This game is very addictive, a quality that isnt new in the harvest moon series. If you are a fan of the series, this is definetly a necessary addition to your collection. The graphics and the concept of age has bade this game very interesting but theres a few faults i find in it.

Unlike other harvest moons, one seed covers one square instead of 9. Not a major complaint of mine but this makes growing crops not a major part of your income.

There are no festivals. Or well, nothing special. You may walk to gustafas hut or the bar and run into a little cut event. but your not excited that you showed up there. It just seems like an annoying extra minute of your time. Festivals kept the game from getting boring.

Theres several glitches in the game. such as taking the cat out of romanas mansion. and every once in a while in ch.2, if you leave with your son, he might get stuck and you'll have to wait till 9pm for your wife to go out and rid the glitch if it happens.

you have to breed cows to get it to produce milk. and then only for 40 days, then you must breed again. XP annoying after the first year and you dont understand why your cow wont give you milk.

BUT theres alot of good things about this game.

-YOU GET OLD! for once im excited about becoming old, grey with a hunchback and dying... It lets you end the worry of why noone ages in the other series after playing for 5 years...

-days are longer and months are shorter. some may not like that, but you'll be thankful for it after playing.

-you get a child..and your child ages.. need i say more?

-theres more of a 'realism' to the game that other games dont have. such as the breeding of animals, etc.

- graphics are awesome.

-love growing trees LOVE the trees

-massive seed hybridization thing...havent figured it all out myself though

Anyhow, in all though, the game is definetly worth it. theres alot new to discover and if your a fan of the harvest moon games, get this. you'll love seeing your character with grey hair.. or your kid become as old as you were when you started the game.

First off, I love FPS (first person shooters) like the next gamer. I've played my share of Halo and Rainbow 6 and all the rest and love them for what they are worth. But there is something to be said about a game that mimcics the act of merely living and growing old rather than destroying everything that moves. In Harvest Moon you spend your time farming and wooing girls instead of hoisting your rocket launcher, and much to my surprise, it's enormous FUN!!! Not giving anything away, but after year one you have a wife and a son and you can start to do things to influence him to choose 1 of several career paths. There is planting to do and breeding of animals, even taking care of baby calves and chickens. It's a truly refreshing game that will have you enthralled for many hours and there is also tremendous replay potential as you try for 1 of 3 potential brides in the game. More games should be made like this but alas the higher concepts are notoriously unpopular and truth be told difficult to make this much fun. Highly recommended for anyone in the family (despite references to sex and some mild comments, it's far weaker than anything most kids see on TV daily).

This game is the best :). It's easy and fun. If u win it, or finish it, u can do it over again the same way, or differently. Unlike other games, if u win them, it's the same thing over and over. But this one u can re-play it a billion times if u want. If u don't want a fast moving, complicated game, this is the game 4 u. :)
