A new Harvest Moon game for the Nintendo DS where you farm. You can also get your mack on, settle down and raise a family. Been there, done that.

You’ve always lived in the city…working 9 to 5 and enduring the rat race that you call life. That is until one day you came across an advertisement for a fantastic life in the country.

It is up to you to successfully build and maintain a farm while befriending the people in town. The best part is…you can do it anyway you want! There is no set path to following…you are in control of how you want to accomplish your goals.

I have to start this review by giving Natsume credit where credit is due: the company didn’t just throw its Harvest Moon characters into a me-too Tetris clone when it made Puzzle de Harvest Moon.

Something strange is happening on Sunny Island. Crops are popping up everywhere and growing out of control. If something isn’t done soon, the once-tranquil island will be buried in an avalanche of vegetables.

Tired of the hustle and bustle of city life? Want to trade it for the simple life on the farm? Then this is your game. In the decade that has seen mass migration from farming communities to the cities this game sets you into a small group trying to make a community by farming.

The islands are in peril! Years ago, a powerful earthquake struck the Sunshine Islands. In Harvest Moon: Sunshine Islands, it’s up to the player to raise the sunken islands by finding the magical Sun Stones.

Rune Factory 2 is set several years after the first game. The evil Sechs Empire has been defeated, and the Kingdom of Norad is once again at peace.

Has Forget-Me-Not Valley lost its magic? You’re a late-blooming farmer, but the Harvest King doesn’t have patience for girls who play all day. That’s why he weeded out the Harvest Goddess and the Harvest Sprites, leaving you out standing in your fields.

You awaken to find yourself in an unfamiliar village with no memory of who you are or how you arrived. Mist, a beautiful young woman comes to your aid and helps you start to build a life for yourself…on a farm.
