Don't listen to those negative reviews! This game rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at first you start out with a big barn with one cow therefore it is your job to make it the most succesful farm ever!!!! you get the marry the beutiful womens you can oly marry one, (excuse me if you wind up thinking thses women are hiddeouse!) raise you're child make friends with people and find valuble artifacts in the ruins. So rent it first, because not everbody has the same game taste as we harvest moons fans do!
 Harvest Moon Lover February 8, 2008
I bought this so I would have something to do when I got my wisdom teeth out.
I really love Harvest Moon, I wish though that this version had more festivals. Otherwise I love it!

I bought this game for my wife, and this is what she thinks:
The animation isn't like it is on Magical Melody,(prefer cartoon look).
Your maps aren't easy to read and you can end up lost if you don't have your players manual.
She prefers magical melody because you get to choose where you live and name everything.

I had played the original Harvest Moon on the SNES and when I saw Havest Moon A Wonderful Life for the GCN I jumped at the chance to play it again.
For those of you out there who think that HMWL is anything like the original let me quickly dispel that notion right away.
Additions and Subtractions: The game has a few things added, and a few things removed when compared to the Original Harvest Moon (SNES)
While some additions are good, I will be focusing on the ones that made the game suck.
Additions:
Cows suck - Cows don't just give you milk like they did in the SNES version. You have to get them pregnant...which takes a YEAR (40 days)
Then they will produce Milk for one year and dry up..so you have to get them pregnant AGAIN.
You also have wash your cow in addition to talking and loving it. So you take them outside, get them next to the water stall and wash them with your brush. This wouldn't be so bad if you didn't have to 'push' them from behind to get them to the stall; which is painfully slow and tedious because of the god-awful controls you are given to guide the stupid beast to said destination.
Set up Shop: You go into town and set up a shop and you sit there and WAIT for people to come to you and buy your produce. This can take from 10 to 15 minutes of just sitting there WAITING. And you will only get about 2 or 3 customers who never buy in bulk.
Subtractions: Things removed in the GCN version that were present in the SNES
No Crop drop bin: You have a bin for only Animal products. Milk, eggs, etc.
But not for crops.
No Golden scye: Cutting grass will forever be done as God intended...one square at a time.
All this coupled with many poor menu designs makes this a mediocre game as best.
I can't see how this game would be for children. With it's 480 hours of gameplay (that's just how long it takes for the game to end) any normal child will quickly get bored and move onto something else.
Only if you are a hard core Harvest Moon fan, and a little bit masochistic
