Harvest Moon is not like other games. Some people think that Nintendo games should have guns, aliens and stuff, but harvest moon can change their minds. There is more than just farming in harevst moon,you can go to festivals in town, explore the woods and mountains, get married and even have kids! You can even raise cows, sheep, chickens and a horse and your dog. You can visit the ranch to buy and sell animals and buy medicine, go to the mountain carpenters and have additions added to your home, and see a goddes and meet a fisherman who teaches you to fish. Go to the vineyard to see karen and her parents and their hired help, Kai, you can even get wine there. In the town you buy seeds, talk to people, go to church, buy tools and crafts, read books at the library, get potions if you are tired and have the midwife to deliver your baby. This is a game that will make you laugh, cry, and keep coming back for more after you beat the game because you can keep on playing. My rating on this game on a scale of 1 to 10 is 20. --Primeape
