Comment: Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town is really fun and addicting! In the beginning you are a young woman (18-20) living in an apartment. You are tired of you hectick life. No time for fun. You see an ad in the newspaper for a lovely farm. You call the number, quit your job, and head out to the farm. Once you get there, you are dissappiointed. The farm is a mess! The mayor apologizes abd says that you've been tricked! You get mad and hit him. He apologizes again and asks you to stop. He asks you if you would please live on the farm and make it a nice place. You agree. You also get a free puppy! You get to name him and pick her up everyday! He will grow up in 3months-4months. You will also get a free horse if you talkto barely 3x and then go to bed. You can harvest crops too! Dating is fun! There is 5 boys to chose from, each with a different personality. Pick the one that you like and start talking to him and giving him presents. In a year or two you can get married. Also you can go on dates! After you a married, you can have a baby girl. After she starts walking, she stops growing =(
Anyway hope you have fun!

Summary: I'm playing my Gameboy again! Best game EVER!
Comment: As the title says, I was so bored with my Gameboy games, until I found this one. I was a little hesitant at first, but my friend let me play her DS game, and I was hooked!
You are a city girl who is sick and tired of your life, and you see an ad for a beautiful farm in the countryside, have this little daydream and, quick as a wink, call the phone number on the ad. Next day, you go over, and the farm is a wreck, all strewn with weeds and sticks and rocks. The Mayor comes up and says that you've been tricked, the farm isn't at all like the ad says. You then (you don't have any choice over this one) hit him HARD with a hammer. He asks you to please stop hitting him, but you can stop or keep going as many times as you want with whatever tool you have! This game's already fun, huh?
After you stop hitting him, he asks if you would like to have the farm (for free, I suppose)and you have a choice. 'Yes' means you can start your new life. 'No' would mean the game ends, right there, and the credits roll.
Once you clean up your farm, (which took me about 3 HM days) you can go outside and talk to people. The very first time you talk to them, they will introduce themselves, and then they'll say the same things again and again until you make friends with them, so I suggest that!
You can also farm, have livestock (no, you cannot kill you chickens and cows and sheep and cook them) and, if you want, get married!
To get married to one of the eligible boys in town, you need to have these things done before he'll be your husband.
~Up to red heart (There are seven heart colors, Black, Purple, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red, which show how much he likes you. If you have trouble remembering the order, think of it as a backwards rainbow.)
~Seen all 4 heart events
~Have a big bed
~Need the Blue Feather - that's what you propose with
For more info about these, I suggest you go to [...] . I go there when ever I need any help. They also have help for all of the other HM games.
Now for the boys themselves!
Will it be...
Bachelor #1
Doctor.
A smart, serious, polite, cute guy. He has dark hair and dark eyes and wears a doctor's mirror and stethoscope. He is the doctor of the town (surprising, isn't it?) He likes milk and herbs. He is very cute and when you raise his heart level, he will smile a lot, worry about you and your health, and say sweet things.
Bachelor #2
Cliff.
He is a lonely person, but some players fall head-over-heels for him.
He has brown hair in a short ponytail, and brown eyes. He likes Curry and Miso soup. Unfortunately, you will have to ask someone else about him and most of the other bachelors, because I really only know about Doctor! Go to that website up there, and it will yell you everything about everyone in Mineral Town and more!
Bachelor #3
Rick.
He lives with his mother and sister, at the chicken farm. He loves chickens, so, naturally, he loves eggs as a present. I am told he also likes chicken feed, but I haven't tried that yet...
He has scruffy red hair and glasses, and hates Kai's guts. Who is Kai? He's:
Bachelor #4
Kai.
An African-American looking guy who only comes to Mineral town in the Summer. He goes somewhere else in all of the other seasons to escape the cold. He has a purple bandanna around his head, and loves pineapples. If you marry him, he will stay in Mineral Town forever.
Bachelor #5
Grey.
A moody apprentice to the town's blacksmith. He has a blue hat that he never takes off (like Kai's bandanna) and it covers most of his hair, but I think it's a sandy blond color. He has blue eyes, and likes copper and gold, and baked corn, I've heard.
