Harvest Moon DS....

My friend and I haven't played Harvest moon since a wonderful life, which we LOVED, we picked up Rune Factory, but we didn't really likethe fighting elements in the game... so we were wondering

is Harvest Moon DS any good, and do you think we should get Magical Melody for GC?

I mean, which one would you prefer.

Well, i think HM is a classic. I'm very far in the game and think it is extremley good. Worth the money.
