Harvest Moon 2 GBC

"One of the best game boy games..... EVER!!!"

Starting Screen: Wow! I'm loving this starting screen! Many games have rubbish starting screens or none at all. This starting screen have everything! It has the famous catchy music, it has amazing graphics and it's pretty funny to watch. Also, if you leave it playing, you get some more scenes come up with really helpful hints to get you started up for the game. When the first scene finishes, you get onto the main menu. It has some awfully cute fonts of text and I love the background. This is why I give the starting screen: 10/10

Music: Alas!!! The wonderful, famous, harvest moon music. When you finished all 3 years, you can listen to all the music in the church. I think it's a very creative idea to have all 4 seasons to have different music's but winters music is a bit drab. When one of your animals dies, you get a day of doom music. It makes you feel awful, because it has all the ingredients for a good tune. I've got to say they've done good with this. Congratulations music, your rating is: 10/10

Graphics Another AMAZING job by natsume!!! The graphics on this game are amazing! The people are made with so much detail identifying everybody individually. The animals just look so cute but, cool enough for boys to play this game as well. The plants develop through different phases, each looking different but similar enough to tell what plant they are. The buildings represent the places they are and the church looks superb!!! Look, what I'm trying to say is: 10/10!

Gameplay: This is probably the most entertaining gameplay I've EVER played on a Game boy colour. The originality to the farming simulation, it would only be copying to have another brand of farm simulations. The people are moveable and can go just about anywhere. The animals are interactive and you can talk to all the other people. The aim of the game, is to sort sort out a farm and make lots of PROFIT! You've got to tidy it up by cutting things down and smashing things. I love cleaning it up and it only takes a few days. Then, you can go fishing to get money or you can look for things in the mountains. Visit the festivals to get special events that are fun to view. Buy and raise animals and choose their own names. Buy a horse and enter horse races. There are no limits to this game! The only let back I think has to be the fact that you can't get relationships with people and you can't get married and have kids like a lot of the other games. My rating is: 9/10

Overall Score: Still love this game and all I'm saying is 9.9/10!!!
