I really like this Harvest Moon. it's different from the one for nintendo 64, but i think its just as good. the good part about this version is you get to choose to be a boy or a girl. also you have to collect notes to free the harvest godess, and you get notes for like.... some festivals or if you put out a camp fire; stuff like that. i also like how u can give a person that you like presents and they start to like you. there is a button you press to pull up and sceen that shows all of the people in town that you know. beside them are hearts and the more hearts they have beside them, the more they like you. I don't want to give the whole game away, but it's really fun!:)
Fun! Fun! Fun!

As an adult I find this game extremely entertaining when I want to just have mindless enjoyment! I find myself looking up hints on the internet to get ideas on how to make friends with the other villagers. I am playing as the girl and started another game where I am the boy so I have the outlook of both characters, great fun. I am quite busy looking after the livestock and watering or picking my crops, the days are varied and you can do as little or as much as you want in a day. You do have to be careful not to exhaust your character though. Recommend for everyone!

Harkening back to the whimsical style of my personal favorite HM game, HM 64, the cartoon-ish characters may take some getting used to, but it's worth it. There are so many characters to interact with in this game that I have found it hard to befriend even half of them! The option to play a male or female in one game is also very nice. My siblings can choose their gender without having to buy a seperate game. There are loads of options to earn money and expand your home, fields, and livestock housing. There are also many of events to keep the dull day-to-day monotony at a low.
The bad points are; there are so many npc's this is hard to make friends and continue their story lines (if you enjoy doing that). Also, your land is very small and you will only have room for a barn if you move your house to another plot (which you can buy). Comleteing some of the muscial note gaining tasks can be difficult and tedious. Chickens become pretty pointless after you get cows and sheep and just take up space on your limited land.
All in all this is the second best Harvest Moon I have ever played (and I have played them all).

I rented this game one weekend when I was sick and stuck inside. A few days later when it was time to return the game, I had to buy it.
In this edition you get to choose whether you want to be a girl or boy in the game. You have several character to choose from for marriage. Some are outgoing and easy to befriend, and other are shy and difficult. You really have to work hard to impress some!
There is still farming and mining, and the harvest sprites. But in this one you also have to collect musical notes. Most of them you find just by doing everyday chores. You can get notes for being outside, or being in the rain,... just about anything really! Once you collect so many notes, it becomes a musical instrument that (I hope) will eventually awaken the Harvest Goddess. I haven't actually beaten it yet.
There is a new aspect of choosing which plot of land to buy. There's a certain amount of strategy to it because one lot is very large but not very fertile, another is very fertile but not so big, and another is somewhat fertile with medium size. You can actually buy all three once you have enough money, but you still have to decide which one you want to put your house on.
The playability is good. The controls are easy to master, as usual. The characters are still cute and the music charming.
This is a fantastic addition to the Harvest Moon series. If you are a HM fan, I strongly suggest purchasing it.
Love This Game!

This Game is so much fun! I love it! While there are a few things that I would change about this if I could, they are minor and don't deminish the game at all. In my opinion this is the Best Harvest Moon I've played yet.
My 8-year-old son LOVES this game!

My son loves this game and has been playing it a lot. He learns about taking care of animals on his farm. It quickly has become one of his favorites.
Fun for the whole family

This is a great game in the Harvest Moon series. The graphics are cute and bright the music is fun and is a pleasure to hear every day instead of a pain. The gameplay is like the rest of the games and involves crop growing and raising animals on a farm. There are plenty of festivals to enjoy throughout the year, lots of interesting characters, a variety of mini-games and a wide range of choice for marriage. The best thing about it is the ability to play as either a boy or a girl! It's a brilliant game that will keep you playing for months.
Nice Twist
