I have been a fan of Harvest Moon and Rune Factory for a very VERY long time. I absolutely LOVE those games, along with Harvest Moon's branch off in the life of Story Of Seasons. Now when I first saw this game, I was hesitant, as I had seen quite a few people claiming it to be just a "Harvest Moon ripoff." I just want to say one thing, this game is the Harvest Moon of PD. This is the PC version of Harvest Moon and it is everything I could have ever hoped for in a farming came on my computer. So if this game is still considered a ripoff Harvest Moon, then I will proudly play it with that title. This game has everything and more. Combat, expansions on the house and buildings, different types of farm land, relationship building, mining, fishing, animals, and even a ton of artisan based goods that give the game a deeper depth than it already had. Now if only they would add crochet into the game...>.> (it's not because I'm a crocheter or anything-goodness no lol) Honestly, I could not ask for more of this game, and I couldn't be happier with it. I rave about it all the time, and I even bought it for my Husband after he bought it for me. (muliplayer here we come!) What would add just the strawberry on top of everything, would be to have a livestock festival, other than that tiny little thing I would love to see; this game is damned near perfect! If you are looking for a farming game that lives up to the farming sim title for PC, I urge you to pick up this game, if not encourage anyone reading this to. You will not be disappointed, nor will you ever be bored!
I have this game when it first came out, it was amazing! I lost the CD though when I moved and I was heartbroken. I never thought I could get this game again and be able to play it, you don't find too many used computer games in stores anymore. I am so pleased to know you can get this game now and happy with it!
