get married and have child. And also time passes a perfect rate so you wont have to be in a hurry all the time. This is a great family game and i recomend it to anyone.

Twice As Much Going On, But Not Necesarily A Good Thing.

This is a good game, but with every release in the Harvest Moon series, the fun factor of farming goes down a little. At first when I saw screenshots of this game, the graphics didn't impress me and they looked gritty, but when I actually saw them first hand my opinion changed. They are actually beautiful...the trees and water and sounds make you feel like you are actually surrounded by nature. It's even affected by the weather and seasons. The characters and other objects really stand out from the surroundings, because they aren't really that great. The first thing I noticed when I bought this game was that it took up 47(!) blocks of memory...which, if you can't tell, is a LOT. This game gets off to a slow start and I always dread the long introduction, but once you get started it get's a lot better. There were a few unnesesary additions to this game, especially with the different buildings on your farm. There are twice as many now, not to mention it takes a bit of load time before entering and leaving a room. A few things are missing, like holidays and festivals. You have to water plants and milk cows and a lot of other things TWICE a day now which is a hassle and your tools, which there are many more of, don't upgrade like other HM games. A "run" option would have helped out a lot. Your character walks so slow and you can't speed it up until you get the horse. Forget-Me-Not Valley is huge and it takes a while to travel around. The center camera function works wierd. It doesn't shift to the center, it just jumps there. Not only that, but your character doesn't move, so it's actually turning your character in a different direction in the process...it's hard to explain, but it confuses you and you lose your sense of direction. Some of the charaters in the game seem to be parodies of Americans. If you've played you probably know what I mean. There's so much to do and so little time and the to-do list just keeps getting bigger. All of the Harvest Moon releases seem to fall short of Harvest Moon 64, but that's a big shoe to fill.

awesome

This was one of the most creative games I have ever played. It has a great story line and so many things to do. The audio was not very good but who cares. some of the graphics wer faulty so this game is definetly worth buying if you enjoyed animal crossing or those kinds of games.

I bought this so I would have something to do when I got my wisdom teeth out.

I really love Harvest Moon, I wish though that this version had more festivals. Otherwise I love it!
