Harvest Moon - Magical Melody (Wii)

****Harvest moon-magical melody**** I don't usually buy the same game on more than one device as there is usually so many games i want but since i loved the ds version i decided to give the wii version a try.

This has to be my favorite Wii game so far, i played it so much we had to set up a second tv in the lounge so that I could play while my boyfriend was watching the football! While its not high energy its completely addictive, you have a little farm and have to grow crops, build a house and find a girl to marry. while collecting notes with which to free the harvest queen with. you get note for strange things like standing still, not taking to anyone all day and running out of cash! as well as every time you get to a certain number of stars with any of the available people in the village.
