Fun:
Yes this is a new version of Harvest Moon: back to nature with a few new twists.
Firstly, you will notice you may choose to be male Or female
(and yes they both have branching storylines and also different Marriage results!)
farming is Exact, possibly a little to exact as BTN (back to nature) but this is by far the best version for farming sim fans of the series. also back is the mining area which I had missed in other HM (harvest moon)
games (the ores for powering up tools are in here as well as other
Secrets!)
the sound is now dolby and the resolution has been notched up a little more then the ps1 version (its Progressive scan. go ahead and try running it on your TV with the new PSP go ahead... didn't work did it? you Have to have a Progressive scan high def. tv in order to use the Component cables the AV cables are for video etc. guess I proved my point on the graphics)
the animals can be fun or annoying, depends on what kind of farmer you are. Me personally, I prefer crop growing throughout summer *litle chicken raising too* then hothouse growing in winter! house and hothouse upgrades are here as well. this was a brilliant move to bring this gem to the psp!
graphics arent exactly God of War,(they are good though) but Perfect the way they are 5 star
sound is the same in dolby. good 4 star
Fun: to me 5 star! but not for everyone unless you have played the others.
Overall: this is by far my favorite Harvest Moon Game but stay tuned for my Innocent Life comparison Next Month.
5 Stars for Ownership of the farming/life sim game niche market.

Fun:
Ok, we can all agree that not everyone is a fan of the Harvest Moon series. So with that in mind, if your not a fan of Harvest Moon, then by all means, stay away from this game. But, if you are a fan or have had some mild fun with one of the games avalible in the franchise, then this a definate pick-up.
As a fan of the series myself, I have to recommend this to anyone who owns a Playstation Personal. Though the PSP may not be the best portable system out there, Harvest Moon Boy & Girl will surly make you put down your Nintendo DS for a while.
This is really a game that breaths to be played on the small sony platform, and not just because it's physically on the PSP, but because it was originally released on the Playstation, (named "Harvest Moon: Back To Nature") back in the 64MB (graphics card) days. This might be a problem for veterans of the series but if you haven't played the original, it shouldn't hold any problems.
But this is not just any port to a more updated system, Back To Nature never featured the option to play as a female, so now the series is not just limited to the male crowd.
Harvest Moon: Boy & Girl may not be a truly new experience for the hardcore gamers of the first edition of Sony's Playstation, but it is one of the best installments of the series and should be played as such.
(If you don't own a PSP of your own, then it is highly recommended you try and grab a copy of the previous issue 'Back To Nature', but as of August 28th, 2007 new copies of the game are running up to $70 and $80, so even that may be a distant fantasy. So as a alternative, there is a Gamboy Advanced version labeled 'Friends of Mineral Town' that is easily prised and lots of fun to play.)

Fun:
Harvest Moon Boy & Girl for the PSP is just like the classic versions released previously on the GB only with updated graphics, and little changes.
The opening in a drawn out story, explaining how 'you' washed ashore. You are taken in, and given a home to live in vowing that you'll restore the farm.
The game is pretty fun, but can be a bit frustrating when you're trying to earn money to buy an upgraded version of your rune sack. There are also small lags in the game. The worst of the lag is right as you near the Doctors house, even if you run your character slows to a walking pace, and then speeds up. It's only in that one spot. Also, when the church bells ring the game seems to freeze for a moment. I'm not sure if they meant for that to happen and give some affect that people stop what they're doing to listen to the bells, or if it was just a small glitch.
With the lag issues aside the game is still enjoyable, and a good way to pass the time.
-Edit Jan. 13th- After finally getting to the Winter season of the game, I've discovered a few graphics glitches. There are several black dots in the snow on occasions. Also, once I entered the cave that you get to by crossing the frozen ice the environment turned to spring suddenly. I had to re-enter twice.
But, with all being said it's still a good game, worth playing.
