In life in the village has its own advantages and disadvantages. In the merits - a herd of girls of marriageable age, fed on cow's milk doubles and millet porridge with pumpkin. In faults - everything else. At the protagonist Harvest Moon DS is no choice: it anyway went to live in dreary hut next to the cluttered debris field. Lake, plow, scythe, ax and a hammer in your teeth - and forth to work.
The rise of six in the morning - and on the field. Look into the barn, milk the cows, feed the chickens ... And the list goes on: to plant cucumbers, turnips water, harvest strawberry. And you no favors, no automation: watering can be equipped, if necessary, to run to the pond to fetch water. Physical work ennobles before losing consciousness: after three or four hours a hero out of steam and can not work. Then it's time to wander through the village, gossip, buy seeds and tools, to miss a couple of cups at the bar. And the older villagers nod reproachfully: "Vrenna! Why are not you on the field? Your parents would not be proud of you! "Girls notation reading less, especially when they are approached with a bouquet of wild flowers or a necklace with diamonds. Be careful: if you do it too often have to get married.

All this is called "farmer simulator with elements of RPG». Harvest Moon series has more than ten years should be the same formula, gathering innovations. Some new species of plants and animals will add a three-dimensional graphics happy. Alas, the ace up his sleeve for Harvest Moon DS - does not trump. Only issued to the lower screen DS game menu. And the opportunity to clean the stylus feathers from chickens will please only those who have never seen a Nintendogs. Schedule remained at HM: Friends of Mineral Town for GBA three years ago. Even many sprites directly copied from there.
In Harvest Moon DS is all standard for the series lacks. The game just not friendly to new users. For example, on the second day of learning the game had to ask a colleague where to take the ore to improve the watering can. Say, in the stores do not sell. A colleague thought and said, what about the DS does not know, but in the Harvest Moon on the GameCube was a cave, where it could produce. On the DS, is also a cave there. But why a game to me is not a word is not hinted at? Material for house construction (wood or stone) can also produce their own, as well as ore. But still it is permitted to buy for the money. But the ore - no. Why? Finally, near the home of the protagonist is a stall. With hay, and all such other things and no one lives there.But a cow can not fly - you'll first need to build a corral for the animals. Stall, as I explained later, is intended for horses. But they have no one and nowhere at the beginning of the game are not even mentioned! Then why do not confuse me useless structure? Yes, of course, the game can read smart books about housekeeping, but the most vital topics were usually omitted.
As you can see, a respectable farmer of my character did not work - education does not it. But next year will be released on the DS Rune Factory (aka "New Harvest Moon») - an offshoot of the series, where there is a turn-based battles with monsters. It was then that the villagers and understand that without Vrenna them nowhere.
