Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Frustrating!
I love Harvest Moon games. In fact, I bought a PSP just so that I can play this game. IL has many new and fun aspects to it, but it feels like it was made for kids below 7. It's waaaay too easy. You'll propably finish most of the quests before the end of the second spring and then sit and twiddle your fingers in total boredom. You'll also have millions in your account but nothing to spend your money on.

The good side: New story idea - set in the future - exploration - strange fungi is a super idea - lots of stuff to gather - flexible menu system.
The bad side: I hated the useless dog and couldn't get rid of it - the animals were a pain so I got rid of them - the game's not challenging/ I mostly went to bed at 8:00 AM to skip the boring days - the stupid bell that rings five times a day and freezes your screen - getting items out of the storage box and seed box can be frustrating - mining is a pain, since your screen freezes for several seconds everytime you find something to give you a lengthy explanation (repeated hundreds of times!)

The bottom line is: It can be entertaining for a short time, but don't expect too much from it.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - best harvest moon yet?
it's hard to say if this is the best one yet, because many of us still love the classical farm scenario that Harvest Moon series is best known. Innocent Life still provides that and MUCH MORE. First, it is set in the future! That means a lot more awesome tools are available to you. There are many more events, characters, tools and options. In addition, you get a whimsical "sidekick" robot, which can relieve you from the sometimes tedious farm work, such as endless watering. You even get a sense of mass-production having such a robot. As you can see from the cover, you even get a "buggy" car! That tells you how large this map gets compare to the old ones. Yes, there is really a world to explore in this one. Now that "explore" seems to me a brand new option to the series. You can now travel in caves, on desert, and by river. Honestly, I really enjoyed discovering some of the funky pieces that certain artistic character creates all over the map. What is better? The farm boy you play has quite a few secrets to be unlocked too. I would say this is the best Harvest Moon yet, over all.
