 Whose turn is it? January 6, 2009

My 11 year old son got this for Christmas and of all the video games he received for Christmas, this was his favorite. He is really enjoying it. He let his 8 year old sister create a character of her own and now they both are waiting for their turn on the Wii. My son has the other Harvest Moons and said Mom this is the BEST Harvest Moon so far! So to me, that made it well worth the $$!
AWESOME BEYOND BELIEF!!! January 5, 2009
THIS IS AWESOME!I have Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life for Game Cube and it is SOOOOOOOOOOO much better compared to it! First of all you can be a boy or a girl and the town is a LOT bigger and theres way more bachelor/ettes. IT IS AWESOME! And there's all the festivals and JUST BUY IT! IT ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5 out of 5! January 1, 2009

Pros:
1. Stay loyal to the past Harvest Moon. But mostly resemble closely to Harvest Moon 64 (if you played that you find a lot of similarities).
2. Great Graphics!
3. You actually have a mission to revive the Goddess and not just marry, farm, and make babies. And as you progress through the quest to save the Goddess more areas unlock for you to explore.
4. Your spouse and offspring actually does stuff now. Yup no more freeloading around the house! I want my bento!
5. You can adopt different animals. No longer are you limited to just that dog. Why settle for a dog when you can have a panda or a squirrel or a weasel of even a penguin!
6. Who needs a horse when there's an Ostrich! Yes you can ride one and it lays eggs!
7. New farm animals. You're no longer just stuck with chickens and cows and sheeps and a horse. You can buy horses, goats, ducks, silkworms and more!
8. Tools can level up! Thank goodness cause it takes forever to do your farm chores if your tools don't level up.
9. You can be either a boy or a girl and there are many spouse option to choose from each with distinct and unique personalities.
10. You can cook in here. Buy your cooking utensils and then utilize them to make recipes!
11. Homes can be upgrade and your house can be remodel (including inside stuff). Don't like your bed? Upgrade to a more luxurious one! Why settle for a cheap cabinet when you can get a lovely expensive one!
12. The little elves are so funny and cute~ When you meet them choose the funny options =).
13. Add accessory and outfits to wear. No longer are you stuck with the same old boring clothes (I must question the past harvest moon... if I were to peak into my character closet I probably will see 20 of the same exact outfit...). But no longer will you be plain and boring. You can be fashionable and woo the whole town~ (Your clothes also automatically changes from seasons too making it more realistic.)
14. A convenient stamina meter shows you exactly how much energy you have so now you're never constantly wondering are you at the brink of passing out due to overworking. Eating foods will recover your stamina as well and you can tell exactly how much is recovered!
Cons:
1. Loading time. O-M-G... seriously... loading time is like every single time you move to a place. Enter a home, exit a home. It just takes so long and so annoying!!!!
2. Glitch in game. If you're playing a girl you can't marry one of your potential mate: Calvin. Don't even try or else your game will just lock up.
3. You don't start with a TV! Or even a calender at that! Most things have to be bought. (This is just my little vent about now having a TV!) But it makes the game more enjoyable in a sense that you're working hard to buy stuff!
My overall view:
This game is fun and enjoyable. It stays loyal and true to all the past harvest moon but also incorporates new ideas so you get a little something old and a little something new. The only thing I found displeasing is the loading time. It like move scene, load, move scene, load. It gets annoying. I would've also like some voice acting. But then again maybe I'm asking too much... Music IMO is good overall (though they really should give you the option of switching music because listening to the same thing over and over again can be quite annoying). Music only switch with season. Even if you haven't played past harvest moon before you'll definitely enjoy this game. Highly recommended!
