I was a little worried about this game. I haven't played the first Rune Factory and was not overly amused with Harvest Moon's tediousness of having to farm. However, the extra fighting keeps the game interesting. There is still farming you have to do and goals to make people happy. The new requests almost everyday mixed with fighting and monster taming makes this game interesting for me.
Cons:
Only Male Main... as a female gamer it is disappointing to see that it is a sister game to Harvest Moon but limits you to a male main character.
Slow Start... the beginning doesn't tell you how to do anything or where to find tools and neither does the book so you may find yourself running around for hours not sure what to do like I did.
Pros:
Addicting... this game easily keeps me wanting to play more and is very hard to put down to do other tasks.
Additional Play... this game offers more things once you reach the second generation such as cooking, pharmacy, and creating accessories. You also get to play as a son or daughter allowing for the female main character to play a role in the game.
Fighting and Taming... the addition of fighting monsters for items or choosing to keep them as your friend to help you out gives the game a more RPG feel to the game.
I am very happy that I decided to purchase this game on a whim. Originally purchased because of the sheep shown on the cover (I have a love for sheep XD) it has proven to be well worth the investment. I have logged 2 weeks into the game and will continue to play this game for a long time yet seeing as I haven't managed to get to second generation yet! <3 I am just glad Walmart offered the Site to Store option! Without this option I would have never bothered purchasing this wonderful game.
