Harvest Moon 64 Review
Introduction
HM64 is one game that I have had the most fun
ever playing. Once you start playing, you don't want to stop. The game begins
as give a name to your self, farm, and dog. Before I go any deeper in the game,
I should tell you that this game is a farming/life simulator. That's right.
Not only do you keep a farm running but you can have a life. Meed women, town
festivals, and if your lucky, have a baby. Every morning of a new game, you
should tend to your animals. You can have sheep, cows, and chickens. You feed
them and brush them. Next you will have to work on your crops. You can plant,
corn, egg plant, tomatoes, potatoes, cabbage, flowers, and some grass. You should
water the crops each day except for the grass which doesn't need water. Once
your done with crops, you should feed your dog and if you get a horse which
you should, brush and ride it. If you have time in the day you can go into town
and talk to the ladies and any other people in the town. You do this everyday.
Now that might not sound like fun but believe me , it is so much fun. Some days
of the month, the town will hold festivals that you can attend. Win the festival
and you can get certain prizes. Now you will most likely take a liking to one
of the towns ladies. You bring her gifts and talk to her everyday. Do this and
once you get the girls heart in the red, you can marry her. Once you are married,
your wife will do certain chores around the farm. If you keep on pleasing your
wife, you will have a baby. The game is highly addictive and I recommend it
to everyone.
Graphics:9/10
The graphic in HM64 look like an updated SNES
graphics. I not saying this is bad in anyway, it's just that the game doesn't
in anyway stress the power of the N64. The graphic do fit the game fine, I just
wish they would of used polygons. Also the game is views from an isometric views
so you can only see thing from up top.
Sound:8/10
In HM64, each season has it's own music. It fits
the season right. It would be better if it had a little bit of variety. The
song just keeps on playing round and round every day of that season. It can
sometimes get annoying.
Playability:8/10
The controls in HM64 work as they should. Only
sometimes because of the isomectric view, you can sometime water of cut the
wrong crop. Also it can be difficult to aim you character to face a certain
direction. Other than that, it is fine.

Overall:8/10
Overall HM64 is a very enjoyable game that lot
of people will like. Some might not take a liking to farming in a game, but
if you give it a chance, it is fun. Problems like simple graphic and music hurt
this title but it is still a great game.
