I am an avid fan of the Harvest Moon series, and decided it was time to start a new game. After reading reviews about Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness and how players are severely restricted to using touch screen / stylus capabilities, I went with this game. The graphics are much improved from the last DS game I played from HM which was Harvest Moon DS. I like the music, graphics, story plot, and the slightly more difficult level of overall gameplay. It's a little more challenging than the previous game (ie. can't give gifts if you don't have enough friend pts). I love that Harvest Moon is a franchise that seems to just continually get better and better with each new game. I would highly recommend this game to anyone who loves a game with cute graphics and mildly challenging story plot.
The game runs very smoothly, so it's nice to know that you are paying for what you get.

For Harvest Moon fans!!! I already had Grand Bazaar, but in GB, it was missing some of my favorite things from the old HM (like mining, the harvest goddess, rival marriages, and especially those sprites!). So I went back and looked up some older games. If you're stuck deciding between Sunshine Islands and Islands of Happiness, PICK SUNSHINE ISLANDS! It's the newer of the two, and has a few more marriage candidates than IoH. The concept of quality has carried over. Though I don't particularly like how it takes up more space in the rugsack, it does provide a new challenge for HM fans. Also, unlocking all the islands gives SI more of a purpose and goal in my opinion. There are also known issues with both games. The most devastating one that's been known to happen (though rarely) is the game freezing after you save, causing your whole file to be erased. This has not happened to me yet, but I honestly don't expect it to occur since there is such a low percentage. DON'T FORGET. NATSUME IS MAKING A NEW HM GAME FOR THE 3DS, "TALE OF TWO TOWNS."Read full review
thanks so much!
