User Rating: 9.5 | Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life GC
I love this game to death. I also loved animal crossing, the sims, and all those other life simiulators!Why? Well because you get to decide what you do in your life. I love those games where you get to chose your own path...except for shadow the hedgehog.

Anyway heres the basics:

gameplay:9 out of 10. The reason this got a 9 out of 10 is because some of the activities such as fishing and digging in the mine feel like a chore to make a quick buck but these activities are extremely optional and are not required in any way to beat the game but they will help you finanshially

graphics:10 out of 10. These graphics are as good as halo! I mean it everything has a shadow and everythings perfect but I suppose it's not fair to compare anime graphics with halo...yes the characters are japanese anime so you either love it or you hate it.

controls:10 out of 10. These arent revolutionary or anything but they are what you would expect it to be so 10 out of 10

game description:
OK. So you start out the game as a young boy left with a farm by his questionably diseased father and you start out with a cow,a empty chicken coop, 3 farming fields ranging in different soil quality, and 2,500 g(money).
The game runs on a day to day endless clock where 1 second =1 minute so each full day is 24 minutes and each normal day is 11-15 live hours(your character can get tired). Each season is 10 days long so 240 minutes + loading screens.
Your main objective in this game is to progress your life and make your farm better. You can fish,grow crops,milk cows,buy chickens for eggs, and a few more to make money. The first objective in the game is to get married and there are 3 girls to marry. If you dont get married within the first year the girl who likes you the most will marry you and if no girls like you at all its basically game over. Its so easy to get girls to like you though thats not a problem
You can get friends by giving them things they like like flowers,fish,fossils, and food. The more friends you make the more unique items you will get and eventually way later in the game get a job for your son.

overall:9.5 out of 10


If you can get past the gory spell Microsoft has putt on you or if you lofe life simualtor games I really recomend this game!
