role-playing

This game is non-violent game (my mom is soooo against shoot 'em ups), it has great graphics, there's animals (I'm an animal lover), and crops. I think, it's probably my favorite Harvest Moon game of all. I started by seeing it at my friend's, and then I just HAD to play. Every weekend we'd get together and play, it was soooo much fun! Then, my bro got an N64 and I got that version - not as good, but it was still fun. I really recommend this, there's such great stuff to do!

I rate it 99 stars out of 100

It's really alot of fun, and there's so much more to it. You also have rivals for the girls, and if your cows and sheep have 10 hearts, they can win the Sheep and Cow Festivals and have GOLD wool and milk! Harvest Moon: FOMT is also good, and it takes place in mineral town too. It's basically the same, but there are some changes, lol!

This is a great game-it's different, but fun. Don't waste hours blowing up aliens, running from monsters, or shooting criminals, but care for animals such as cows, horses, dogs, sheep, chickens and fish, grow crops, make relationships, participate in village events and festivals, and make yourself a part of a farming world many of us have never experienced. Harvest Moon: Back to Nature takes us into the simple life of a farmer, and is oddly realistic. Play for hours; never get bored even after beating it! Take in the graphics, sound effects and certainly get addicted! Be sure to visit the festivals, participate in animal competitions, swimming, races, and even tomato throws! Extend your house as soon as possible and get kitchen utensils, cook food from crops and animal produce, and even watch your favorite shows on television! Don't miss out on one of the best games Natsume has to offer-19 dollars is cheap compared to this game's awesomeness!

this is the best game ever. after u visit your grandpa's farm when u were little u have take care of the same farm which has been neglected for years. u have to keep a farm going and put it back to how it was in 4 years. u can interact with difffernt people in the town and u can even get married to any of the 5 town girls:

mary:the librarian
karen:she works at the supermarket
ann:the tomboy
ellie:the sweet nurse
popuri:i dono

anyways u can build extensions to your house and add new things to your farm. u can raise animals like cows, sheeps, chickens, and a pony. u can grow many crops like vegetables and u can even grow flowers. there are also many festivals in the town like the horse race, the goddess festival, new years eve, tomatoe festival, a swim race, and lots more. u can also mine minerals like copper and gold and u can even get recipes and cook food. basically this is the best game. it may sound different but it is so fun and u will be hooked after u play for just 5 min! buy this game!! u wont regret it!!!! plz buy it!!!
