PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Shaun Ormond  "This Game Is An Awesome Game! I Stayed Up For Two Days Straight Playing It No Lie! It Has Pretty Good Graphics And You Know There Is Always Something To Do. Eventually I Stopped Playing After I Got Through The Fourth Year , But Now I'm Back To Playing Nonstop Again And That Is Why It Is So Awesome. The Charactors Have All Their Own Unique Qualities Which Makes It Interesting. One More Thing Is That Its Not So Easy To Beat That You Beat It In Less Then A Month, It Will Take You Years To Actually Get Through The Whole Game."

Kimi Rodriguez  "This Is The Best Game In All The Universe! You Should Try It! When I First started Playing It, I Couldn't Stop! It Is So Realistic That Even Violent-loving People Should Love It.

By Now, I Should Be Playing For Over 2 Years. The Game Is Just Fantastic! Owning A Farm & Taking Care Of It Is Like Real Life And It Is Definitely Better Than Any Violent Game Or Any Other Game At All!"

Tony Gillis(tonygillis  "I Played This Game For About 2 Months, I Had Over
1 Million Dollars, Then My Memory Card Broke, I Almost Flipped, I Had Everything You Could Get On It, I Started A New One And I Am Hooked On It Again. This Is One Of The Best Games That I Ever Played. This I Couls Say Is In My Top 10's List For Sony. Now I Owned This Game For Around 1 Year And I Have A Million Again. I Didn't Play It As Much The Second Time Because I Knew Everything That Was Going To Happen. I Think You Should Definetly Get This Game If You Can, First I Thought It Was Just A Weird Farm Story, But Then I Played It And It Was Really Good, You Should Get This Game, It Is One Of The Best."

Patrick Namon  "I Have Bought This Game From Reviews And It Is Awesome. I Have Had It For A Year And It Still Offers A Challenge. I Love The Fact That What You Do Effects The Whole Outcome Of The Game. I Married Karen Because Just Look At Her. Anyway, I Encourage All To Buy It But It Does Seem Hard To Locate. If Anyone Knows Where The Second Game Is (harvest Moon Save The Homeland) E-mail Me Because I Love The Series."

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Eric Hathaway  "In My 14 Years Of Life I Have Never Spent So Much Time On Any Game I Have Ever
Played. I Own All But 23 Games That Are Currently Avalible For Playstation And
This Is The Only Game That I Have Spent 2 Years Playing And Not Getting Bored.
The First Time I Saw This Game Was At My Sisters House In Seattle. I Saw Her
Playing It And It Looked Boring At First...but By The Time 10 Min. Had Gone By I
Would Not Even Get Up Of The Couch To Gp To A Baseball Game.

All In All This Game Has So Much For You To Do That You Will Enjoy Playing This
Game For Years...

For Anyone Who Helped Design, Buld, Advertise, Or Anything To Put This
Product Out On The Market,... I Thank Them For It. This Game Is Outstandingly
The Best Game There Is Out There...yet...that Is Of Course Because There Is
Always The Next Harvest Moon..."

I've Only Had The Playstation One For 5 Days And It Is Cool. I Still Haven't Beat It Yet. If You Liked The N64 Version Of Harvest Moon, Then You'll Like The Playstation One."

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Lorcan  "I First Found This Game When Two Of My Friends Bought It And Wouldnt Stop Talking About It. So I Had To Listen And Endure It. But I Was Slowly Drawn In By Its Beautiful Graphics, Intuitive Gameplay And Charming Exterior Which Only Masks A Depply Involving Game. The Sub Games Are Split Up Nicely And Raising Animals Is So Much Fun!!! The Diversity In The Crops Is Surprising And With So Many People To Be Friends With, This Game Takes A Lifetime To Complete. Even After The Three Year Time Limit Has Elapsed, You Can Continue Playing And There Are Many More Things To Come After Then. This Game Changed My Life And I Cant Wait To Get Harvest Moon 2: Save The Homeland As It Will No Doubt Correct The Few Problems That Were In This Fantastic Game. Buy And Play Without Predjudice. It Is A Classic. Thanking All Who Made It,
Lorcan O'neill"

Kath Mccullagh  "Well Where Did My Life Go? The Last Month Has Been Spent Worrying If My Crops Are Ready For Harvesting. What A Fantastic Game, So Different Form The Usual Mindless Violence That Seems Endemic In Every Game These Days. I Think The Favourite Thing About Hm Is When I Have Male Visitors At My House Who Will Scream In Fury At Having To Endure This Girls Game. Unntil About Ten Minutes Have Passed In Silence When They Shout "why You Planting There" Or "aren't You Supposed To Go To The Shop This Morning" Before Taking The Controller Off Me To Have A Go. What Can I Say A Real Gem It's Totally Got Me Hooked."

I Came Home From College And Spent 48 Hours Watching My Mom And My Boyfriend Play Harvest Moon, With My Sisters Searching The Internet For Tips. 48 Hours, And I Wasn't Bored Once. Now I'm At College Again, And I Can't Wait To Go Home For Spring Break So I Can Play Again. Not To Sound Cheesy, But This Video Game Has Brought My Family Together."

There Were Fights Between Myself, My Partner And Son As To Who Got To Play It First. It Is Highly Addictive And The Best Bit Of Hm For Me Was When The Wife Had Her Baby And You See It Gradually Growing Up. The Program Writers Really Did Think Of Everything!!"

The Moral To The Story Of This Game Is Great And I Hope That Everyone Else Would This Game Too, But The Only Problem Is That Nobody I Know Has Even Heard Of This Game... Exept By Me Though.

Tell Everyone About This Great Game"

The Background Graphics Are Quite Complex & The Additional Feature Like Flowers & Food Are Clearer But More Simple. The Little Characters Are Quite Simple Which Adds To The Cuteness Of The Game! The Game Has Japenese Charm, With The Drawings Of Characters & The Mystical Fish 'kappa'. This Highly Addictive Game Will Have You Caring For Your Cows, Shearing You Sheep & Planning Out You Daily Rota When Your Supposed To Be Asleep-unless Thats Just Me!;o)"

Ryan Will  "This Game Is Excellent. This Continues The Awesome Harvest Moon Series. When The First Harvest Moon Came Out For The Snes Came Out. Me And Two Friends Rented It And Played It Non-stop. The Snes Was On Turned Off Late At Night And Turned Back On Early In The Morning. Thats All We Did For 3 Days Straight Till We Beat It.

And Now Its The Same For The Playstation And N64 Versions. This Game Is A Must Have For All Gamers, Not Matter What Type Of Genre Is Your Favorite.

Harvest Moon Is My Most Favorite Game"

PS2 Review SUMMARY and SCORE
Terrilyn N. Mclaughlin  "This Game Is Probably My Favorite! I'll Say That I Was Extremely Surprised How Endless This Game Is. Farming Is Boring, Right? No Way! There Is Always Something New And Exiting On This Game (e.g Popuri Gives You An Egg, Bees Build A Hive On Your Tree) I Hope You Get This Game If You Don't Already Have It.

I'm Sort Of An "easy" Person Who Doesn't Much Care For Fighting Games, Etc. So I Don't Know About Other People. But My Action-loving Cousin Wouldn't Get Off This Game Very Often!

In Conclusion, I'd Like To Say It's Great! You Should Try At Least Renting It To Try It Out. It's Well Worth It."
