This game surpasses every other game made for the N64. IT is the most ebjoyable game. Its plot is different from most games as there are no bad guys, bosses, fighting, or racing. It might sound pretty stupid as the plot mainly states farming, but there's much more that that. For instance, there's a whole world you can explore where you can buy animals, grow crops, and even make a girls love you by giving her things. You can get married from a variety of 5 girls or 10 girls in the PSX version. You can even settle down and have up to three children in the PSX. The is much more, so much more the list would go on forever. To simply state it, the is the best game in the history of Video game production. So I will ask you, Anybody who has a N64 or Play Station should deffinatly get this game as it never gets boring. It's great fun for anyone and everyone. My dad has his own file and loves it. The play station version should be much better the N64 version but the N64 version is still an out of this world Boo yah totally incredible sweetness game. This game is simply about one thing...life. By far the best game and also, I would rate it way higher than 5 stars but I can't! IT'S THE BEST!

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Rent...BUY!, July 16, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Harvest Moon Back to Nature (Video Game)

This game is the greatest! I'm a BIG Harvest Moon fan, and so far, this is the best one I've played yet! This game is great, but there are a few problems. You can talk to more people, have 20 cows and/or sheep, 10 chickens, the house extensions are easier to get, the graphics are way better, you can get more crops, and the sounds are terrific! The only bad things are, it takes longer to save, you can't skip the long mini scene in the beginning, and sometimes your horse is hard to get in his stable in bad weather. But still, those problems don't stop it from being great! You get used to the saving after a while.

You can still marry and have a baby in the game. Your dog starts off as a puppy and even has a heart-o-meter( that's the number of hearts that appear under his/her name...it depends how much it likes you.)

I could go on and on about the great improvements Natsume gave it, but to make a long review short, I'll just end with these three words...
THIS GAME ROCKS!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Harvet Moon BTN, November 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Harvest Moon Back to Nature (Video Game)

Ok, when people say that this game is boring, fake stupid whatever... I have gottin every Harvest Moon game so far and they are alll great and this one is going to be the best so far. There is a LARGER PLOT, 5 girls to marry and many upgrades for you home (kitchen, ect.) The graphic are much better by far then some of the playstation game on the market today... This game is also in a way educational too. I think that this game bring a better imaginataion for children too make their farm sucessful, they have to buy crops and plant them so they don't die too. this Game in many ways is fun and uses much logic.
