Weakness: None.

Friends of Mineral Town is more of a life sim where you farm. You goal is basically to be a sucessful farmer. and you get to meet people, do things, and even get married. Because it's a simulation you can play it over again and things may be slightly different. Also, if you have Harvest Moon for the GC you cna link the two for extras. It plays great on the GBA. However, one problem is that it's...

This game is actually really good. It's another great asset to the Harvest Moon series. The story line to this game is awesome, just like the other Harvest Moon games, and the gameplay is good. I'd buy this one again.

Handheld Holiness

Strengths: Everything except the lack of drunk Karen

Weakness: No drunk Karen

Friends of Mineral Town is basically a port of Back to Nature without the atrocious loading, making it possibly the best Harvest Moon game to date. There are tons of secrets and goals to achieve, and since the game is flat out addictive, it will keep you busy for a long time. It is a must have for fans of the series or similar games, like Animal Crossing.

Harvest Moon is at home on the Gameboy Advance

Strengths: Wide variety of gameplay types that can be enjoyed by all ages

Weakness: Farming can be tedious

Similar to all other incarnations of Harvest Moon, you play a farmer who harvests crops, interacts with other villagers, and eventually gets married. Time passes in "virtual" real-time (1 second of our time is one minute), which can seem daunting given the variety of things you can do in the game. There's almost too much to keep track of, but that feeling of always having something to do in the...

Harvest Moon GBA

Strengths: Tons to do, Gamecube Connectivity, Clean Fun

Weakness: May get tedious

I had never played a previous Harvest Moon title so I was anxious to try this Gameboy Advance iteration.

The only problem is the game can become tedious, but that wasn't really an issue for me. As an added...
