Be the person you want to be in this farming adventure. In Harvest Moon: Boy & Girl, you must choose between Destiny (playing as a boy) or Fate (playing as a girl). While the farming chores are similar, your life, goals, friends and future family depend on how you help and interact with others in this wonderful world. Non-linear, real-time game play allows for a wide assortment of events. Compete with villagers in challenging festival mini contest. Play as a boy or a girl – two games in one. [Natsume]

If you feel the urge to give an older game a spin, and enjoy very simple, very goal-oriented gaming tasks, then this may be worth a look. But Harvest Moon, as always, is not a "game" in the traditional sense, since a lot of it isn't fun. It's a meditation on hard work, patience with repetition.

Still unique and oddly enjoyable, Harvest Moon: Boy & Girl might not be as perfect as the console games but it’s still just as interesting on the PSP.

If you don't mind paying full price for an unchanged port, albeit of a classic game, then you're most likely already a Harvest Moon fan and know what you're getting yourself into. Everyone else, we recommend waiting for a better Harvest Moon title - one with gameplay worthy of the series and graphics worthy of the system - to come out on the PSP.

Little more than a port of the PS one title, "Harvest Moon: Back to Nature." [Nov 2007, p.89]

Harvest Moon: Back to Nature and Harvest Moon for Girls are poorly ported together in this bundle that brings nothing new to the farm.
