: Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life Special Edition Review.

Several useful and Nice, but ...
After looking at screenshots and revious wonderful for the same game in the Gamecube I was excited that his company Marvelous Interactive has released a version of the PS2 in Japan, and would be imported into the United States.
Unfortunately, because of some misclaculation programmer at some point the American version is less than dazzled players in contrast to his counterpart for the original Japanese PS2.
The disadvantages:
1-The main character moves like you play too slowly, and then the buttons some of his actions if it maintains the animals, giving presents to other charcter, talk, harvesting, etc.
All other characters are moving too slowly, like a slow motion sports replay.When Run / Walk, he tends to slow down below the soil surface, and if it is uphill or downhill, this realism, but deals are still too slow.
2-charging time from 5 to almost 15 full seconds each time entering or leaving a building, or check the contents of his backpack. The TV goes off and a small "Now Loading" appears in the lower right screeen. This is very annoying, because the GameCube version (which I also do not own) so.
3 except for the scenario for all outdoor environments, the magnifying glass to grainy, the colors are pale (fits your TV) and without datail much about them. Once again I must compare the original PS2 version in Japan and the GameCube, where the graphics are beautiful, and I have to wonder what happened?
Pros:
1-A portion of the farm work the character must marry, raise a child, and friends and archaeological discoveries.A is a new bride, not as in the Gamecube. The possibility of a daughther instead of a boy to. Sprites in the house and talk to the bowl visit many many many times (press the X button) until it gives you a child sex tourism, you choose. New events include a series of scenes with the new wife and his son would have with her.
2-The main character changes his clothes (it's a color change, the same dress, but a welcome change) according to the seasons (autumn, winter, spring, summer), and his wife.
During the first three-game, you can achieve better profits. The color of your horse can be white, beige, sand or even a dark brown (almost black).
4-It is a simulation of life and not just a simulation of agriculture. The main character is to make as the ups and downs of working and new friendships and the growth of a child.Eventually is growing all the characters age as the child and makes a life of its staff played down. There is also a (spoiler warning in advance)
Scene of death, dying, but as soon as the "life" is completed you can with all the goodies from the farm, you have gathered to restart.
For players to save the country, which is not Gamecube, I recommend this game like Harvest Moon will be quite the gaming experience, and other Save the premise homeland. One outdoor accustomed grainy and slow loading.
Rent first ...
All three games for the Playstation / 2, and this is my favorite. I do not even notice the blur images or anything. The music is pretty cool, and you can find and buy more records to change. The character moves very slowly, but after a while you get to use it. And if you exclude a horse, the problem is basic.
If you only have a PS2 and never played A Wonderful Life / Another Wonderful Life for the cube of the game, you'll love this game.
If you have a Game Cube and have played one of those games, you may not like this game so much.
You need only four theaters, one in each season are that every 10 days. But the days are very long, not to not have enough time to do all worried.
This game is very exciting to see how I played that all weekend and are in Chapter 2 Children are adorable and piles of joy. You can cuddle, pet, talk, and throw / catch. Your wife is a bit of help, "and leaves the house.
You can do several things to influence your child's future and interests.
There are many animals to choose from, including ducks, you can also different colored horses. You can also choose whether you want a son or a daughter, talking to the pot in place sprites until you win, say, then, to speak the harvest sprites and selected. You can also marry Lumina hours.
And it is by far my favorite game full moon.
I would say you should rent first, and decide whether this is for you.
Slow on PS2 - but you get used to it
I played this game for the first time on my Gamecube roommate. I was a bit "skeptical when told me how the game was impressive, as it seemed very boring for me. However, he left the apartment for the day, and I stuck to watch the game, what was all the excitement. The next what I knew I had played the game for four hours. I was thrilled to learn they have a version for the PS2, and I took it immediately.
Know if you are not directly from the Gamecube version for the PS2 switch, it will be a bit "shocking. The PS2 version was definitely a rush job. Loading times are ridiculous, and the graphics so fresh and clean. I was initially disappointed but eventually you get in a groove.
Hardly notice any more. For those who have never played, Harvest Moon, and only have a PS2, I recommend shooting. It is a very special game, almost relaxing, and is strangely compelling. For those that have Gamecube, do not worry.
But all PS2 users, you can not deter the negative reviews. I agree that its shit compared to the Gamecube version, but if you've never played a better Harvest Moon game before, you are in for a treat. Slow Harvest Moon Harvest Moon is better than none. Believe me. I know.
