Like any other harvest moon game, it starts off as you. the player, going into a new town & owning a farm. You can buy crop seeds, tree seeds, and animals like cows and dogs too. Unlike other HM games where you had to release a goddess or raise islands, this one is pretty dull in your motivation to farm- you have to make money for your town's bazaar to be best in the world again. Besides that one down point, the rest of the game is fun and solid. They kept what made the old games great and threw out what made the newer DS games horrible (Only touch-screen use, boring activities, etc). You can "marry" characters and have children, but the latter doesn't have any actual depiction of the childbirth or anything (they're just like, ...You had a baby.) Most of the "bachelors" and "bachelorettes" (emphasis on bachelors) look like they're 14 or 15, with the exception of this one stoic dude wearing a frigg*n lobotomy turban, so it's not really realistic in that regard. But overall this is a really fun game for kids and adults of all ages. ..also, common sense media, is fr*ggin REALLY a curse word? really?
