Legendary. Simply Legendary.

The Good
The Harvest Moon series is a chain that I have just recently dived into. This game was the first that I purchased, specifically. Now, I am a full-time fan. It has been known to be one of the least original games in the series, but the captivating storyline's charm is still there. This time around however, you are required to interact more with the townsfolk, and less working on your farm than in previous titles. But with 9 different endings, and 4 lengthy seasons, you should give this "legend" a try!

The Bad
My one flaw with this game may be minor in size, but you too will hate it if you buy this game. There simply ISN'T ENOUGH TIME TO SPEND IN THE WINTER SEASON! You only have a year in all, and winter is the final month. This means that you don't get to enjoy the crisp coldness, of enjoy "ice-fishing" enough. Nevertheless, it is STILL a good game.

The Bottom Line
(see my "What You Liked" paragraph above).
