HM:BtN Has a little more content. For a good comparison check out this…

@Lusi – Pretty much, but the blending of the two elements work so damn well to create that certain addictive formula.

I get the feeling that the HM games are kind of like a sort of… SimFarm. With some dating sim elements. Yes/no?

@rbk: It’s typical Nintendo syndrome – they should know by now that adding waggle gimmicks does not make something more fun.

I think Ginia should review videogames!

I played the hell out of that game. Quite a few of the DS games are good, actually…It’s just when it comes to the recent console games that the series tends to shit the bed…

Taking out a female character option just to add stupid waggle gimmicks? Please. I think my favourite is the Island of Happiness for DS. There’s stupid animal mini-games, sure, and mining is a bitch, but otherwise, a real time sink.

If I’d have to put into words what makes HM64 so great, I’d have to say that it’s probably because it doesn’t try to be more than it needs to be. It’s not bogged down by gimmicky shit like the newer Harvest Moon games are, also the game in my opinion has the best pacing in the series; at first it may seem like the days go by too quickly, but once you get into the rhythm of things you’ll find that you always have enough time to do everything you need to do in a day, where in most Harvest Moon games now a days you’ll get everything done and there will still be a bunch of time left in the day but nothing to do to fill that time so you just end up going to bed. Harvest Moon 64 had a ton of things to do, lots of festivals and events, places to explore, interesting people to interact with and get to know, lots of little things to find and unlock. The game was so simple yet so grand! Shit, now I wanna go turn my N64 on and play that game, but that would require playing on my crappy CRT TV… I really wish Natsume would put the game out on Virtual Console…

But I’m one of those people who like to strive for perfection and meticulously plan out my little HM dude’s life for optimal monetary gain and/or social standing (depending on the game) The “take your time, everyone wins anyway” thing isn’t really my thing most of the time.

If I had to compare this game to others in the series I’d say this is the second worst game in the series (the first being Save the Homelands). I wouldn’t really recommend it to Wii owners; if you didn’t play it back in the day then you’re not really missing out on much, if you really want a Harvest Moon game for the gamecube/wii you’re better off picking up Magical Melody.

@Lusipurr The best Harvest Moon game is the one that came out for N64, the rest of the series fails in comparison to that game, so if you’re ever looking to try the series out, that is the one you should play.
