I bought Harvest Moon - A Wonderful Life because I remember borrowing it from a friend one summer several years ago. I remember the game being very cute and fun. In the game you run a farm, but you also maintain your relationships with the villagers, and take care of a family. Getting married is an interesting feature, since you have three potential girls to choose from. I like games were you get to upgrade and improve things. In AWL you can buy more animals as you can afford them, and you can get a few new buildings. Only two out of three new buildings that you can get actually offer anything new to the game though. The villagers are quirky, which is fun. It's fun to figure out what kind of gifts each person likes, and once you've become friends with people, they might give you a gift in return. Sometimes you trigger cut scenes just by entering a building, and that gives some nice variation to life. You can also go fishing, dig at the dig site or play a game with the firework twins. Those are the only mini games there are, though. The music and graphics are nice, cute and mellow, though sometimes it gets too quiet in the absence of music. On the downside, the game does get a tad repetitive sometimes. Sowing, watering and harvesting crops gets dull at some point, especially when you've tried every crop already. There are only two calendar events per year, and they consist of cut scenes that only trigger if you're at the right place, at the right time. The villagers seem to always say the same things, which is boring. All in all, AWL is a good game for any HM fan, or anyone who's looking for a game that's not about killing people. It's a relaxing game, and taking care of your farm, family and animals is fun, and gives you a summery feeling, even in the winter! It's also a long game, with a lot to do, so you don't run out right away!Read full review

My daughter loves it since you can marry an additional person and choose the gender of your child. This isn't 100 characters, but it will be by the time I finish this sentence.
This is such an excellent game, I have spent countless hours caring for the animals and crops on my farm. I got the game because I had a previous version "Back to Nature" which was very enjoyable. In this version of 'Harvest Moon' there are bulls as well as cows, roosters to go with the hens, sheep, ducks, dogs, cats, a goat and a horse. On top of that there are many types of fish to be caught, relics to be mined and other fun mini-games as well as having a virtual social life, so there's always plenty to do. My favourite part of 'A Wonderful Life' has to be growing crops, trees are included in this game and can be harvested from again and again. Seeds can be used to make hybrids so you can have a tree which its fruit is half orange and half apple. The villagers are generally friendly and helpful, this is not a game for action or adventure, it is set in a peaceful village suitable for the caring, thoughtful farmer.Read full review
