The game begins with selecting your character's gender! A cute girl or a boy (cute too!) anyway, the story begins with the main character's departure from his (/her) hometown to a less populous island to live. But at the midway, the boat their riding is caught in a storm and some people got washed away to a remote island (including you). And so, your journey to make the island prosperous begin!

The objective here is clear. You have to ship crops and etc to make this island more appealing so that many people will decide to live there.

The control is mostly by stylus and the right pad. Many people finds it hard but when you get used to it, it's not that bad actually.
I think the hard part of this game is to maintain the stamina and fullness (for me 'hungry-ness' because mine's always hungry xDD) and to build the house at a very slow rate! Like when you upgrade the chicken coop you have to add 1 incubator at a time, 1 feeder tomorrow and it requires more money! But the good thing is the upgrade only takes 1 day.

This HM has a WI-FI connection by using the phone inside your house. Oh, and both girl and boy chara can marry!! (^^)

At first gaining money will seem so difficult but as the game progress the options will open up! Like fishing, raising animals, and etc. And don't forget to collect heart-shaped herbs! Those could be shipped too.

Anyway, this is the first Harvest Moon in DS I actually enjoy! (umm, I don't like the rune factory too) Actually I'm a bit uncertain when buying this game because all previous HM in DS are disappointing (for me, sorry if one of you are a fans of those) but it turns out surprisingly good!
