  1. Even after two years, this is still my favourite Harvest Moon game in the whole world ever. Whether you're a fan or a newcomer, Magical Melody is captivating, mixing the best aspects of every game that came before to create the biggest, most involving, most addictive and most challenging entry in this loveliest and most unique of series.
  2. This will tide us over until a proper Wii Moon, but it's one of the laziest Wii ports to date. [May 2008, p.73]
  3. Harvest Moon: Magical Melody is a successful conversion from the Gamecube to the Wii. Fans will enjoy the game, but newcomers will also like the addictiveness of this game and its unique style. But the game is technically a bit behind, the difficulty is low and the story is a bit boring.
  4. This game actually has less content than the original, and with no other improvements, it's hard to recommend this even at a $30 price point.

    A very good game and well worth playing if you're a fan of the series. The only downsides are the controls, which are a little fiddly, and the the fact that you can only play as a male. In the original gamecube title you could choose between male and female characters - why the cut? Expand
