Harvest Moon: More Friends Of Mineral Town Review
By: Skittlez


I want to start this off by saying: I started out playing Harvest Moon N64 a long time ago. I was automatically addicted to the game. I spent many hours and pulled a lot of all nighters due to this game. At first I was sceptical that a farming game would be any fun at all. Since then I have went on to play every Harvest Moon made, including the very first ones. 

Graphics: Rated 8
I rated the graphics an 8 because they are not as great as most games. Although I love the graphics I know a lot of people are automatically turned off by the lack of great graphics in this game. Don't let that stop you from playing this game though. Good graphics don't mean its a good game. The graphics are meant to be more cute than anything else. I rather enjoy the fact of the low graphics and I think it adds character to the game.


Sound: Rated 9
The only reason I didn't give the sound a full 10 was because at times it can be a tad bit annoying after you have heard it way to many times. I, personally, enjoy the music and tend to find myself humming the song from the N64 version of Harvest Moon quite often. The music on Harvest Moon just adds to the game. I enjoy the music and how it switches depending on where you go, on festival days and during each season.

Addictiveness: Rated: 10
I have seen this game with lower ratings than this for how addicting it tends to be. I don't understand how. I have and probably always will find Harvest Moon to be addicting, and this version of the game is no different. I enjoy planting crops for each season, getting new animals, taking care of those animals and wooing my future spouse. Its over all addicting because there is so much to do and there is always that next house upgrade or that next item you want to get.

Story: Rated 10
I have always enjoyed the over all story of Harvest Moon. Buying or inheriting a run down farm that you have to fix up to its former glory. Its just interesting to see the farm from when you first start to the thriving farm you make it into.

Depth: Rated 9
I rated this game a 9 because there is a lot to do in it. You can raise animals or grow crops. If you don't like that idea then just go fishing or mine for rare ores. Woo your future spouse and go make friends. Participate in the festivals. Get house upgrades and buy new products from the stores. There is so many options on what to do.

Difficulty: Rated 7
I can't rate this game higher than a 7. Where as I have talked to people that found Harvest Moon to be rather difficult, I never found it to be that hard. It can be challenging at times to keep up with everything you need to do once you get yourself started. Finding time in the day to take care of animals, water crops and still collect things to sell can be difficult at times. Also managing to work enough to get some money but not so much that you pass out is a bit difficult at times but overall I don't find it challenging. 

That is a really nice review Skittlez93. Plus, I myself am a harvest moon fan, I haven't played this game before but now I think I will give it a try. Harvest Moon games are pretty hard to get a handle of when you first try to play them, and Harvest Moon games always have their amazing music as well. Whenever I play a harvest moon game it always pulls me in and makes me want to keep playing. There are always a variety of activities to do in these games. I hope to see more good reviews from you in the future.

Thanks! 

I have always loved the Harvest Moon series. I have heard that they are considering making a new one for the WiiU. Seriously hope its true, would love to have a new Harvest Moon to play. 
As for this one, I have been playing it for 2 days now and I'm already addicted as usual. I played the original (Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town) back when it first came out but never got to play this one till now. I love it and its great to be able to play a girl. 

Hope you enjoy the game and thanks for the positive review
