Great game, nice graphics, soothing music, cool controls.
I took about an hour to explore the whole Mineral Town, get the controls right and stuff like that. Ok, here's the story: You take over this farm and are expected to make it something big. Everyday you put your produce or findings into your *wooden bin* and this guy with a wierd moustage just comes at 5pm to collect the stuff and give u your money. So you earn money like this. No more Spoilers from here.
So, what makes this game so good... Well the graphics are fine 3-D, they seem real enough (almost on par with Pokemon Emerald, maybe better) and the sounds, ok some people think its childish but it quite fits the game, right? the gameplay... controls sometimes get kinda messy when you are trying to switch your items with those in your bag and you accidentally feed your character that bottle of honey worth 50 bucks. I guess you could buy it, it could be your first step to this series. Maybe you'll get addicted and even get a copy of the PS2 counterpart, which I forgot the name of.
Overall, great game.
