 Worst EVER! February 2, 2007
7 out of 19 found this review helpful
This is the worst Harvest Moon game ever! I am a huge Harvest Moon fan, and I have played avery single Harvest Moon game ever made, but this is definintly the worst! The game will suddenly stop, and you can't do anything but turn the power off, so your game is not saved, and you have to start out where you last saved! It is so annoying! Plus, another glitch is that if you have anough wood and gold to expand your house, the wood chopper dude still says you don't have enough! Plus caring for your animals with the stylus gets really annoying after a while, and really messes up your screen from all the rubbing. Do not buy this game! I would suggest Harvest Moon Magical Melody.

This game is great. I love working the farm, caring for the animals and raising the levels of my crops. What I don't like are the insane glitches. I have had to start my game over 3 times because both save spots went to black screens. If you can't deal with a game you have to spend many hours on to get anywhere going perm black screen and refusing to load, this is not the game for you.

I purchased this game for my grandson and he tells me that when he plays the game he can not restart the game won't do it. He can't save a game to start a new one. What should I do?
Farming for Fun and Profit January 13, 2007

Harvest Moon, for those that don't know, is a long-running franchise of farming sim games that somehow has proven to be fun and addictive over and over again.
Harvest Moon DS is basically a handheld rendition of the first Gamecube version, a Wonderful Life. You start out with a rundown plot of land in Forget-Me-Not Valley. You have all the time in the world to turn it into a profitable and enjoyable farm by growing crops, raising livestock, fishing, mining, and my favorite part, starting a family. Oh, and along the way you have to rescue helpful little Harvest Sprites. It's strangely addictive, with you basically being able to choose your own destiny. Also, parents may take note that it is a very clean, non-violent game that rewards hard work.
If you played A Wonderful Life, there are a few changes: Flora and Lumina have been added to the list of eligible bachelorettes. There are also four "magical" girls you can woo, including the Harvest Goddess, the Witch Princess, Leia the mermaid, and Keria, the mysterious beauty hidden in the mines. There is also the ability to interact with animals via the touch-screen, though this grows tiresome when done daily. You can also hire Harvest Sprites to work on your farm by earning medals at their casino, which is a nice addition.
The game does have a lot of bugs though, which can be frustrating. One bug makes your town completely empty when you begin your game, but this can be easily fixed by restarting. Also, the friendship/affection system will sometimes drop your friend points with people in town completely to 0. This can be avoided by 1) not throwing ANYTHING, including weeds, on the ground (just put them in your shipping bin), and 2) Saving often in case you need to reset. The game can be a little frustrating without awareness of this, at least for me. I've heard of problems with the game freezing, but have yet to encounter this.
But despite these issues, the game is still fun as any Harvest Moon and is a nice way to tide us over until Harvest Moon's next gen games (Rune Factory and The Island I Develop With You) come to finally stir-up the old farming formula. Enjoy!
