    Harvest Moon is a great game and it gets a 10/10!Harvest Moon is one of the best game ever made for the Game Boy and we will all remember this game.That is why I recommend you kids to buy this game because this game is for you.The game is Legendary and I love this game.    … Expand

    This game is soooo cool! The animals are cute and fat ( i love fat animals ) and the graphics are awsome. When i play fighting games, i always mess up and die or somthing. But in this its a happy cute little farming game where you have kids and a family on a farm. By the way, if you think everything i'm saying is stupid its because im 10 :)

It's basically "Harvest Moon: Back to Nature" from the old PlayStation, though, they change a lil' bit the storyline and add new things (incluiding new events, and the Harvest Goddess as a secret bachelorete that you can marry :).

    This is a very great game. It is just Like Harvest Moon Back to Nature and Harvest Moon 64, but you can carry it anywhere and more features. I'm getting this game today.

    The game is so diverse that it'd take months, maybe years, to see everything.

    If an upgraded hammer, that simply allows you to break bigger rocks, is reward enough to get you through another bleak winter's day, then buy this. You truly have what it takes to be a hoary-handed son of the soil.

    As you can probably imagine, gameplay can be tedious, but the title does a good job of changing things up and adding new elements to the mix. [Dec 2003, p.187]
