Yes this game is really a must have. All the glitches are fixed and the characters are much more developed, especially the guys. Plus there are so many more options that make this game so appealing. I think that you must have had played the original to appreciate this one.But this game is excelent to girls 10 and up cool game. Also the boys are cool too. You or your kid can choose between 3 people that other girls are fight you for.

Rock- he's a party dude he dosen't like work but if you get to know him he's cool and fun to be around. His rival is a 12 year old girl named Lumina. (pesonaly he's my favorite okay)He is also the easiest.

Gustafa- He's your average hippie but he likes flowers and stuff.He's medium. His rival is a red headed girl named nami. (he's okay but his child looks weird.)

Marlin- He's very closed and cold to anyone execpt Celia. So it's hard to get his atention. (he's not my favorite but i like his kid.)

(...)

I think this game rox buy it and see.

This is a great seris and is like a realistic fiction but it gives you a break from a hard day it actually relives my stress so much i like it. If you arn't a blod and gore type of girl then check this game out.

I love it! It is the best game ever! I have all of the Harvest Moon games! I am always glued to the TV when I am playing! One reason I love it is because I love animals! Cows, cows, & more cows, I can't get enough of cows. I love playing as a girl, because I am one! All in all, Harvest Moon IS THE BEST GAME EVER!!!!!

Stick with the original

Please save your money by buying the original Harvest Moon at half price. It is very nearly the same game--same townspeople, same conversations, same animals, same farm. If you remember the original, the girl has to choose from a few of the eligible batchelors (Gustafa, Marlin, or Rocky)--they didn't even add potential mates for her!

I don't know why Another Wonderful Life came out so long after the original because they basically kept the format, changed the boy to a girl, made a few subtle changes, and marked it for sale.

If you're a huge fan and want to check out the new version--rent it. Keep the old one and start over if you feel like playing the game again. Hopefully, I save you the $30 I wasted.

1 company making money over and over from 1 game

The company who made the original game took Harvest Moon a wonderful life and added this "ANOTHER" title for the option of playing this version as a girl. But other than that and the glitches in the original that actually helped you make money a little easier they have done nothing but repackaged the same game to make money on it twice.
You still have to go square by square to plant, hoe and water your crops. From the 1st game this should have been upgraded with each new Hoe, Sickle, Water pail you purchase it should have made it easier for you to work your crops instead of the 1 by 1 style, which takes up most of your time since you have to water about twice a day (unless it rains). With each upgrade to those items they should have made them go up like 1, 2, or 3 for example so you had a few options. I was wishing it would just rain everyday after a while.
I do like the fact that I get to play as a girl but the game itself is exactly the same as the 1st version of this game. I found this highly disappointing even though I'd wanted the option to play as a girl the 1st time around. They should have started with you picking your character, but instead they began with a male character, sold a number of copies of that and now offer up a female character(because that is all you are paying for if you buy this game is a female character the game is exactly the same).

As far as I can tell your spouse does nothing on the farm to help you out after marriage so you are still doing everything yourself.

I was looking forward to the version they were preparing for the PS2 but after this one I think I'll just keep my money where it is.

For those that haven't played the Harvest Moon A wonderful life game I do highly recommend the game but pick before hand whether you want the male or female game. I had high hopes that they'd added more than a girl to this game, but was highly disappointed.

AWESOME!

This game is awesome. But this game is not for everyone. I would suggest you rent it first, then buy it.
All the info from the other reviews are good. I was just about to say them until I saw the other ones. But there was this review. Here's a correction.
Lumina is NOT Rock's rival. Nami is NOT the hippe's rival. They are girls who want to marry them. You got that way wrong.
Rock is easy to marry, and fun to. The baby is a serious cutie! But you should've seen Lumina. When we announced the marriage to her, she started to cry, looked up, then ran away. It's not sad. They make it look funny! Rock is the best to marry.
That's what the other reviews missed.

Awesome!

Girl Farming Power

This game is very fun but lacks in activities you can do. For instance, it doesn't have any vast caves to explore for ores nor does it have any village interaction for festivities. You only get to choose from 3 bachelors. And most of all you have to continuously fertilize and water more than once a day to have a crop grow. Besides these aspects the rest can be fun like taking care of your animals. Riding your horse. Wearing different outfits. Playing records. Most fun is the cooking. I also especially like the mirror mirror on the wall. Hope this helps someone out on buying this. If you like Harvest Moon games then you will want this as a must have to your collection. If you like fishing then you most definitely need to get River King from these creators. I really love it.

good game bad sequel

let me start by saying something about the game itself.
harvest moon for you who dont know the game is basically a farm life simulator for younger gamers.So like all those types of games you basically start with your basic package and trough hard work and patience you build up your farm and the relationship with your neighbors.
now that being said here is my review of harvest moon we'll get to the sequel in a little while.
1.graphics are good but lack imagination
2.sound and music are good but not great
3.story is fun but lacks depth and is very repetitive
4.game play is easy but puzzles might prove to be too much for younger players
5.ovrall an average game and fun for a while,the problem i have with it is the flow of the game wich is in my opinion way too slow and will make you loose interest in the game after the monotony sets in.What im saying is that not only nothing really happens but when you actually trigger a series of events it still doesn't change anything wich is very frustrating.Another issue i have is the lack of information no matter what you do wich is a big turn off and makes me wonder if the programmer actually played this game wich i doubt.
6.All that said im sad to tell you that the sequel is EXACTLY the same as the first exept that instead of being a farmer boy you are a farmer girl so i dont know if i recommend you spend good money on the first one but if you did please dont do it again on the sequel.You would have thought they would have tried to fix some of the major flaws that i mentionned but no so i found this game to be very offensive to me as a consumer and i writing this to try to save you from the same mistake i did.
so thats it for now
thanks for reading hope i could help
