It doesn't sound like much fun but it's actually pretty addicting :P You're living out life on a farm and you have to raise lifestock, grow vegetables, become friends with the villagers, etc for different reasons depending on the game (restoring your grandfathers farm, saving the village, etc). You can also get married, have a kid, upgrade your farm, etc.

My first HM game was Back to Nature (on the ps1) but I've played a lot more since then. So far I've played/own; Back to Nature, HM64, Friends of Mineral Town, Tree of Tranquility, and A Wonderful Life.

Has anyone else played HM? Thoughts?

I remember a few years back there used to be a version for the Gamecube and a version for the PS2, but they both still had the same characters.
Do you know what the difference was between those two?

Hmm the only game I see that was available on the PS2 and Gamecube is A Wonderful Life. I don't think there's too many differences but I've never played the PS2 version. This is what Wikipedia said though:

"The differences, including an increase in brides, choosing the gender of your child and the ability to play forever, make little difference. What does make a difference, though, is the drastic drop in framerate, increase in load times and muddy graphics."

The games do tend to use the same characters/designs in a couple different games though. Like Back to Nature and HM64 have very similar characters, characters from Save the Homeland are in Magical Melody, etc.

Ah, yes. That's what they were titled.
A Wonderful Life. I couldn't remember since the games were created a long time ago. XD
IIRC, the PS2 version was developed a little later than the Gamecube version, and then the game was ported to PS2 with a few addons and adjustments.
My best bet is that the game was originally planned to be a Gamecube exclusive, but the developers decided to take a gamble and and remake it on another console.
Are the HM games somewhat similar to Rune Factory?

If it's one of those time consuming type of games then I probably wouldn't be interested in it.

LOL.

[MENTION=430]Kik[/MENTION]: Ooooooh okay.

Lmao.

I don't usually mind those types of games but if they are too too long then I will get bored and play something else.

Well the beauty of harvest moon is that you can put it down and come back later. I went back to Harvest Moon: Back to Nature after 4 years and continued playing the save I had before.

Brings back memories

Yeah haha. I've had the same file for years now and I always go back and play it every once in awhile. It's probably a good 7-10 years old haha.
