Not wholly accurate...


Harvest Moon. A series I've not played a version of since the venture on the GBA. Wanting to rekindle my fondness for the series, I bought the new version on the DS (When I say new, 2008, I'm a little behind on the DS market).

One thing that struck me was, that for a Farming Simulator, you are *SO* rushed off your feet. There's hardly enough time in the day to tie your shoe laces up, let alone plant a field full of turnips, talk to and give gifts to everyone in town, and then whatever else you want to get on with. Time passes so very quickly, and i'd forgotten this. Very disorienting.

Apart from that, great fun. The main complaint is about the stylus controls, but to be honest, they're nowhere near as bad as everyone makes out. If you've played Phantom Hourglass, it'll feel like a slightly less fluid version of that...don't see what all the upset is about
