Brilliant in every way, but a bit short and repedative but who cares when its this good!

This game is really goos as it sees you running you're own farm, this game is superior to the likes of The Sims and Zoo Tycoon DS! However it is very difficult to make money and you can only graw crops depending on the season, this at first is quite cool until it gets extremely repedative. You can upgrade you're house and even get a wife, to be honnest I couldn't be bothered being serious about the wife part so I had a go at trying to get a husband, didn't work but it was amusing!

You can raise many animals as you would expect and you can grow many crops, but the animals are a lot more fun to raise, obviously. You can also talk to and meet many people in the local town, but thats only fun... ish for a day or two.

The whole idea of the game is pretty great but while playing you do wish there were even more things you could do, personally I would like a bike, like in Pokemon so it dosn't take half an hour to travel across the world.

Ultimately you're farm and the landscape is just not big enough, it dosn't take long to fill and once its filled you can't really do that much, however upgrading you're house is fun yet very expensive and you can get a seperat villa in the town, problem is this costs 999,999,999 of the currency and the most you earn in a day (half hour) is about 2,800... so yeah could take a while.

All in all this game is superb and is worth a look, maby not a purchase, borrowing it is a lot better as you'll only play it for 2 weeks or so and move on!
