Customer Reviews

fun but frustrating
I really like this game, but the glitches froze my screen numerous amounts of times, eventually you get used to it. I am 14 and I have had this game for a long time, glitches are routine for my game, but the game is one of the best, it has the layout of 'a wonderful life' and the look of 'more friends of mineral town'. I have almost all of the harvest moon games and this one is a great addition.

This should never have been released
I wish I could say this product was a great addition to my collection, but I can't. The fact is that any fun that could be had with this game is quickly overtaken by the sheer number of fatal bugs to be found.

Case in point? I only got to about halfway through my first season when the save file became corrupted and was unable to load. Although I didn't get that far in the game, having lost my progress was enough to make me turn the game off forever.

In the short amount of time I played, I experienced a number of freezes and other bugs. After looking around on the Internet, I discovered that there were several of these relatively "minor" bugs (but only in the sense that your game was not eternally lost-- in no way should a released product freeze the way this one did). There are also a few of the "fatal" ones as well. It's ridiculous.

I would suggest Harvest Moon DS Cute instead of this one. DS Cute has all the fun with none of the bugs. It's everything this game should have been.

Total and Absolute Fun
Harvest Moon Ds will keep you playing for hours! The naughty witch princess accidently made the harvest goddess and all the harvest sprites disappear. It's up to you to find them all! In this game you get not only a free dog but also a free black cat!! Aww, it's so cute! Getting married is really fun! But it's kinda weird since you play as a boy and marry a girl (I'm a girl) But the babies are really cute! The town is alot better than in the GBA! It is much bigger and the graphics are enhanced! Pick up this game and get ready for a farming adventure of your life! Be sure not to litter, it makes people not like you! You can not marry the goddess or the witch.
