Well, I haven't actually bought the game, but from some of the screenshot I can tell the graphics are better than all the Harvest Moon games so far. This game has a lifespan of 30 years and the characters age as well as you. You can also get married which was sadly left out of the Harvest Moon Save the Homeland. Also you can choose to have a baby, which can later help you on your farm.And last but not least the hookup to GBA game Mineral Town lets characters travel between towns and explore each town. Overall this game seems to be better than the rest. And I am greatly looking forward to it.

Awesome

i am a huge fan of the harvest moon series and this installment is going to be the best yet. the graphics are incredible and with the ability to actually raise a child i have a feeling this will be a huge seller. Harvest Moon Rocks!

Looks Great

The first time I ever played a Harvest Moon game I loved it. In Harvest Moon:A Wonderful Life, you have a whole lifetime on the farm, actually only thirty years, but close enough. There's loads of new stuff, you can grow new vegetables, get new animals including ducks and goats, you can date, get married and even have kids. Another neat feature is that you can connect your Gameboy Advance with Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town in it to your Gamecube to get new minigames. All of this is mostly what I've read from Nintendo Power, so all of it may not be correct, but even so this looks like a great game. 5 stars!

a game a worthwhile

I will preface this review with the following statement: I have not played this game. To be more specific, I have not played this incarnation of the game--I have played Harvest Moon games before. Basing this review on previous experience, I will say that these games neatly fit into that "no brainer" category. Play it and you are guaranteed to have fun.

If you are new to the series, the basic plot is always the same: you play a young man (in some cases, you have the option to play a young woman) who must renovate a farm in order to preserve the surrounding town. Sometimes, a nasty amusement park developer has an eye on the land, for example. The game has a time frame--let's say 3 years--in which you must complete your task. You must create a working, profitable farm while maintaning personal relations within your little farm community. You should find yourself a wife (or husband) and produce a child.

While this sounds very mundane and ordinary, it is, in fact, not. The beauty of the Harvest Moon series resides in a gaming experience that is calming over nail-biting. Instead of looking forward to boss battles and random RPG monster encounters, you look foward to the potato harvest in a few game days and the big dog races at the end of the game month.

If you enjoy simulations or unconventional RPGs, this game might be for you. It would also be a good game for children, provided that they can read the text of the game (very important--conversations, etc.). It is not violent, and it might even be a bit of an educational experience--all games provide some sort of educational experience, but this particular game requires that its player create some sort of long-term strategy for play. It also requires the player to manage fake money, which is always fun. For some reason, I always enjoy a game in which I get to buy things...

So, that's it. That's my Harvest Moon review. Hopefully, someone out there has read it and enjoyed it as much as I have enjoyed writing it. ;o)

The first Harvest Moon game I had ever played was HM64, and I keep getting the newer versions. Okay, I'll admit that HM64 had its flaws, and HM:STH was just plain pathetic (it lacked a bunch of features older games had), but this one looks really promising!

A Wonderful Life will contain elements of all the past Harvest Moons all wrapped into one. Staying true to the series' tradition, it will of course feature completely non-linear gameplay, letting gamers create a unique life of their own. It's just you, a farm, and the rest of your life. You'll have to successfully manage your farm,

FEATURES

-Harvest Moon at its best, live life how you want to and enjoy a completely non-linear gameplay experience

-Get married and raise a family

-Farm your crops and create all-new hybrid vegetables

-Brand new farmyard animals to raise

-A Wonderful Life draws on the best qualities of the series and promises to add more

Some other information I found on the Victor Interactive Site is below!

-The game will be in a completely new town with a story as long as 30 years.
-There will be 6 tales and 40+ characters.
-You can have a child.
-If you connect the GameCube game to the GB Advance game new events occur, character dialogue changes and other things!

I have a really good feeling about this game.

Harvest Moon Rocks!

This game will be awesome! You can go to festivals link with the game boy advance harvest moon to trade characters and access special events. You can actually raise your child, if you have ever played Harvest Moon before you know what a huge improvement this is. There are new animals, a new way to grow crops, and the ability to create hybrid crops! You may be able to have multiple children, but Natsume hasn't said anything for sure yet about the multiple children thing. You and the other characters age in this one. Things happen according to how you play the game. Buildings and people change and go away. This game sounds great!
