Confusing, difficult gameplay.

Reviewed by morissette21 on January 30, 2008  |  report this review

This game wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I love Harvest Moon, and found Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town awesome, but I just wasn't feeling this game. Growing crops is much more difficult this time around. It's fine if you know how to deal with hybrid plants, but other than that it makes for confusing game play. If you're up for a challenge, then give it a shot, but if you're just in it for fun like me, then maybe this game isn't the one for you. I recommend its GBA conterpart: Friends of Mineral Town!

Money trick:
This only works if you have the cheat (Action Replay) for "All Tools in Shed". Whenever Van comes to town, quickly go to the Tool Shed, locate the "Fishing Pole G" and keep pressing "A". The Fishing Pole sells for about 1000 Gold a-piece. Keep pressing "A" until you have 99 of them in your Rucksack. Then, walk down to Van's and sell all 99. Repeat as needed (in one day you can receive 500,000 Gold).

Call your horse:
When you press R twice, you get a two-toned whistle. This whistle will call your horse from almost anywhere, even outside your farm's borders. If you are outside and the horse is in the barn, calling it will still work, but you can't call it when you are inside.

Raising Heart Rates:
Celia:
Give Celia Goddess Drop Flowers in the Spring everyday and at the end of Spring to the start of Summer Nik, Nak, and Fak will give you a Blue Feather.Another note to raise Celia heart even faster buy crop seeds from her and only her.

Muffy:
Give Muffy a flower and milk, she'll take both. The same thing on the top will work too. Another note buy a drink or two everyday at the bar her heart will go up also.

Nami:
In the Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter go the ruins everyday and whatever you find give it to Nami. Another note Nami loves crops and recipes. The same as above as the others will happen too.
