Best In The Harvest Moon Series, hands down.
The Good:
A wonderful life displays some early technology for its time. This is one of the only games where you can actually see progress in your town, new people move in, your house gets bugger and one person goes crazy on cows. You get every dollars worth. This game is a great way to spend a weekend, if all you want to do is get through the first year, excellent game-play for hours of farming fun.
The Bad:
This is the same of all harvest moon games but it is very repetitive. The main character is the same looking person from all the old games, and that needs a new look. The are only 3 brides to choose from and they are not clear at first, don't go looking to please the little girl in the manor or the archeologists assistant. Try the same routine over and over again, thats life and Natsume has converted that style into this game.
