Summary: It's Harvest Moon, But there is something wrong
Date: 2008-11-11 -
Comment: I recently purchased this game and It's harvest moon alright, only you walk so so slow. I couldn't get over it enough to actually play.
Summary: Very addictive, but an excercise in patience!
Date: 2008-07-07 - 
Comment: This game is quite fun if you are into "Sim City" type games. There are many things in the game for everyone's taste. Be prepared to spend alot of time with the game if you are serious about completing it. Its pace is very slow, and the PS2 version spends quite a bit of time loading. Don't worry too much about the slow pace though because the game will keep you so busy, you will fear running out of time in a day and miss a chore or an activity.
Summary: interasting complex and confusing
Date: 2008-05-21 -
Comment: this has to be one fo the most complex harvestmoons ever. graphics are nice, no load times between city zones cause it is all one big zone, and has a realism effect to it.
the game is a bit confusing and tuff, and until you get a seed maker money is one of the hardest things to make. one of the 2 biggest downers maybe 3 has the least amount of wuuing girls, your slower then treesap, and trying to get villarges to like you is anoying and hard because of your slowness.
i must admit how ever it is much much better then the nintendo version, the ps2 added that you can marry the rich girl and the people notice the weather change while in the GC version reain sleet or snow they say the same thing as if the weather was not there. also in the ps2 version you can have a baby girl if you bug the man in the jar.
the farm life is sorta anoying and hard to getinto if your not use to the harvestmoon system (not for new players) you have differnt type of cows to pick from and you have to buy a bull cow so you can keep on producing milk (cows must have a baby to make milk for 60 days) makeing crops is a pain in the aheam cause 1 bag = 1 seed and nothing regrows after u harvest it so replant. the fact you move slower then dirt also makes it tuff and time consuming. one neto featuer is they elemnated the harvest goddess so you do not have to concern your self with that.
some good featuers is setting up your own shop, and the vans shop that is a rare but important part of life will buy anything even burnt food from ya so even your mistakes are money. no need to worry about buying grass cause you automaticaly get a huge feild full of it, 1 unit of chicken feed will keep em fed for a week, and once you get a seed maker no need to buy seeds. oh and trees make seeds from their fruit and you be rich.
the realism to it adds on the the wonder of the interasting way of the game, like it could rain for 2 seconds or the full day, just look up and watch clouds form, and in the ex version they villigers even notice the weather changes. you can change the theam for your farm by finding records, you can teach your dog tricks, and you can get ducks, a cat, and if you like wasteing time a goat. if you like to be evil you keep takeing the wild fruits and stuff that grows all over the city and the harvest sprites will starve (cause they eat the stuff) maybe the fun part that is anoying is if you do not get married by the end of the first year you will lose so it makes dateing a rush. but it is ok cause once you have a kid they actualy make him or her fun to play with, which is another wonderful featuer cause kids have personality in this game.. unlike the others HM he is just a husk in the way of your farming.

Summary: Mhm, Harvest Moon at it's worst or best?
Date: 2007-11-24 -
Comment: I am a HUGE Harvest Moon fan, and have bought as many of their games as possible, so it was only natural I got this one. I was sooo excited that we finally got to have a little girl as a child, plus a new bride. Ohhhh my poor eyes, they are red with having to stare at the screen so long; Now loading my butt! I was slightly dissapointed with this game. The movements of the main character and other charries were so slow I thought I would die of oldness before they finally reached the place they needed to be. Natsume, I am truly sorry but this game needed much more work on the lighting and on making it faster. I love all the harvest moon games I have ever bought. But this one is a little boring for me. Plus it's very hard trying to move around in the dark because the lighting is so bad, yep, expect total darkness when it turns 5:00 pm on the game. The backgrounds are grey and blek. All in all, I rated this game three stars because it is not the worst nor the best.
The good stuff: You can have a baby girl.
The music is much better
Yay! a new bride.
A few new events.
The bad stuff: Terrible lighting.
Bland looking backgrounds.
S-L-O-W M-O-V-E-M-E-N-T-S
Somewhat boring.
