Very good game
Gameplay: The gameplay is very well, varied.... there are alot of things to do such as take care of your animals which include, Cows, Sheep, Ducks, Chickens, your dog, your horse, and some others you can get as the game goes. This includes feeding and washing and just paying attention to them. You are rewarded for this by the product they produce for you. You also grow crops which isnt rewarding until your skilled at it but you can feed yourself this way while living off your animals. Then you can also go into town and meet the folk and eventually find the girl of your dreams and marry her. I wont give anything else away.
Graphics: I thought the graphics were very good. I got a good sense of the environment even though up close things looked pixelated. If you take in the entire picture than you get a good overall feeling. I loved how the sky looked in the morning and at sunset. It was very amazing to see how the seasons varied and how thing progresssively change over time. Everything looked good together. Colorful and vibrant.
Sound: It was ok. It suited the cutsie gameplay with its generic sounds. I thought the animal noises were somewhat loud and got annoying at times but the sound isnt bad at all. OK to say the least.
Overall an amazing game that I will spend the majority of my summer playing.
