 pretty fun January 26, 2008

ps. this game is loooong! so its worth your money.
 Better than I expected January 18, 2008
I bought this game for a friend of mine and he did nothing for 4 days except go to school and play RuneFactory on his DS.
I think this game is realy good, I tried it out my self and I basicly didn't want to give him his game back.
I recomend you buying this game if you like farming games (running a farm) and killing some monsters. This combination worked excelent from my point of view.
Highly Addictive! January 16, 2008
I thoroughly enjoy this game. It involves strategy as well as fighting and figuring out plots. However, I find the fighting to be difficult. If you aren't standing in the correct spot you get whaled. At any rate, I enjoy "learning" new skills in the game, upgrading my weaponry, mining, fishing, cooking, and caring for my monsters, as well as deciding who my character wants to marry and courting her. A unique adventure with something for everyone.
 Save the swordplay for The Legend of Zelda... January 14, 2008

I feel that the fighting in this game takes out the very "soul" of this beloved simulation game series. Harvest Moon is about living the quiet life (befriending the neighbors, marrying, building up your farm, raising your child that actually grows up). The fact that the original series is relaxing and a break from fighting games in general is what makes it so appealing in the first place. It's uniqueness in lack of violence is what makes it a jewel. If you have an itch to fight in dungeons, play the Legend of Zelda games! The way the stamina bars are set up makes it very limiting to how much you can do in a day. I also didn't like the whole catching your monsters (livestock) in the caves. It just makes it more work than it's worth. The only good thing about this game really are the graphics, which are indeed eye candy. For those who find the original Harvest Moon series boring, then maybe this game is your cup-of-tea. But if you're like me and fighting isn't vital to your gaming, and if you're also a huge fan of the original Harvest Moon series, then I advise against getting this game.
A harvest Moon game for the die-hard RPG fan. January 13, 2008

Harvest Moon games are known by RPG gamers that are "in the know" as having a quirky charm that only seems to appeal to the person who can't decide whether to play the latest Zelda offering, the Sims, or whatever long RPG they haven't finished.
This game is no exception to the appeal to "sandbox" game lovers. Much like other games in the series it allows the deeper exploration of the day to day events in a single town with several female suiters for your main character to woo, some more interested in you initially than others. but what is exceptional is the addition of the caves and monsters. This adds both a deeper adventure element, and an element of preparing for that adventure, in making sure your place won't be in shambles when you return.
While initially you only have to leave for a few hours, the later caves are larger, and if you want to get down to the bottom floors where all the good things are, (fish, gems, precious metals) but also the tough monsters.
You also can tame some of the monsters to help with farm work, and produce items (eggs, wool, milk and honey) or to help you fight. The monster helping you fight has a very predictable attack pattern, making coordinating with it simple, unfortunately they cannot help in the boss battles.
This game could keep you occupied as long as you let it if you play it like a sandbox game, but you could probably rush through it in about 50-100 hours if you really felt like it. It also obviously isn't for those who want a game that requires no long term thought. However, those wanting a long term, in depth game will be in gamer's paradise with this one.
