This is definately one of the most satisfying RPG's i've played in a while, I honestly say its the best out of the Harvest Moon series. The gameplay is well laid out. Throughout the course of the day, there is much to do. Tending to livestock (happier, healthier livestock means better produce.) or growing a wide array of vegetables and fruit. Thankfully, no meat market is involved. Wooing the many different town girls can be difficult, but each one has a special characteristic. I myself find Karen to be a most lady-like figure. Watch the TV once in a while, especially for weather reports. They can be helpful in preparing your animals back into their barns and hiring the Harvest Sprites to do the work for you, in the event of a Hurricane.

The time thoughout the day is not too fast, and not too slow, its just right. There are many food recipes, town competitions, festivals, friends to see and stuff to do.

Music wise, its very pleasing and melodramatic. Sometimes it can be repetative, but the good thing is, its good music.

Graphics wise, all the farm animals are cute, the produce looks very convincing (as they grow and develop) and the overall environment is very exciting (especially at night).

This game definately gives you a good value for its excellent gameplay and replay value.
