Harvest Moon: Back to Nature for PlayStation 1

Pros: New plants and animals, Festivals
Cons: A tad too similar to HM 64

I believe that this is the best Harvest Moon game so far, and this is what I usually compare the newer HM games to. This is a farming role-playing game. You live the life of a farmer - planting seeds, raising animals, improving your farm, trying to ...

Pros: Mostly everything.
Cons: Controls are a tiny bit hard to manage, but other than that nothing.

Overview
In my opinion, Harvest Moon: Back to Nature is the best in it's series. There's so much more you can do than in Harvest Moon 64. The town is different, there are a few new people, some new crops, and many new festivals. The story is...

Pros: unique storyline and gameplay.
Cons: long load times and goofy music

Harvest Moon-
Back to Nature


When my girlfriend Tracy saw me playing this farm simulation/RPG game, I tried to explain to her that the ultimate goals of the game are not far off from the status symbols of rock stars: wealth and...

Pros: Cute graphics, reasonably interesting characters, engrossing farm-work, interesting superflous scenarios
Cons: Repetitive music, can be occasionally tedious in gameplay, lack of substantial plot

When I first bought the game home, practically bubbling over with excitement, all my sister (who has and always will be a fussy gamer) had to say was - "That's it? It's boring."

Two hours later, she was wrestling for control of my game, saying...

Pros: entertaining, lots of variety, challenging, interesting story-line
Cons: Music gets tedious. Must have a "mod chip" inserted in the Playstation.

***Please note*** this review tells a little about how the game is played.

It has been awhile since I have written a review, but thought that this one warranted my return to Epinions - I received an early Christmas gift from my kids - a new...

Pros: Impressive depth, open-ended, lots of new features, the cooking system, Mechabot Ultror, &the complicated relationships.
Cons: Quite similar to HM64, basic sound effects, lousy control, often very repetitive, Winter.

Some games promise adrenaline rushes and huge explosions. Other games promise sharp graphics and sleek special effects. Other breeds of games might promise epic storylines which determine the fate of the world, and still others try to draw you in with...

Pros: An original idea, many interesting things can happen, non-linear.
Cons: Repetative gameplay, bland music, Moves both too long and too fast at the same time.

Usually when we think of RPGs, we think of the 'beating up monsters while going through an engrossing storyline' game. But Natsume decided to go away from the mainstream with the Harvest Moon series. In the series you could grow crops, raise...

Pros: It's the best farm simulation game I've ever played
Cons: It's the only farm simulation game I've ever played

I go into this review with a sort of bias. It is a bias against the dull masterpieces that have been put out by major Game manufacturers in these days. I am mostly speaking of RPG's here, and when one discusses RPGs in this day and age, one usually is...

Pros: You can play on and on, you get lots of vegetable, lots of events
Cons: Control, and you sleep in to separate beds from your wife (I Love Lucy)

Now I am a Harvest Moon fan, and I did like this game... But it was still somewhat disappointing compared to some of the others I have played. For example, the control on this version is nowhere near as improved as the one on N64. You can only move...

Pros: Best version yet!
Cons: RPG element still weak!

Harvest Moon starts out like so many Harvest Moon games have started out before you a young boy (game boy version you get the choice to be a girl) any way. You a young boy has just had their grandpa pass away and now you must take over the farm where...

Pros: Great family game
Cons: Takes a LONG time to get anywhere in this game.

Harvest Moon is a great game that integrates farming and gaming, without the usual blood, gore, and fighting. It lets you choose what crops you grow, and whether to have a wife, or just go the single route.
I have found only a few majors...

Pros: The best family rpg that is based on a farm.
Cons: It takes a long time

The setting is on your grandpas farm. You inherit it after he dies. You have 3 years to make the town like you and if they like you then you can stay. You have to buy animals, seeds, equipment, you have to mine minerals if you want to upgrade your...

Pros: It keeps your attention for hours if your into this laid back kind of game.
Cons: It keeps your attention for hours if your into this laid back kind of game.

Harvest Moon:Back To Nature is a fun game, and makes time go by really fast. Power Berries There are a few things I would have never thought of, but someone else had, like certain places and ways to get power berries(PBs), one way is to get more ...

Pros: Music, gameplay, graphics, controls, replay-ability, marriage, and just about everything!
Cons: Takes a long time.

Harvest Moon has been a game for Nintendo for a long time and now Sony has made one for the Playstation. You can buy animals, get married, and even make thousands of dollars a day. For those of you who haven't played or heard of harvest moon before, it's...

Pros: Long lasting fun
Cons: the music

This game is incredible. It is very entertaining and different from every other game out there. This game has great replay value because there are so many ways to beat the game, and it is impossible to master within three times of playing. You can...
