-You're stuck in Forget-Me-Not Valley
-There is only 10 days in a month and only 4 months in a year(whats up with that?)
-The cow only gives milk for a certain amount of time
-You can't grow sweet potatoes anymore(It's not that much of a loss though)
-Chris and Wally always go to Mineral Town so if you want to give tham something or talk to them, you have to plan very carefully

-Tim hardly ever goes out of the Inner Inn
-Some poeple may not know when an event is and then they might miss it
-You can't have the lizard or turtle
-It would be fun if your horse could have offspring
-You can't pick what gender of horse you want
-The goat only produces milk for a certain period of time
-The pond is really stupid,it justs takes up room in your field
-You have to put fertilizer in your field!
-The music can get quite boring and you only get new music if you link to More FOMT
-There is no harvest goddess
-At one point the harvest sprites say that if you don't fish in the spring then a harvest goddess might come and if someone dosen't know that you can't ever have a harvest goddess than it might lead them to stop fishing in the spring in hope that a harvest goddess that dosen't exist might come
-You can't really tell which is the bathroom and wich is the shower when you get a kitchen
-Murrey sometimes steals from the food storage so im always afraid to put something in there
-The shows on the TV are really boring

Overall this game is really quite fun even though it could be better in some things. I like that it's so close to real life and that you have to be responsible for animals and crops if you want them to live and the townspeople ask you questions that you have a choice in what you say. I would definately suggest getting this game if you haven't already.

Another Wonderful Life's The Best!

I just got this game about a month ago, and I love it! It's better than A Wonderful Life, because there are some new options, like you can change your clothes, train your dog, create hybrid crops, and best of all, you're a girl! Also, I'm alot more succesful in this game more than A Wonderful Life, because of a money cheat, and if you're desperate for money, here it is:
Plug a 2nd controller into the 3rd slot while playing.
Keep pressing the start button on the 2nd controller, for about 5 seconds. Stop, and see how much money you have! It's alot of help! And, you get extentions for your house every year (I think). In the game, my name is Aly, I'm in chapter 3, married to Rock, and have a son named Joey, who seems about 8. A neat thing is, you can read your son's diary. Your neighbors can give you gifts, too. Like Grant (who moves in in the 2nd chapter), will give you an alarm clock. You can also do milk drinking contests. To get ducks, you need to get a pond. To make butter and milk, you need a food processing room. And, about those hybrid crops, you need a Seed Maker, but I have no clue how to make them. If you know, please write a review on how to do it. Thanks for reading!

Great Game!

This is such a fun game for girls! You start out in the farm all alone. The whole 1st chapter you try to get one of the 3 bachelors to like you by giving them presents and talking to them. In the second chapter you get married to the guy who likes you the most. Here are your choices:
Rock: 22 in the beginning. A young dude who has no life virtues. He cares only for his looks and having fun. Rock is the easiest to marry, but trust me, don't!
Gustafa: 28. A smooth, happy musical guy. He's sort of a hippie. I would suggest him over Rock.
Marlin: 33. I married him and I suggest you would too! In the game he compliments my child and teaches him life-lessons. Marry him!

Whoever you marry you'll have a child. Depending on whom you marry is how he'll act and look. When they're babies they are SO cute! Then in the next chapter they're toddlers, then children, then a teenager! Love him buy giving him things he likes and talking to him often.

Back to you: You spend your 24 minute days by taking care of your *adorable* cows and chickens and goats or sheep. Taking care refers to:
1. Feeding them
2. Talking and petting them daily
3. If cows or goats; milking them

Your chickens and roosters are easier to care for. Just take their eggs and feed them! LOL

You also have an adorable dog you get in the beginning. You can if you want feed him but you don't have to.

Another thing you do during the day is taking care of plants! Plant them and water them. Typical. You can plant anything from potatoes to strawberries. You buy the seeds from another farm in town. Once the plants are grown you can give them away to people in the village, cook with them, sell them or just eat them plain. Yum.

Money: You make money but selling crops, fruits, milk, sheep fur, cheese, butter, rocks and gems found in the digsite, flowers found around the town and mushrooms also found around the town. Twice a month (Harvest moon months witch takes about 1 or 2 hours) a fat rich man named Van (what a wonderful name) comes to town and sells and buys with you. You can sell pretty much anything to him and buy furniture and clothes and whatnot from him.

