The first thing you have to do is pick where you want your farm to be,there are 3 places to choose from which is another difference to other versions where the farm is picked for you.Each have their good and bad points-i picked the one in the town as i like mining. One thing i didn't like in the game is that you don't have the option to be male or female,you can only be male
Shops-As you progress in the game more and more shops will open.These include places such as a junk shop,cafe etc
Eating and cooking-Your energy plays a big part in this game.If you don't eat you can pass out.I find this quite annoying as i always forget to let my character eat.
House-This starts off quite basic but you are able to decorate both the inside and the outside to make it more personal.
Graphics-The graphics are good in this,very clear.
Controls-In this game you use both the wii remote and nunchuk.It is easy to master them but if you get stuck there is a page in the instructions to help.I do think that this game is worth the money as there is loads to do in it from adding to your house to getting married and having kids!!
I think this version is so much better than the ds.There is loads more to do and the graphics are a lot better.One feature i really like in this version is that there is mini games where up to 4 people can play.
It is a relatively easy game and i think that kids would have no trouble with it.It does say 3+ on it which i think is a little young and i personally wouldnt let anyone that age play computer games at all.I would say it is okay for ages 7+ just because there are things to complete in it.
Advantages: good role-play based story, graphcs good Disadvantages: may be ticky to get the hang of at first
This game appealled to me for the outset as it was a role-play type game where you become a character and live their life. I've always been a fan of games like this eg the sims and thought that this, coupled with the easy control given by the Wii remotes, would be a great match.
In the game itself, you become the lead character and have to make your living. You do this by foraging, fishing and growing crops on your farm. You then sell your produce ... ...reinvested eg into livestock to further make money. The game goes through the four seasons, and you must grow different crops in all seasons. There are also competitions such as best cow/horse, during which you must attempt to beat your fierce rival Jamie. You must also interact and build relationships with the other people living in thevillage.
I found this game quite difficult to get the hang of at first, but once you work out what you are to ...

Advantages: Whole family are able to watch play Disadvantages: Have to play as a boy, only uses the joystick and buttons
After playing Harvest moon on the Nintendo DS (never actually finished it but love playing it) we made a family purchase for the wii so that we could all play and watch together. What a big disappointment, the game is not at all what I was expecting, like the DS game you have to be a boy you can't decide what sex to be which is fine but you would think that the developers would have added some extra options. Don't buy this game expecting to use the ... ...and buttons which makes me wonder why Nintendo made it accessible for the wii. I found it quite difficult to work out what controls to use for certain functions, the instruction booklet is helpful to a point but does not explain how to do some of the most used functions like filling your watering can! I wish there was a way to skip the beginning as it feels like you are watching a movie not playing a game, it seems to go on for ages and ages and ...
