Harvest Moon Grand Bazaar
SCORE: 90
It is official. I have a brand new favorite Harvest Moon video game. What is that game? Harvest Moon DS Grand Bazaar. Natsume tweaks the franchise a little each and every single year. I like the flow and pace of Harvest Moon DS Grand Bazaar the most. There is a weekly bazaar where we can sell items to earn some mega money. This is also the time of the week animals, tools, and more can be purchased. There is a general store that sells a few items during the week, but nothing like the excitement of the grand bazaar.
All of our favorite things from the Harvest Moon franchise are in Harvest Moon DS Grand Bazaar. Raising animals, and growing crops. Earning friendships and eventually romance into marriage. Plus Natsume left out a few of the characters that really hindered the franchise. That is one of the biggest things that propels Harvest Moon DS Grand Bazaar to new heights (editor: in terms of the franchise).
The visuals are extremely crisp and clean in Harvest Moon DS Grand Bazaar. I love the art work in the characters, animals, and thousands of items. Little bugs look good in Harvest Moon DS Grand Bazaar. This hand held game will change with the four seasons. Fishing only comes when you reach the summer so be patient. I know I wanted to fish immediately but the wait was definitely worth it.
The music in Harvest Moon DS Grand Bazaar ranges. Some of it is festive whereas other areas/times are more somber. Plenty of fun special effect sounds especially when dealing with the animals. This is one part of Harvest Moon DS Grand Bazaar that makes spending time with the animals so much fun.
Harvest Moon DS Grand Bazaar starts the player out slowly. They learn the basics, and then eventually more things are opened up. In some ways Harvest Moon DS Grand Bazaar is like a onion. There are layers upon layers. The more I played the more I found. Hunting insects, fishing, growing crops, raising animals, and picking flowers are some of the things in this Nintendo DS game.
Harvest Moon DS Grand Bazaar is like doing chores. But they are chores I enjoy doing. There are better rewards in Harvest Moon DS Grand Bazaar than in real life as well. Natsume included an amazing amount of content in Harvest Moon DS Grand Bazaar. Expect to get your moneys worth from Harvest Moon DS Grand Bazaar. I know I got my moneys worth. And then some.
Harvest Moon DS
Grand Bazaar teaches us how to build from the ground up. None of us
would survive long if farmers were not out there. So they are people to
be honored. Harvest Moon DS Grand Bazaar does just that. It was a true
pleasure for me to play and review Harvest Moon DS Grand Bazaar. I hope
Natsume continues the franchise in this vein.
