Harvest Moon 2 GBC

"A good Sequel to HM on GB"

This was an ok Sequel to HM1 on GBC. Its not one of the best or worst Game Boy game. If you are a Harvest Moon Fan you should Pick it up if you have some spare cash to spend. This game was very successful and loved by many with its ability to somehow draw you into the game as if you were under a spell. When you play it its as if you’re taken to Rose-Bud Village with your Game Boy as your tools and your mind as your guide. When and if you get this game get ready for a game you wont set down for quite some time.

Graphics: 8/10
The graphics were ok for a Game Boy game but they could have done better on it. They could have added more shadow and a little more detail on the people/House's/Animals/Ect. I find that they did a gang up job on some things. I mean they could have at least had more than 2 colors on some animals. Still, I did like some of the backgrounds and inside the Markets were ok.

Sound: 6/10
The sound was almost mind bending. It actually made me start twitching when I played at hours at a time. So my suggestion for the sound is to turn the volume down as low as you can unless you like hearing something over and over like fifty times and if you have a big harvest turn the volume off because the picking up/dropping/running is enough to make you not like the game.

Story Line: 10/10
The story line was great and there are many endings that you can experiment with just to find the best one. You could see what you did wrong and try to fix it up until you get the best ending witch in my opinion many endings is the key to a successful story line.

Game Play:10/10
The game play was excellent and you have to work very hard and long to beat the game properly or you could just keep going to sleep until the end just to see what happens witch I like to do on some the HM games just out of curiosity. From Fishing to Farming this has some great game play value.

Replay Value: 8/10
If you like to see all the different endings then you will play this game over and over and love it. I played this game and beat it 8 different ways and you might do the same or beat it more ways then that.

Overall: 8/10
Overall this is a good game and I suggest you buy it because you wont have time to beat it if you rent unless you end up with late charges so get it before they stop selling it in stores.
