THE GOOD: ~This entry in the Harvest Moon series is one of the last to retain some elements only found in early Harvest Moon games. ~Though is plot is really thin, it DOES give you something to think about other than farming and raising animals. ~The characters is pretty cute, and since this is an early game it doesn't have very many repeat characters.
THE BAD: ~Graphics are pretty laughable compared to more recent Harvest Moon games. ~No child or marriage feature, which seriously decreases the amount of time you'll want to play this game. ~Once you have completed one storyline (or failed), you have to start over befriending the characters. This can tedious after several storylines. ~Getting important events to occur can be difficult as it is not even certain the game always registers that something has been done that could trigger an event. ~It's hard to keep animals alive and healthy due to the difficulty of...
THE GOOD: Graphics and sound is good. Your character looks more mature and has a new look. The characters look pretty good. And you can ride your horse out of town. And if your dog is smart enough, he might just follow you anywhere when you call him. And you actually have to find a way to save the town so, you can't just sit and play right. And you can do some part-time jobs at the Brownie Farm. You can mine in your yard. And making money is really easy. And you don't need speed to catch fish. Just a good fishing rod.
THE BAD: No festivals and marriage makes this a boring game sometimes. And you cant get the help of your sprites. You only have one year to save the home. even if you can repeat a new year, the people won't recognize you. You can only plant 4 kinds of plants. And one bag of seed is equal to one portion of land.
SUMMARY: So, STH is a good game if you're an need-to-accomplish-mission kind of gamer. Well we all have different point...
THE GOOD: Its harvest moon A really cool character, what with the long hair, and he looks older and better than any of the other ones on previous harvest moon games. A new town, and a couple new characters
THE BAD: just like its adversary on the gamecube "harvest moon: a wonderful life" this game has a million bad things! no marriage sucks thats one of the best parts about harvest moon THERE ARE NO FREAKIN FESTIVALS, i mean thats what harvest moon is known for, its awesome festivals. the graphics are very outdated, i mean....there not even trying anymore...it sucks
SUMMARY: I was very disappointed in hearing that this game is as bad, if not worse than "a wonderful life" for the gamecube if a harvest moon game does not have festivals and no marriage, than its not worth it. unless you like spending your entire gaming time growing crops and trying to save the homeland, than you dont want this game....its just another big...
THE GOOD: The gameplay is smooth, and subtle. There's really no need for a quick-draw camera, though it is presented as a problem at times, and the controls are all simple enough, and hassle-free.
The graphics are very simplistic. With a world of water-colors and anime-inspired character designs, everything is pleasing to the eye without being too bland. The effects are cool too. When it rains, you can see the storm heading in from the ocean view of your farm. Although my favorite is the way the wind blow waves into the grassy field on the farm.
The music is quirky, but calm. With piano-keys playing along to plucking strings, piping flutes, and an occasional accordian; the music is great, but also repetitive, fourtuneately it changes just in time before it gets too old. The sounds are pretty simple, but lively, with crows crowing, birds chirping, and the nightlife of owls and crickets.
There are a nice variety of crops to grow, and tools to purchase...
SUMMARY: Well I recently noticed That you actually CAN GET MARRIED. not a wlole lot of people like this game, it was a serous dissimprovment on the N64 Game.
For one it takes you forever to work for a horse (thats right I said WORK).
THE GOOD: 1.Good graphics. 2.Choose between 2 dogs. 3.Nice sound. 4.You can cook. 5.You can ride horse in town.
THE BAD: 1.No marraige or kids. 2.No festivals. 3.You have to work to get a horse. 4.No sheep. 5.No festivals. 6.Lack of crops.
SUMMARY: Ok, its kinda late to write a review about this game but what the heck.Overall this game is pretty easy, but lacks the old Harvest Moon expieriences and qualities.The endings are easy and fun.You can ride your horse in town.Oh, you can get a different kind of horse and dog.You can cook.Still, I liked Harvest Moon 64, Harvest Moon Back to Nature, Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral Town, and Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life.All of that I have.I also have Harvest Moon 3 but THAT wasn't that good.I recommend any of the others.This game has multiple endings, but you practically start over each time you do one.9 endings.Beat 7 of them.I didn't like the lack of crops, festivals, wifes,...
THE GOOD: graphics You can ride your horse into town you can cook
THE BAD: NO SHEEP!! you can't get married only 4 crops no fetivlis no mayor no guy comes to your farm to take your stuff you have to sell it yourself
SUMMARY: This game isn't the best one I have ever played! There are NO sheep!!!!! What where are the cut cuddly sheep!!What festivles are there in this game? NONE! You can't go to any festevils. So who are you going to marry in this game......what!......you can't marry any one NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I miss the girls already! Hey here is somthing good you can do is ride your horse into town YAY you have more time to do stuff No you don't the days go by shorter!! What no more bar!!! AHHH so many things!
Well thats all I have to say Oh yeah I forgot the graphics are good too. They have now put Harvest Moon in 3D! YAY well thts the end of my review sooo bye!
THE BAD: Almost good enough to satisfy a rat. (Maybe)
SUMMARY: I really didn't like this game to much. It was kinda fun untill I foumd out YOU CAN'T GET MARRIED!!!!!!! Other than the fact that you can't have sheep, puppies get married, the game restarts after every year, and the town's a bit small it's and ok game. If I had to rate this game from 1 to 5 i would probably give it a 2. If someone wanted a harvest moon game I would suggest Back to Nature more than this one. The only good thing about this game is maybe that you could ride your horse into town. Oh yeah I forgot something that also make's this game suck. There are no festivals and the onlty time you can do something fun is... well... I JUST DON'T GIVE A CRAP! But other than what I said, its an O.K game. (I think) But hey! I can't change the way other people think just by my hand writing. If you really want to try this game I think you should go for it. Have fun....
THE GOOD: Multiple endings, graphics, sounds, gameplay.
THE BAD: No marriage, no sheep, no festivals, limited house up-grades.
SUMMARY: This version of Harvest Moon needs some work. The graphics and gameplay are about the only fields on the uprising side of the game. The festivals would be perfect to slip in if they couldn't add marriage. But... The thing that really worries me is the fact that there are no sheep. They would look so cute with the good graphics in this game. There is suppose to be a new Harvest Moon game coming out for Playstation2 in Fall 2003, called Harvest Moon: It's a Beautiful Life. But, it's just a rumor right now, so I'm not exactly sure...
