Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life Special Edition

Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life Special Edition
Review


Gameplay: [8/10]
Awesome game play! A Harvest Moon classic! They added fun stuff in it. You will be able to get cool stuff from the villagers that will greatly help you with your farm. You ca get records, you can get the seed maker for free from Daryl, the Watering Can S from Romana, etc. It also has awesome cut scenes to help you befriend the villagers IF YOU MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS/CHOICES of course! After a chapter, you will have a son. He will have the same hair color and interests as your wife. After each chapter, your son grows. So better make encourage him the career you wants him to have. It’s time for the bad things in the game. The festivals are all just cut scenes. You can’t interact in the festivals anymore unlike the previous games where you can race with your horse or swim during the summer festival. Another thing is that the loading progress (entering doors) is long. They also deleted the feature for your character to go the market.

Graphics: [9/10]
Totally cute graphics! Cute characters throughout the game. But of course it has some flaws.

Sound: [10/10]
Great sound! Different background tunes in each location. You can even choose the melody for your farm. There are many relaxing music to choose from!

Story: [10/10]
Same with all the HM games. The story is about a man (in most games) or a lady (in some games) trying to live by farming. He needs to befriend the villagers and find his spouse. He not only needs to raise the farm but also raise his child after the first chapter of the game.

Total: 9.25
