    I had so much fun playing this game it's just stupid - pure and innocent, cute, quite long: the perfect game. This will be one of the first games I'll show to my children.

    One of the best, if not the best Harvest Moon game. Has pretty much everything you want from a Harvest Moon game. Tons of crops, tons of characters, so much storyline and events that it might just be to much, and plenty of secrets. If you are a Harvest Moon fan and have yet to play this one, I feel bad for you, because it's that good.

    After playing Harvest Moon 64, Harvest Moon (GB), Harvest Moon 2 (GB), and Harvest Moon 3 (GBC), this game has become very addictive! It may not be the greatest game when you start, but as you get into the game, it gets extremely fun! I would recommend anyone who likes RPG type games with a little creativity in it! Creativity consisting of growing crops which you water and harvest, learning recipies for your cookbook, marrying a girl (5 to choose from), and having a child on a successful farm! This game is one of the best games ever to hit the market! If you have any questsions about this game! Please email me at Krnnamja08@hotmail.com … Expand

    Beautiful because of its simplicity, Harvest Moon: Back to Nature is one of the most fun and suprisingly challenging games I've played.

    This game rules! Farming may seem kind of boring, but Natsume made it fun. Especially with all the women and such.

    It's extremely cute. I only started playing it two days ago, and it has already grown on me. PS The cows on the game are REALLY cute! THEY ROCK!

    Harvest Moon isn't for the impatient gamer, but those who stick with it long enough will discover its rustic charm.

    Surprisingly one of the most satisfying role-playing experiences to be found on the PlayStation.

    Gets high points for being unique and reaching out to a new crowd of fun-loving would-be farmers. But as aforementioned, I personally don't find heaps of enjoyment in games this incredibly slow.
