Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A great franchise gets an new and improved installment
Ok, we can all agree that not everyone is a fan of the Harvest Moon series. So with that in mind, if your not a fan of Harvest Moon, then by all means, stay away from this game. But, if you are a fan or have had some mild fun with one of the games avalible in the franchise, then this a definate pick-up.
As a fan of the series myself, I have to recommend this to anyone who owns a Playstation Personal. Though the PSP may not be the best portable system out there, Harvest Moon Boy & Girl will surly make you put down your Nintendo DS for a while.
This is really a game that breaths to be played on the small sony platform, and not just because it's physically on the PSP, but because it was originally released on the Playstation, (named "Harvest Moon: Back To Nature") back in the 64MB (graphics card) days. This might be a problem for veterans of the series but if you haven't played the original, it shouldn't hold any problems.
But this is not just any port to a more updated system, Back To Nature never featured the option to play as a female, so now the series is not just limited to the male crowd.

Harvest Moon: Boy & Girl may not be a truly new experience for the hardcore gamers of the first edition of Sony's Playstation, but it is one of the best installments of the series and should be played as such.

(If you don't own a PSP of your own, then it is highly recommended you try and grab a copy of the previous issue 'Back To Nature', but as of August 28th, 2007 new copies of the game are running up to $70 and $80, so even that may be a distant fantasy. So as a alternative, there is a Gamboy Advanced version labeled 'Friends of Mineral Town' that is easily prised and lots of fun to play.)


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - I like it
I like this game doesn't matter how the graphics look. The graphics are just same ax the game on PS1. Think about it, they sell the Back to Nature just the Boy Version of PS1 on Ebay for 50-70 dollars, and it's used, dude!!! If you buy this, is is brand new, and you have 2 versions on one game. For me, I think it really sucks that I have to pay that much for a freaking old game from Ebay or Amazon Market to complete my collection of HM. I rather go with this one. I think it's really cute, and the graphics are not that bad.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - This is a re-release of an old game!
This is not a new Harvest Moon game, it is a direct port of Harvest Moon: Back to Nature, which was released on the original Playstation years ago. The game had a few problems then, including really horrible and blurry graphics and a really messed up control scheme, and hasn't been improved at all! Do not buy this expecting a new installment in the series. I can't believe that NOTHING was done to make this a better game except a cute new package. Essentially, an old game that hasn't aged well.

If you want a new Harvest Moon game, get Innocent Life or one of the more recent console versions.
