...I know, we have had loads of HM topics but this one is for UNITEDLEGENDS so that he knows what I think about the game.
I've had the game for a week now and I must admit that i've been slightly put off because of all the people telling me how slow, crap and repetitive it is.
I tried to ignore it but once somebody has told you how bad it is, you start to see the bad parts about it. Here are the things that dissapointed me most about HM :
1) Everything seems to go very slow (eg. When opening doors, pressing start etc).
2) Your Farm isn't very big and I expected alot more places to go.
3) The Dialog must have been rushed because it is awful.
4) You basically control your farm for a year until something BIG happens, and not even that is very BIG. Some people get older, one person dies and a few more little things happen.
When Im not thinking about the bad things about HM i'm enjoying the good ones, and here they are :
1) There quite alot of growing to do which keeps you occupied.
2) Breeding cows, chickens, sheep, bulls and ducks is very fun and interesting IMO.
3) It's about Farming which sounds boring but it really suprises you when you realise how much fun things you can do.
4) Its fun choosing a wife, raising kids, making friends, finding good fishing spots, selling your items, digging for fossils, ores etc.
Its the best Gamecube game I have at the moment, I've started to play it less and less because last week I played it too much and its put me off a bit. I only play it for about 1 hour a day, and I think you should do the same - Otherwise you'll get bored with it quickly.
Right, now two questions for you :
1) Will the Harvest Moon game on the PS2 be like 'A Wonderful Life' or will it be different?
2) Can you tell me what you think overall about the game?
Cheers.

Well I've already decided on what I'm going to do. I'm not selling the GC, not just because of Harvest Moon though, I want Resi 4 so I'm gonna have to keep the old Cube after all.
I dont...but I did...and I know alot about the games coming out for it even though I haven't got one, I dont know why but I often post in the PS2 forums about the games when I haven't even got a PS2!
There are about 3 games i'm looking forward to...there are more but they are Multi-format so i'll be getting them on the Xbox instead.
EDIT : I've said this loads of times - I dont think the PS2 is crap, it just doesn't have as many games IM looking forward to whereas the Xbox and Cube have quite a few.

Do you actually own a PS2? I doubt it somehow because anyone who does would know about all the great games there are coming out for it.

I can bet you that when GTA San Andreas has been forgotten, alot of PS2s will be sold.
Its the only game thats making people keep their PS2.

I WAS considering selling my cube, but i left it in a cupboard until Mario Kart Double Dash came out, that got the dust off. Also now i have just ordered Harvest moon (should arrive tommorow or Thursday) which is making the cube a really popular console for me, also i am going to get Mario tennis, so the cube is really getting a hold on my gaming timetable atr the moment. Now i think that i am going to leave my PS2 in the cupboard until San Andreas arrives on the scene and then i'll see whats next :D
Okay...
I hope no body buys it from you.

I'll let you know how things go on Friday though, I may sell, I may not. I'm a pretty confused gamer at the moment.

Don't get me wrong, I still think the GC is a fine console, but when it comes down to it I only want one console now, and the PS2 suits me best.

Basically, the PS2 version will be out first. I tried both PS2 and X-Box versions of the previous games, and I prefered the PS2 versions.
And I'm also selling my X-Box, it's in the local papers for £150, with 8 games.
