Return to Sunny Island, the familiar setting from Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness, and get ready to get busy! Something strange is going on - crops are popping up everywhere and growing out of control. Pretty soon, the pristine island will be covered in an avalanche of produce. Get to work figuring out what's going on, while taming the crops and gathering as many vegetables as you can. There are 12 different playable characters, each with their own story. Play through on your own, or challenge friends and family in Multiplayer Mode. You can even take on the challenge of Mission Mode or Score Attack Mode!

To Fast
This game goes by in a flash. It took me all of 30 minutes to beat. It would be good for small children as it is cute but it hardly compares to the legacy of the Harvest Moon collection.

doesnt deserve harvest moon name
I love harvest moon games, and although this one was about farming it was nothing like a real harvest moon game. I played it for a couple of hours and was so bored with it. It reminded me of a bad farming version of tetris. They try to do a story mode but its not interesting and seemed very juvenile.

A puzzle game with the name Harvest Moon attached
First off, I love the Harvest Moon series but this one just carries the name. I played it for an hour before returning it. It is fine if you like puzzle games but if you are looking for a new Harvest Moon game you will be disappointed. Defiantly rent before you buy.

Plenty of replay value!
This game has 12 character story modes each character's completed story unlocks another character and usually new game modes as well. <br />There are all kinds of unlockables and collectibles. Plus you get to learn about the different characters in the game. I had a hard time with the last levels of the 3rd and 4th characters, though. If you're good and puzzle/strategy games you shouldn't have much trouble. I liked this game alot. I hated it's predecessor Puzzle de Harvest Moon.

NOT Harvest Moon
First off, this game shouldn't even be called Harvest Moon. Sure, there's harvesting... in the form of a really annoying and superficial puzzle game. I'd like to say &quot;give this game a rent to try it out&quot;, but then you'd be wasting your queue space for a game that might actually be worth trying out. Or wasting time playing it when you could be doing something more productive, such as counting your belly button lint. <br /><br />Yeah, there are 12 characters you can play as (10 you have to unlock), but why you would want to is beyond me. My wife played this game and literally beat it in 15 minutes. No joke. I'd say that this game might appeal to 5 year-olds, but I think even 5 year-olds have better judgment than to sit through a mock-harvesting puzzle game even for the 10 - 15 minutes required to beat all the puzzles. <br /><br />If you want to play a harvest moon game, play ANY of the other ones. Not this one. The only reason I give this game a 2 is because it isn't broken. Otherwise, this game belongs in the same landfill that ET: the video-game is now residing.
