Harvest Moon More Friends of Mineral Town
SCORE: 62
Natsume did something on paper that looked to appeal to the female side of the family. The main character in Harvest Moon more friends in mineral town is a girl. She leaves the hustle and bustle of the big city to start up a farm. I have read up a lot about how tough life is on the farm. Few women in this current age have an interest or desire for that kind of harsh lifestyle. Being the farmer’s wife is a different story. Natsume decided that this game would have a major role reversal (editor: which may account for the lack of success). The player can pick from one of five eligible bachelors to wind up marrying. Like other Harvest Moon games there is a lot of planting, watering, selling of vegetables, and eventually getting livestock. I was so hoping that Natsume would have localized Harvest Moon more friends in mineral town for the overwhelming majority of Christians in America. Unfortunately they, and the ESRB neglect to mention the false goddess content found within this GBA game.
There is fair art work found within Harvest Moon more friends in mineral town in regards to the different characters. Since this is the Gameboy Advance most of the graphics are much smaller. There are also a lot of bland colors found within this game.
Harvest Moon more friends in mineral town is lacking in the sounds departments. There are some sounds, but this GBA game has no relation to the sounds heard on a real farm. All of the attempted goddess indoctrination is highly annoying in Harvest Moon more friends in mineral town. It is my personal hope that Natsume will clean that up in future releases of this series. It really does hold the Harvest Moon series down.
If you can cope with the brainwashing level of goddess content in Harvest Moon more friends in mineral town, then there can be some replay. Like Animal Crossing, the replay found is extremely repetitive. Doing the same thing over, day after day, and being very patient is the recipe found within Harvest Moon more friends in mineral town. There is a lot of crops, animals, and life to live in this GBA game.
It took me awhile to find the tutorial for this game, because I answered one question wrong and thus had all kinds of fun. Once I did completely redo my game I was able to unearth the tutorial, and learn what to do. At that point much of it was too slow, because once I got the gist of it - I had to listen through the rest. I had a real problem jumping over rocks I was trying to pick up so the controls are a little off.
I really had some major
high hopes for Harvest Moon more friends in mineral town. The role
reversal makes little sense to me. I enjoy being supportive, loving, and
caring for my husband. Why would I want the stress of having to provide
for the family? Natsume should only produce sequels to Harvest Moon if
they finally liberate this series from the goddess garbage. They do not
need to fill our kids heads with nonsense, especially when they are
targeting little girls.
