Harvest moon is a strangely addictive game. It is known for having a laid back feel, which even though it is long and slow paced, the game is very relaxing. You start out with your grandfather willing his ranch to you and visiting you after he dies. He asks you to take over his ranch and make his dream of it prospering a reality. Ok the story isn't that great but the game play makes up for it. Your job is to make money raising crops and hopefully afford to change your farm, it is almost completely editable. You must try for yourself to really enjoy the game. After a short while you will look up say it is boring and realize you have been on it for three hours. You have the option to buy animals, food, dig in the cavern under your shed (after an in game year or two), fish, and ride your horse. I still play this over and over, and it is just difficult enough that I have never beat it. Did I mention you only have three in game years to completely restore your ranch? All and all, this is a very addicting game and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.
