Handheld Bliss.

Graphics: 10/10
It's a DS it has limited graphics as all hand-helds do, you wont see amazing realistic can smell touch and taste it kind of graphics. But, you will be pleasantly greeted with refreshing and adorable ones. The environment is creative perfection.
Sound: 9/10
It's amusing, you have pretty much the same thing day after day but it's not annoying where you just hate it. It's more like you wake up, the music plays and hum along with it as you start the day.
Story: 10/10
It's pretty crazy, you have to raise islands that have sunk beneath the waves after a giant earthquake. And get married and have a family and successful farm as usual. :)
Gameplay: 10/10
It's so much easier then it's previous installment where you had to do everything with the stylus. Now you can use the buttons and it makes it a lot more smooth. The only problem is the days go by a bit faster. Which can be a problem in the beginning but they do have an accessory which slows down the time which is amazing. :)
Overall: 10/10
I love it. It's fun and a great game to have when you're on the go or waiting around somewhere. I would say buy it, it's cheap and the hours of fun will be worth the money.

Yes the characters are indeed the same but we all saw that coming. I will say that the concept is quite fun, you must find Sun Stones in order to raise a new island.
It is a bit on the easy side as far as improving your tools and a few other aspects that old school Harvest Moon players, but so far I have noticed it takes longer to improve your relationships with your animals compaired to the last.
Conclusion....If you have played the last Harvest Moon for the DS, rent it, you are sure to enjoy it. If you haven't played many or no Harvest Moon games before, I think it is a userfriendly way of coming into the Harvest Moon World and you will thoroughly enjoy playing this game and may even become addicted.

Good:
- Fun at first
- Interesting story
- Controls work
BAD:
- Horrible graphics
- Male character looks like a baby
- People never change their conversations with you
- Farming isn't that fun
- Bland characters
- Finding the Sun Stones is not fun
And every day consists of (in order)
-Water crops
-Fish
-Find flowers
-Mine
-Give fish,flowers,and rocks to people so they become happy
-Fish
-Pick up junk
-Sell junk and fish
-Go to mines and fall down a hole and "die"
-Repeat!
Not a fun game at all! Im a HUGE HM fan and this game was not what I was hoping it was going to be!

If you haven't played Harvest Moon before, or just didn't play the previous title on the DS, I absolutely recommend the game. If, however, you bought the last one - just play it again.

Permenant Collection

I gave it a 9 because these days everything has an option of multi-player and it is only single player at the moment. It would have been even more fun for my kids if they could game together.
All in all, the kids loved it (its about what they enjoy, not me) and I enjoyed the quiet travel time in the car! What parent wouldn't rate that a top!?? =)
