I've been playing Harvest Moon games for years. I love Harvest Moon. There is something about the monotony that just makes Harvest Moon a relaxing play for me. It's like a slow down game for me at bedtime, as I'm about to go to sleep.
The newest Harvest Moon game for the Nintendo Wii is all that I love in Harvest Moon. THere are tons of different crops to choose from each season, even more types of fish to catch and a lot of cute farm animals and pets to choose from. All the marraige candidates are great, adn there is one for just about everyone who plays. It's got some good music, although my favorite Harvest Moon music of all time came from Save the Homeland. I haven't encountered any glitches in this game yet, but I haven't finished playing it either. The background designs are pretty, but I don't much like the design of the characters. Everyone is much to circular, and it distorts their facial features.
The only real complaints I have about this game are that money is tough to come by, the new time system annoys me, and it is very difficult to find metals for tool upgrades. In the game, there are quite a few items that can be foraged, and if you go to all places and forage you can make about 1000g a day. During winter this is about all you can do for money (Besides mining and fishing) In older Harvest Moon games, 10 seconds was 10 game minutes. In this game, 30 seconds is an in game minute. This means that time passes very slowly and I guess for some players, this is great. For me, however, I get most of my daily chores done before 12 and I usually go to bed then. I only stay up later if I decide to fish or mine. Mining tends to annoy me, however. Ores are much rarer to find in this game, adn finding an or rarely results in getting metals for refining. I've almost played 1 in game year, adn have only found 2 golds. I don't think I'll ever find enough to upgrade all of my tools. Gems are also hard to find. If I find 10 of a wonderful, most of the time I get 8 glass after refining, which is pretty useless. It's annoying, but I guess it makes for a challenge.
