  1. Farming couldn't be more satisfying than this. Sure keeping your farm up and running is a task that has you working overtime but there's a lot of fun to be had in the process.

    A great and highly recommended experience that will last you a very, very, long time on the GBA -- but only if you're new to the series on the handheld. Those already familiar with the original game don't need a replay.
  4. If you've played Friends of Mineral Town there's nothing to see here. Move along. If this is all new to you, then you're in for a real treat. There's no other RPG like it - except for the other one that's exactly like it.
  5. Suffers from the same "problems" as any sim-game; repetition of the tedious.
  6. Quite the interesting game, especially for one that is just a clone of a game from a few years past.
  7. The graphics, the audio, the events (and everything else) are identical in both games, but only now, players control a farm girl instead of a farm boy and court future husbands instead of future wives.

    I had so much fun playing this game when I was younger. 8 years later, the soundtrack still replays in my head from time to time.

    I had so much fun playing this game when I was younger. 8 years later, the soundtrack still replays in my head from time to time.
    My favorite activity to do in this game was mining. I loved to see how far I could go before getting to fatigued, and every once in awhile I'd run into a new ore or gem that I didn't even know existed.
    Unlock recipes, raise chickens, cows, sheep and a horse, enter your livestock in competitions, grow vegetables, upgrade your house and tools, the features in this game are endless.

    A truly flawless game if you can be patient and strategize.

    The one and only downside I can say this game has is that the characters talk a bit much and if you don't attend to your calender, you can miss preparing for important dates.

    Same guy below, voting "10" 5 of the 6 times. (Notice identical spelling ,mistakes in every post) I like the game. I'd give it an 8 or Same guy below, voting "10" 5 of the 6 times. (Notice identical spelling ,mistakes in every post) I like the game. I'd give it an 8 or 9, but given the cheating going on, i'm going to moderate with a 5. (Good game though) Expand
