  • Summary: From the creators of Harvest Moon and Rune Factory for the DS comes the first installment of Rune Factory for a home console. Developed exclusively for Wii, Rune Factory: Frontier takes full advantage of the Wii's unique controls to fully immerse players in the Rune Factory universe. Rune Factory: Frontier incorporates an open-ended structure that allows players to choose the type of game they wish to experience. Whether it's growing crops, expanding the town, fighting (or befriending) monsters or even falling in love, the experience is unique to each player. [XSEED]… Expand

    This is one of the best games I've played on the Wii since we've gotten it.

    Rune Factory Frontier is a not entirely successful experiment. Newcomers might find it too complex, but the experience will be tough also for the admirers of the series, who will surely appreciate the full gameplay and situations.

    Rune Factory is a classic example of a game that has bitten off more than it can chew. It tries its best to offer freeform, open-ended gameplay but only manages to provide an increased number of choices to the limited 'kill all enemies' mantra.

    Ever since I played this, I can't go back to Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town. The Farming, dungeon crawling, RPG stats and upgrading, make this a BIG improvement over it. Any fan of Harvest Moon MUST get this. It's too damn fun. Now let's hope they bring Rune Factory: Oceans to North America.… Expand

    This is the best Rune Factory game I have ever played. Anyone with a Wii, and has any liking for Harvest Moon must get this game. It is well balanced, tons of items to collect/make, and most of all it has that "it" factor that is crucial in these type of games. The translation from Xseed surpasses Natsume by leaps, and bounds. GET THIS GAME!… Expand
