Product Description

Has Forget-Me-Not Valley lost it's Magic? You're a late-blooming farmer, but the Harvest King doesn't have patience for girls who play all day. That's why he weeded out the Harvest Goddess and the Harvest Sprites, leaving you out standing in your fields. Break his spell by sowing seeds and finding the Harvest Sprites. You'll need to master planting fields and tending livestock. Perhaps a handsome bachelor will help you before a mysterious thief steals your heart!

Harvest Moon DS: Cute -

Before I get started, just incase anyone that reads this has NOT picked up a Harvest Moon game before... Harvest Moon is a farming simulator with a neo love system embedded into it. Throughout your play, you'll grow crops, raise animals, (in this version) date guys, and move on to have a happy family.
In this game, the Goddess has been punished by the Harvest God for being too lax with her duties. You, as a rookie farmer, have to unseal the cast away sprites and return the Harvest Goddess to her place, all while finally proving yourself worthy to the Harvest God.
Though I've given a brief description, the game play is more diverse and satisfying than what I'm cluing in to. My advice to anyone who has not played a Harvest Moon game and is curious is to just pick it up and see for yourself whether or not it's for you.
Moving on from the introduction...
This is very much like the original Harvest Moon DS released with the male main character, except now you play as one of two girls. There are some added items and the dialogue has changed, but the aspect of the game is still the same, just flipped around.
I was worried while it was being made, weren't we all? When the boy's version was released, it contained so many bugs it was frustrating. Don't get me wrong, this game is not without flaw. It has a few spelling errors here and there, though not enough to bother me or the game play.
As far as the changes go, since you play a girl, the marriage candidates have been switched towards the male spectrum, with more than enough possible bachelors to satiate anyone who has waited for this. Natsume has also (finally) added in a new guy, I might be a bit biased but I'm happy with the add. :)
Continuing on the subject of changes, they've added a wallpaper and flooring system, as well as a clothing change system and a few new events.
All in all, if you're a girl, or just a big fan of the Harvest Moon series, this is most likely a must have for you.

This game is awesome. I think it's better then Animal Crossing. There's so much to do in this game. You can play three different card games, fish, mine, dig for stuff, play with animals, grow crops, cook (not like cooking mama style) buy cloth, make friends, get married and a lot more. The grapics are good and so is the audio. In this version your playing as a girl rather then a boy. I think it's a bit more challenging that the previous games especially when it comes to earning the affection and friendship levels. It's a game worth buying.

If you're a fan of the Harvest Moon series or are just looking into the franchise, I definitely recommend this one. This is the first Harvest Moon I actually tried myself and it officially won me over as a harvest moon fan.

True, it is the female version of Harvest Moon DS but there are many added portions, such as changing clothes to gain more love and friendship points, being able to change your wallpaper, and best of all, none of those really bad glitches from the boy version! Not only that, but there is a new bachelor as well and he alone makes this game worth playing. The mysterious phantom thief is sure to steal your heart! Plus you can connect to FoMT or MFoMT to add the bachelors from Mineral Town to your choices.

Anyway, it's very fun. I haven't finished it yet (I mean, really it's long. It will keep you busy). But stick with it and don't whine about how long and repetitive it is because if you hate sim games so much you probably shouldn't buy this. With fun holidays and things to unlock, the longer you play the better it gets!

Go buy it! Do it! :)
