THE GOOD: - An enriching game - New Touchscreen Controls
THE BAD: - Glitches - Many aspects of the game seem rushed and unpolished - Graphics are from the last generation - The Casino - The Price of ingame items.
SUMMARY: Harvest Moon DS yet being almost 2 years old is still a high selling game in the Harvest Moon franchise. Harvest Moon DS is an entry in the handheld division which regrettably does not live up to other such titles.
The first problem arises within the first few minutes of playing, this being the story. Admittedly most Harvest Moon games I've felt really need a story to hold it together, the whole "your uncle has died and you have a farm" or such was really getting old. This game introduces a story which is a nice change to the genre yet seems very forced upon the game and worse then that, the player. To put the story in a nutshell the Harvest Witch accidentally petrifies the Harvest Goddess...
They've given all the characters their own dislikes and likes and personalities.
The ability to view heart events.
THE BAD:
You can marry girls from the other gameboy advance games but your game immediately ends.
Full of glitches
After getting married there's not a lot to do
You can only have a boy child
SUMMARY: I know what you're thinking. "A Farming Game?" Well it's not just about farming. You have to get married, find sprites and many other things. The basic plot to the game is a goddess, known as the harvest goddess, has been turned into stone by a princess,...
THE GOOD: I really enjoyed this game. There are many things to do that have been in the other Harvest Moon games such as getting married, having a kid, making friends, raising crops, raising animals, and more. This game however introduces something new which is the challenge of finding and saving all 101 harvest sprites. This game also provides a challenge that makes this game all the more addicting. Harvest Moon DS, has an enjoyable game that provides hours of fun while still retaining the Harvest Moon charm.
THE BAD: This game unfortunately has a few spelling errors as well as some glitches. One such glitch is that the game will randomly freeze.
SUMMARY: At the beginning of this game you see a cut scene where the Witch Princess and the Harvest Goddess battle it out. I'm not going to tell what happens and ruin the fun though. Your game then begins. You start out with a farm and it's your job to work your way up. Like the past Harvest Moon...
THE GOOD: - Very unique plotline. - Different features, such as the use of "Giant" crops. - Sprite teams. - New Girls.
SUMMARY: Plotline~
There's the Goddess, pure good and loving, and the Witch Princess, who is intent on creating chaos and evil. Wait...doesn't that sound like the Wizard of Oz?
The plot is very unique compared to the other games of this series. In order to save the Harvest Goddess ((HG)) from the evil Witch Princess ((WP)), you must uncover and free 60 Harvest Sprites ((HS)).
AWL/AnWL~
Memories, or just plain lazy?
I'd say memories! Many, of not all of the same characters in Another Wonderful Life and A Wonderful Life make yet another appearance in this game! With the characters like Nina, Galen, Vesta, and so many more, this brings back the memories of your old AWL friends!
THE GOOD: There are so many good things about this game. I'll just list a few for now.^^
1. Many events to experience. 2. Get married to 1 out of 14 bachelorettes. 3. Amazing graphics and storyline. 4. Different characters to become friends with. 5. The game never ends. 6. Customize your farm to your liking.
Whew, I could go on and on.
THE BAD: There are only a few bad things about this game.
1. Glitches that can ruin your game. 2. Doing the smallest things, can result in the villagers affection towards you to drop. 3. You lose your stamina quickly. 4. Some things are pointless, like the cat.
Now, there's not too many bad things about the game, right?
SUMMARY: This game is one of the best out of the series if I must say.^^
THE GOOD: - Good Storyline. - Good Graphics. - Descent Music. - Good Gameplay. - Many Choices For Your Marriage. - Has Many Cutscenes. - Good And Bad Glitches.
THE BAD: - Doesn't Have Online Mode. - No costumization at all. - You Are Always A Boy. - No Easter Eggs. - No Voice Acting. - No Replay Value.
SUMMARY: This game is very good, specially if you like different games that include farming, and taking care of a family.
This game has a storyline, even when the game is just about farming and family. The storyline has many fantastic elements, like the Harvest Sprites, the possibility to marry a God and a Witch. The story is very entertained. Young gamers and old gamers will enjoy this game. The elements of this game are beatiful. This game is different, perfect to relax. The story is about you, a farmer that works in a normal farm, but one day, the...
THE GOOD: There are many great things about this game and I will try and sum everything up as best I can. 1. Has great visual art and pictures of its characters. 2. There are a load of new features added to this game. Such as collecting 101 harvest sprites, mini games, way more bacherlorettes, and much more. 3. Exciting at times and it just immediately sucks you in after playing and getting used to the game. 4. More buildings available to buy, you can basically create your own farm, and there are way more bacherlorettes. 5. It has a great story line, with having to save the harvest sprites and the harvest goddess this game may never get boring. It also unlike many other Harvest Moon games allows you to carry up to 99 of one item in your rucksack.
THE BAD: Along with the good there is also some bads about this game. 1. Way too many glitches. That can get very annoying and even ruin your gaming experiences. 2. There is no...
THE GOOD: -Great graphics and sound -Good storyline that's challenging -Many characters for you to marry -More animals for your farm -Never ending story
THE BAD: -Too many glitches (good and bad) -Marriages -You lose stamina too quickly -Cannot be a girl or have a girl baby -No dog or horse competitions
SUMMARY: Yet again, another great Harvest Moon game! If you own a DS, have played any Harvest Moon or love RPG/Adventure's, this game is for you. Despite the glitches, this game has an amazing storyline, similar to that of Magical Melody for Gamecube.
In this game, you watch a cut-scene where the Witch Princess has cast a spell on the Harvest Goddess and she has disappeared. You're job is to find all the Harvest Sprites in order to gain her back. There are a total of 101 different sprites, found for completing various tasks throughout your farming life.
THE GOOD: For the usual Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town and A Wonderful Life players you'll notice that the game is a mixture of both games. There's many ups and downs in the game, but from as far as I played the ups of the games really over powers the bad.
There's new features included in the game using the capabilities of the DS touch screen. There's far more activities to do in the game, more animals, more crops, more bachelorettes and generally new things that wasn't included in FoMT or AWL.
There's special girls that you can be able to marry and all takes effort, so you can't possibly get bored of the game. You can have a son after marriage and unlike FoMT where you child stops growing after toddler age in this game your child grows up to an adult.
THE BAD: There's various glitches that may do you both good and bad, but even so many players just tend to ignore the glitch for the fun of the game. Some of the glitch...
THE GOOD: A mix of characters with their own likes, dislikes and personalities. A mix between the Wonderful Life series and Friends of Mineral Town series. Neverending game play. The ability to marry and have a child. More choices in customizing your farm.
THE BAD: GLITCHES! Finding the Harvest Sprites. The "condition" to marrying a Mineral Town girl. Same graphics as GBA versions. The inability to have a female child.
SUMMARY: Harvest Moon DS is the newest installment of the Harvest Moon series, released for the Nintendo DS. As with every game out there, there's the good and the bad. Fortunately, the good outweighs the bad for this game, but I'm afraid it isn't up to die hard Harvest Moon fans standards.
One thing I love about the game is the people. Every character is different and unique in their own way, with their own families, friends and personalities. Making friends with as many...