There are also 3 secret bachelors, but I won't spoil what they look like.
Pros:
~The people are SUPER nice! The only one who's rude to you is Grey, and that's only sometimes.
~You stay on you farm forever! There are some HM games, in which I've heard that you HAVE to get married, or you HAVE to have a certain number of animals or plants, or you only have the farm for a few years. Not in this game! You can play however you want, however long you want!
~The boys you don't marry can get married to your rivals! In the other games, they talk about marriage, but they never get married. In this game, if you don't snap up you're guy, or don't care about the others, they can get married to your rival.
~Most people have families, they're not all single like a soap opera. There are even two little kids in town, who will call you 'Big Sister' if you make friends with them. (They are super cute!)
~The rating of 'Alcohol usage' yadda yadda is because there is a winery in town, at night the local inn and restaurant serves wine and other beverages, and there is one cut scene about a drinking match.
~You can change you clothes! I find that very cute! You can choose from six different colors of overalls to wear. The guys like it when you change you clothes a lot.
~There are a lot of cute, random cut scenes. I like to see them, just for fun
~The graphics are very good, and very cute. It IS Japanese, after all!
Cons:
A few typos from the translation, and I've heard you can catch some people speaking Japanese where they forgot to translate it, but I haven't seen that, and there are fewer mistakes that in the boy version of this game (Friends of Mineral Town) for instance, when you check the yellow couches at the Clinic in FoMT, it will say 'Sopha', but in MFoMT that is fixed.
All in all, a great game, and I would VERY VERY VERY highly recommend this game! I would even recommend it over the DS games!
Please say if this was helpful or not, an feel free to write in the comments section.

Summary: 13 year-old girl; Absolutely ADORES this game
Comment: I recently turned 13 and I've owned this game for 1 or 2 years. I've recommended it to all my friends, and even though I got it for Christmas a while ago, I'm still in love with this game!
The story goes, you're a young adult who's bored with her life and doing the same routine every day. When reading the newspaper, she sees an add for a farm, and decides to call right away. When she arrives at the farm, after quiting her job, she's shocked. It's in horrible condition. So you basically have to rebuild the farm, ship crops and animal produce, and make profit. The residents of Mineral Town, the place you live, have their own unique personalities and like different things. There are 5 bachelors eligible for marriage, as well as 5 rivals you must compete with to win the heart of the boy you like before your rival does. Like everyone else, the 5 bachelors have different things they like, and if you build their heart up to red, you can propose and get married!
As for the farm, in the beginning, you can purchase up to 4 chickens and 8 cows or sheep. (You can also get a horse if you talk to Barley) But if you extend, you can get up to 8 chickens, and 16 cows or sheep. The more love you give your animals, the bigger the produce they'll give, which of course means you make more money. You can grow vegtables to ship, watering them everyday, and buy seeds at the Supermarket. It's pretty much up to you what you do with your farm.
Of course, every game has it's Cons, so I suppose I better state that. Pretty much there's only 2 things I can think of.
The first is super annoying, but rarely occurs. Every once in a while while you're mining, you'll find that there aren't any stairs that lead down. Which forces you to go back up. And it can get very irritating if you're on a very low floor and you spent so much time getting to where you were. If you choose to use both file slots, though, this is not a problem because you can always load your game and the next time stairs will be there. In my opinion, I think it's just a minor glitch that can be annoying, but can be easily avoided.
The second is that after a while, the game gets extremely repetitive. You pretty much do the same pattern and routine every day, and you get super bored. This is how it was for me. I got the game, was really addicted, then I got bored and put it down for a few months. Later, I picked it up again, and what do you know, I'm addicted again. It's pretty much addicted, bored, addicted, bored, and so on. A cycle, if you will.
In conclusion, I HIGHLY recommend this game. It's unbelievably fun, and I'm never going to sell it or give it away. All my friend's are hooked, and we each love Harvest Moon to death. I'm soo happy I discovered this game, and I guarantee there's no chance you'll be disappointed.
