This is my first harvest moon game and ive been interested in playing them all but i havnt found the money or time to get any...but this was on sale at my job and my friend told me that it was worth it so i gave it a shot.overall its been alot of fun. the game progress seems alittle slow and if yuou miss an important event, like i did, it really can screw you up. the most annoying thing i found about this game was watering all the plants at first because your first watering can hardly holds any water. and walking everywhere gets old. but once you get your buggy and robot it speeds things up.i liked the game and am looking forward to playing the other harvest moon games.
