"SimFarm? NO! Harvest Moon!"

Wow, the game on life! It's a very good game of a farming life, shows you how hard it is to be a farmer. Even if you aren't a REAL farmer, it shows you pretty much a farmer does. I've play Simcity, Simcity 2000 and Simearth and pretty much all the Sim games, I liked them... but it gave me control of the world... like god, but in Harvest Moon... you get to control yourself.

You have diffrent crops to plant in evrey season, animals to take care of... making sure your animals are happy and building fences around your crops. Upgrading your house so you can get married and clearing your farm of weeds and rocks. Time really passes and you can't goto the bar unless it's nighttime... there are typhoons and eartquakes that can destroy your crops and rain to get your animals sick.

You can also have litle helpers that upgrade your tools and sprinklers to water your plant. Elves and the Harvest Goddess to help you on your way.

From five diffrent girls to choose to get married to,it's really hard to pick which one to get married to. Each one has her own intrests and likes, each one has her own chores that they do when they get married to you. Also they way of marriage is very diffrent, you don't give a ring... a feather. You can also have children. Only a max of two... but isn't one enough?

The very best game in the world I think is this one... it is strangley attractive to people and not to others, but with all these features how could anyone not like this game?! Great sound, graphics and great gameplay... too bad it only lasts two and ahalf years... :P too bad... but you can play it again right?! :D