What to spend your $ on: livestock and buildings them mostly. You can buy clothes and medicines from Van too. Money luckily isn't something you NEED witch I think is great. It's just nice to have.

Pros:
You don't NEED money
You live in a cute, peaceful town with a beach, houses, streams and ponds called Forget-Me-Not Valley
Really nice townspeople who each have different personalities
Pretty good graphics. Beautiful scenery.
The game doesn't take too long and doesn't end too quickly (I've been playing for more than 1 year)
I love the animals! Who would've known how fun it is to farm!
Great storyboard that doesn't get old.
You have a family! It's so much fun to be a mom and wife. ^^

Cons:
Here and there there are small typos (witch really doesn't matter at all)
ummm...... I think that's it!

Ending/Overall/Recap: You start on your own on your fathers farm, you get married have a kid, be a great mom, have fun farming, be friends with other people, fish, cook, and ride your hoarse! Yay that is so much fun =) Throughout the game there are happy suprises. This game is for anyone who is interested in life simulations. Because this is way better than sims+ animal crossing any other life simulation!
RATING: 100% * * * * * five stars most definitely =) plus five more * * * * * buy this game! Yep yep yep good game ^^

Great Game! : )

Hey, I am 13 years old and a girl, and I saw this game at a used-books store, and thought it looked really fun, so I thought I would get it here, since I had a gift card here.
Well, let me tell you, I am NOT disappointed! There is never NOT anything to do here! You can milk your cows, water and harvest crops, collect eggs from your chickens, fish, dig for treasure, pick mushrooms and flowers to sell, or just about ANYTHING! ~you can also cook like a million different dishes, which is awesome.
You start with just a normal cow and a dog, but over time your farm grows as you expand in livestock and mula$$! You must plan out how our farm will be, and your decisions affect everything! What you say and do matters, as well as who you choose for your husband and raising your little boy.
I totally reccomend this game for everyone, it is easy to learn how to play, appropriate for all ages, and really cute! Anyone can have fun playing this game, it is great! ^^

The BEST game in the WORLD!!!!

I love this game because it is very FUN! Why? Well i'll tell you.

In this game you come to a farm after your father died, at the farm is his best friend, he helps you the first few days. In the "farm" it's not all a farm it's a town, but you live on a farm. On your farm you can get TONS of animals. You start off getting a dog and cow, then you can get a horse, sheep, chicken, rooster, bull, and when get to new chapers (there are 6 chapters) you can have a better chioce of animals.For example, when you get to chapter 2 you have a goat. O.K lets talk about the people.

There are many people in the town, and they all have VERY different personallities. Even though there are lots boys in town you can only have the choice of wooing 1 of 3 men. IF you choose not to woo, your game will end at the end of the first chapter. And by the way... in this game you have to be a girl.

I would go on more but i don't want to spoil the game!
Thanks for listening to my review!

Harvest Moon is fun for all ages, but has some typos. Example:when your trying to buy a sheep it will say "Mae only".(Mae is male) I like this game because you basicly crate your own life! I'm still reseaching if HAVE to marry Celia, Muffy, or Nami.

Good characteristics:
-> You can be a farmer, rancher, or both.
-> You can have friends that give you things in exchange for you giveing them gifts.
-> Cows give birth (if you have a male cow that's old enough) and milk.
-> If you have Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town, it connects to that.

Bad characteristics:
-> Typos and glitches
-> Sometimes when you give a friend a flower he'll say "you've got something really tasty there, can I have it?"

If your a Harvest Moon fan, this game was made for you!

(If you know if you have to get married or not, write a review and at the end of your review, write what you know)

Money Secret!

Here are the main ideas of this wonderful game! (look at the bottom for the money secret)

You are a girl and only a girl! You can marry 3 different guys. they are Marlin, Gustafa, and Rock( if you want a bigger selection, try HM Magical Melody, you can chose from ten cute guys!) Oh and a tip. If you don't want to marry rock, do not talk to him at all!
You have a son in the second chapter of you life. ( you can only have one child and it's always a boy. The boy looks different an likes different things depending on your husband)

Thanks for reading! Buy this game i know you'll love it! ( unless your a boy that likes bloody and violent games like HALO)

Psssst! Here is a little cheat to get more money! Plug in a second controller in slot three. Press the START button continuesly on the second controller while playin on the first. Stop pressing START on controller 2. Now, press START on controller 1. ( just to look at the menu) See how much more mula you have? you should be thanking me!

Peace Out!
