    Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is a farming game that lets us live a virtual life full of emotions and decisions. We can marry whoever we want, have a son or daughter and see how our farm evolves. We can also enjoy other activities such as fishing, mining and crafting. It is a very complete and fun game for lovers of the genre.

    It is great to have one of the classic farming games on modern consoles again, but STORY OF SEASONS: A Wonderful Life can’t hold a candle to many of the more modern offerings.

    While the game improved in many ways such as new events, crops, and animals, it came with a cost.
    This more of a watered down version of the original game. It makes it less of a challenge if none of your animals can die and that you don't even have to feed them. I get that the gameplay was changed to be easier on new players, but this was a core mechanic in the original. At least give an option to change it back with a difficulty.
    If you're a casual gamer, you might be fine. But play the original Gamecube version if you can.

It still a good game that runs well on xbox with fine controls. I hope that we get a remaster/remake of Tree of Tranquility/Animal Parade, as they are, in my opinion, better games then a wonderful life Full Review »
