    I think that there sould be more equpment to choose from, and i think it would be awsome if there was an erigator.

    The 1.01 version addresses most of the serious bugs. This is a good game.

    This could be a great sim. However the overwhelming number of bugs is beyond annoying. This version (v 1.0) appears to be a commercial release of a beta. Shame on "Bold Games" for a decidedly un-bold move of releasing such a shoddy product. In the process, they make a great name (John Deere) look bad. Don't buy the game until at least version 3.0.

    Lot of fixes that need to be taken care, extra equiptment in the feild and make the errors quit.

    I give this game a 10! I have been farming for 18 years and this game is pretty realistic. Though the bugs are many, and the animals few, this game really shows some of the stuff a real farmer has to go through.

    my 10 yr old daughter and I became instantly addicted.We spend lots of time on this game having fun and bonding. Its fun challanging and never the same game twice. We cant wait to try the newer version John Deer North American Farmer with the horses.

    Many crash bugs even after the current patch is applied. I doubt this game was beta tested at all considering it's shipped state. Great idea, the graphics aren't too bad. Despite crashing to desktop from the bugs, it was fun to play. The game needs more crop types and another patch to address the crash bugs and things like farmer satisfaction not raising even with use of leisure items.

    Still bugs in the program that need to be fixxed.Some scenarios are really boring.I do like playing it.My kids like it too. The editor needs a help file. I found it to be pretty useless.

    Games crashes much too often even with the patches. Would be a great game if the designers would have thoroughly tested it first or would issue a patch that corrects the crash issue.

    Definately need to include more crops like potatoes, broccoli, cotton, etc, and equipment to harvest these different crops, like a potato harvester. I know John Deere has them. They also need to correct the errors, like freezing and shutting down during a game. I had no idea how to keep Christina happy on Christina's revenge, and waiting to raise chickens and $150,000 drove me Definately need to include more crops like potatoes, broccoli, cotton, etc, and equipment to harvest these different crops, like a potato harvester.

All around, it's great and very addictive!… Expand

    The game idea is great, but an instruction book would be nice. For a game to play by the year, it stinks to learn by doing.. So some hints would be good. PLZ fix the bugs.. make the clock able to pause too.

    A fun sim, but the errors and bugs need to be worked out. Especially the rain. It seems like it rains 90% of the time.

    I overall enjoy it a lot of bugs though I like the option of the used equipment, wished there was a used dealer you could buy back your equipment from. thanks for the fun.

    Ok let's be honest, I like the game a lot. It's not as exciting as other games for sure but one of the things I will suggest for future players of the game is this - set your own goals out side of the game goals. I play free play a lot and have set goals like reaching a million dollars, or purchasing all the parcels of land free of debt...with that in mind it becomes a lot Ok let's be honest, I like the game a lot.

    I know of nowere in the US, except Death Valley, where it never rains, or only slightly in a years time. No horses, no chickens and give hunters a break..a pig or cow does not resemble a turkey.

    This game has ALOT of potential. If other factors were included like: who would you sell your crops to? be able to choose from different companies and have contracts and have to keep up with them, more crops, maybe some tree fruits and the addition of the ability to hire "crews", like in peaches. That would add a whole other dimension to the game. This is the skeleton of what could be a This game has ALOT of potential.

    A nice take on farming at a budget price, and the John Deere farming equipment is the icing on the cake.
