Harvest Moon gets under your skin that way. You'd never think it would be half as much fun as it inevitably turns out to be...Take our word for it and give this one a try.
-
Of all the Harvest Moon games, Save the Homeland easily has the most solid storyline.
-
Immersive and fun. It's not the type of game you play to beat as fast as you can. It's the kind of game you'll play a little bit every week, for many, many weeks to come.

Electronic Gaming MonthlyEasily the best Harvest Moon yet. [Jan 2002, p.222]
-
Official U.S. Playstation MagazineDelightfully open-ended. [Dec 2001, p.164]
-
Fans of the series may be puzzled by a few missing features.
-
Game InformerIt's fun for a while, but let's face some facts here farming is a job, not a game! [Dec 2001, p.93]
-
A simplified interface and a stronger focus on plot may alienate some fans of previous games in the series, but theres an outside chance it will broaden the appeal to a wider audience.

Aug 29, 2021I like this game even though it's not what I expected, because HM back to nature is more detailed and fun, I enjoyed it though
