    Play this along with "Shadow Of The Colossus" and you'll remember how bloody lovely life can be.

    Ripe with early frustration, but put in a bit of hard work and Harvest Moon does deliver a bumper crop of fun. [Feb 2006, p.90]

    What does make a difference, though, is the drastic drop in framerate, increase in load times and muddy graphics.

    Little overwhelming in the beginning if you're green to the series, but once you get the hang of it you can't seem to turn it off!

    There are a lot more extras than the Gamecube version of this, unfortunately, the FPS is way below 30FPS during the farming sequences. If itThere are a lot more extras than the Gamecube version of this, unfortunately, the FPS is way below 30FPS during the farming sequences. If it were not for the FPS slowdowns, this one would be the best Harvest Moon yet. If you are into Animal Crossing or any type of RPG/simulation, then this is most certainly a game you will enjoy--perhaps even love zealously.… Expand

People who said the loading takes a long time dunno what there saying! On my ps2 is takes a few seconds plus the graphics are great and I don't get how you can get lost when you have the map. A must have game!… Expand
