Another old game review. This is Trigger's take on the game:

First glance: "A farming sim? Sounds boring." WRONG. Harvest Moon is like the Sims, except fun. Farming may seem like a boring thing to do in a game, but it's addicting after playing for a while, and being able to say you're the richest bastard in town is always a plus.

Story: 3 1/2
At the beginning of the game, you're given a bit of a background story. Your grandfather croaks and leaves you his beat down farm in his will. It's not worth a dime in its current condition, so you might as well fix it up. Doesn't sound like much, but the game scores so high in this department because you get to make the story yourself, and as a writer, I enjoy that.

Gameplay: 2 1/2
The gameplay is tedious, but once you get your daily chores done, it starts getting fun. Farming doesn't have to be all bad in this game. There's always other activities to do like fishing (takes some sort of skill or dumb luck to be good at), mining during the winter, and lots of crap to collect. The controls are simple, making it easier to do everything.

Sound: 2 1/2
The game only consists of 7 background songs, one for each season, one for the festivals, and one for walking around in the mountain, each repetitive in it's own way. The other sounds boost this score from what I would give a 1 to a two and a half, simply because the sounds are realistic.

Graphics: 3
When I first bought this game, I wasn't expecting much in the graphics department, since it was the N64, but I was surprised. The graphics are pretty good for the time, and are easy on the eyes. The animal designs look anatomically correct, as do the characters, although they lack mouths everywhere, except when your character drinks/eats something, or down at the bottom next to the dialogue.

Replayability/Multiplayer: 4
The replay value of this game is infinite. The game literally never ends and is addicting. Sometimes I really do have trouble setting down my controller. It's also a fun game to play with a friend on the phone.

Overall: 15
A great sim game, though a bit repetitive. It's still fun to play when you're bored.

Once again, time to throw it to Flies for a second glance.

My take:

Second Glance: Hmmm, apparently I like this game a lot more than Shock does.

Story: 9/10
The story is pretty basic, your grandfather dies, so you get a farm that everybody in town thinks is ghetto as hell. And it is. From then on, you basically write the story until your dad comes in the third year to tell you how much you suck at the game.

Gameplay: 9.5/10
Actually, I pretty much never found the gameplay to be that tedious at all. I mean, sure, at the beginning, it was kind of annoying to water each plant individually, but about halfway through the first year (note: not real time, lol), you get the golden watering can, which makes things a LOT easier. After you get mega-rich, there are events during the year which really make the town feel realistic. The best part of the game IMO is that it never ends, that way you can get insane scores.

Sound: 8/10
The sounds in this game are actually very realistic for its time, making games such as Goldeneye sound incredibly obsolete in the process. The music is actually pretty good, but after about an hour of the same song OVER AND OVER, you'll understand why I gave this a lower score.

Graphics: 8.5/10
The art style in this game is really good as well. Like Shock said, I was impressed with the graphics. For an N64 game, it's pretty damn good.

Replayability/Multiplayer: 10/10
The game never fetching ends, so you can keep playing it. Like Shock said, it's fun to play with a friend on the phone to see how you both are doing and see what you can do different next playthrough.

Overall: 17
The best farm RPG on the N64 is actually a pretty damn good game in its own right.

Third glance: farming? unless you control some white niggahs on a cotton field den dis beach is niggahed

If dere ain't no slaves on dat farm, dat poo poo ain't ballin'.

I used to play this game all day back when I had a working N64. Best farm sim ever. Try the SNES version.
