"Good News, You play as a girl"

Story
7/10

Well, you start out living in a big city, and you are sick of all the stress that life is giving you, and you want someone to listen to you and talk to. So you read the newspaper after a long day at work, and find a amazingly persuasive ad for a farm. you travel to the amazing farm, only the find out the ad was wrong, and the farm looked like crap. Then you are greet by the Mayor, and tells you the owner died, and a Realtor has tried to sell the farm. He also mentions many people were tricked by the man, and all left in disappointment. He then laughs at you for being gullible enough to come, and then you beat him using multiple tools. You then take the farm.

Graphics
9/10

The graphics are quite beautiful for a GBA game, There is much detail in the houses, characters, and the tools. The detail is wonderful in the textures also.

Sound
7/10

I don't listen to GBA sounds, but I listened to quite a bit of the sound, and it fits very well. The tools also have their own unique sounds also. there is also the menu click and beeps during the text.

Game Play
10/10

This is one of the most original games on the market, so the game play is also good. You can choose to marry one of the 5 of the town bachelors, but if your to late, they'll marry another girl :D. Yuo can have up to 3 barn animals, chickens, cows, and sheep. You also get a Horse and a Dog, but they serve no monetary value.

Replay Value
10/10

Yuo can play this game forever, and there is plenty to do, with so many vegetables to plant, tools to master, and extra houses to receive, you'll be playing for a long time.

The Final Verdict
Buy or forget it? Buy. Unless you already have friends of Mineral town, you should buy this, especially if your a girl and like the HM series.
