A Lazy PortDec 22, 2009
By B. Edwards
"No Pants Today"
First of all, do yourself a favor and get the Gamecube version. It's almost exactly the same. By almost I mean there are slight bits of the game that are shaved off here and there which is never good. In fact if you were hoping on playing the Wii version through as a girl, tough luck they took that out. This game is really fun and one of my favorites... on the Gamecube. I was excited to see a Wii version for 15 bucks at my local Game Stop, but when I stuck it in I found it to be a poorly ported shell of the game that was. There are NO motion controls, not even a waggle. Yeah, I know. Why port the game to the Wii when you're going to map everything to buttons? And it's mapped really badly. Buttons are mapped nonsensically and inconveniently, just trying to pick up objects is a chore. If you have played a Harvest Moon game before then you know this is an issue. I gave the game 5 stars because it is a 5 star game, but not on the Wii. I wouldn't bother paying much for it. Other than its exclusivity there are not a lot of reasons to own it, but I warn you it's pretty easy to get it cheap if you're a collector. This version gets 2 stars as an overall product.
Most disappointing HM I've playedFeb 09, 2012
By Elle I LOVE Harvest Moon, always have. But to be honest, this game was poorly created and irritating to play. After an hour I finally just shelved it.
GREAT!!!!!!Jan 07, 2012
By Aria I absolutely LOVE this game. I've played games for the Wii, playstation and DS, and this is one of the best ones yet. You can do, pretty much anything! After a while, though, it does get boring, but the challenge of having a kid, raising animals and having a farm is priceless!
Not too bad..but...Apr 14, 2011
By K. Vawter This game is okay, but I played Harvest Moon Animal Parade first not knowing that this one was out way before that one so of course this one was not nearly as good. Have only just started to play it, but I can tell it's not going to be nearly as fun to me as the Animal Parade was. Seems more small scale and simplistic. But, like I said, I haven't gotten very far and I'm sure I would have liked it if I hadn't done the other one first.

Don't Buy This From AmazonOct 17, 2009
By Teresa M. Lui For all of those in the know, this game was originally released on GameCube. As a special promotion, it was re-made to be played on the Wii and marketed through GameStop. There are sellers here that are selling this game for 2-3 times the price of what GameStop is offering. Don't be duped by the greedy sellers here.
I have yet to play the game on the Wii, but I imagine that the graphics haven't changed much from what they were as a GameCube game, meaning that compared to other Wii games, the graphics will be kind of lacking. Still, what matters most is that this game is still incredibly entertaining.
If you're hesitating as to whether or not you should invest in this game, head over to the GameCube version of this Harvest Moon and read the reviews there first. Personally, I enjoyed the hyper cuteness of the game, including the oversized heads and cutesy sounds.
