Nintendo DS - Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon —
I have played other Harvest Moon games and liked them. I rented Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon and found out it was even better then the other Harvest Moon games I have played.
For those that have never played Harvest Moon before, you start out on a farm. You have to plant and raise crops. As you go along you can get animals to raise also. Your goal is to earn enough money to expand your farm and woo and get a wife.
The twist to this game is it is set in a fantasy setting. You still have a farm. But instead of getting animals, you can tame monsters in the caves in the area. Some monsters will help you like field hands. Some are like animals... bee monsters give you honey, wooleys give you wool, then theres one that gives you milk (I haven't gotten one so don't know the name). In the caves you can also just kill the monsters. YOu can also mine for ore in the caves and upgrade your farming equipment.
There are several quests you can go on for different women. If you complete a quest, it puts you in good standing to woo and marry the girl associated with that quest (besides that you might get a great item out of the deal also). There are other women that just have to give them special gifts regularly to make them want to marry you. Other Harvest Moon games I had a hard time knowing how the women stood. This game lets you know on a 1-10 scale how close you are to them being ready to be proposed to.
This game is very addicting. Once you start playing it, you'll be playing it every chance you get for hours on end.
