Advantages: Great fun and innovative. Long gameplay
Disadvantages: slightly repetitive
If you ever played Harvest Moon, you'll know what its like.
This game is no different: you live a fantasy life as a farm boy and you have to grow yourself to wealth, a bigger house and a girlfriend. The graphics and animations in this is more mature, and im guessing its for an older audience but the game play is very much the same.
Whilst growing crops and tending animals are somewhat repetitive, the range of activities available make you spoiled for choice. You can also fish, mine, build, collect, cook, befriend and so much more.
The game is long to finish (if this is even possible) yet simple, so there is alot of game play time. However, there is also alot of walking, collecting and exploring, and perhaps these elements are abit repetitive. For me the best bit about the game is collecting the ingredients and cooking them and combining all the different ingredients to see what you can make!
This game is true to the harvest moon formula and is great fun. One of the best RPGs in the series, and the new revamped look is excellent. Characters look more realistic, with a hint of anime, which will surely appeal to fans.
You can purchase this game for under £20 which is a great bargain for so much gameplay and choice!
Summary: true to formula great fun game
