I just got this today and its quite colorful, really nicely laid out and loads of cute pictures.

It is, unfortunately, not as helpful as I was hoping it would be. I thought that the faqs on gamefaqs[...] were more helpful and more interesting to read. That's just probably because of my age group though :( since I found the writing to be really formal and a little dry. But it was informative. In fact, its kinda like reading my biology book for class Oo; Go figure.

I wish there were a little bit more detailed information - a lot of it is general overview. For example there's a great section about wild animals - but it doesn't list what the wild animal's favorites food are :(

Also, this isn't the author's fault at all - but there's a good number of miniscule mistakes in it as well. oO; mismatched images [...].

Freyashawk includes a lot of really great hints though that I find handy :) What this guide has a LOT A LOT A LOT of are lists. Which is good - if you're a list person. :) Since I'm a really visual person, I'm glad that I did purchase the guide. If you're not a [...] for pictures and you want little hints or information - you'll be quite well off sticking to gamefaqs. :)

As for me, I'm quite happy with my guide. I sure could use more pictures though! :D haha, but that's just personal preference really [ and in all honesty - this guide has a lot of graphics anyways I just want more :D ].

The sections of this guide I used most were the lists - crops, mining, recipes, animals, products. Second is the relationships section.

There was one error that I noticed right in the beginning. There was a box about making money early on in the game that suggested buying as many decent cocoons from Brownie Ranch as you can afford, dying them (preferably blue), then reselling for a big profit. Brownie Ranch does not sell cocoons.

Im really glad i have this book. I had fun playing the game before but now i feel like i acctually know what to do! i would reccomend this book to anyone.

I originally owned the harvest moon for the n-64 and enjoyed it. This version for the wii is so much better! There is more to the game than just build a farm, grow your crops and get married. Its that there is an actual story line behind it all. You have to save the harvest goddess and preserve mother tree. It is so much fun and then trying to win the mini games is a complete competition!! I JUST LOVE IT!!!!

This was my first experience writing a guide for print, as opposed to the internet. It was rather exciting to work with the publishers on an actual book as opposed to the internet guides that I am able to update as needed but which lack the sophistication of a Brady Guide. I hope that players will enjoy both the guide and the game. 'Tree of Tranquility' for the Wii is an incredibly detailed game that allows you to play a 'second generation' game as your own child. All Harvest Moon fans as well as those who have not played any Harvest Moon games previously should be very happy with this game. Your character can be either a boy or a girl. You can choose the gender of your child and thus play the opposite gender in the next generation game. Exotic animals that you can raise include ostriches and silkworms as well as the usual range of livestock and poultry. The plot is quite detailed as well.

It was in good condition, arrived for Christmas.

What more can you ask for?

I LOVE Harvest Moon games and always want to get the most out of them. This strategy guide is extremely well written and informative. The book is well-organized and often repeats material (which is great for finding it later). I keep it with me the entire time I play.

I really love the harvest moons, and this one is a very complex version. I havent played it for a long time yet, but highly suggest that you buy the guide. It has so many things to learn, that you need the book to play.

This is a must have if you have the Harvest Moon Tree of Tranquility game. You cannot play the game fully without it.

I love the game. Almost as good as he melody one (just smaller). Have wasted an entire evening in farming world. But, it is very enjoyable escapism and this game offers some interesting new twists like growing rice! Yeah!
