For those who have never played a Harvest Moon game, the main storyline and goal of the game is that your main character gains a farm and must clean it up, grow crops, earn money, and socialize with the townsfolk. You also have the ability (in many of them) to woo and marry the spouse of your dreams and have a kid as well. Previous versions of the U.S. versions of these games have been known to make the main character male, allowing you to marry 1 of 5 potential women in the game. Doesn't sound bad, unless you want to marry a guy. Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town makes the main character female - giving players that chance to woo and marry 1 of 5 potential men (with rumors of some secret possible ones). The potential men are the ones who were your rivals in the first GBA game: Cliff; Doctor; Doug; Kai; and Rick. The rumor is that you can also marry: Gourmet; Kappa; and Won (in a similar manner as you could marry the Harvest Goddess in the first GBA game). Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town also plays like the original GBA game of Friends of Mineral Town. Unfortunately, a little too much like the first version as cut scenes that affected your relationship with the girlfiends are also in More Friends of Mineral Town - making you to remember which version you are playing. In fact the original GBA version had two Thanksgiving Festivals. One in Spring, the other in Winter. The Spring one had the male charater give homemade cookies to the girls of interest and the Winter Festival had the girls (with required affection level) give your character chocolate. At least in More Friends of Mineral Town your female character gets to wait until Winter to give their gifts of chocolate to any of the guys they desire - which also means that unless you make real good friends with one of the potential men real soon you won't be receiving any cookies in the Spring. There is now a new feature that allows you to sell things to Won (the seller who stays with Zack). This is especially handy since he will buy things that you can't sell to Zack (such as flowers and Golden Lumber). You have to make friends with him first. I managed to unlock it after giving 3 gifts of Pirate's Treasure (one of which was wrapped). You can also store the fish you have gotten from the rivers, lakes, and ocean in the pond on your farm...but I don't think they will reproduce as they could in the Playstation version. Aside from the above new things, the opening storyline is different as you see an ad for the farm and decide to quite your job, move out of your apartment, and move to the country. Not to mention the fact that the Mayor laughs at you for believing the 'sweet talk' wording of the ad for the farm. The other versions have it that you had visited the place when you were a kid and met a new friend that lived there. In this version, EVERYONE is a stranger to you. Whether you are new to the Harvest Moon line or a long time fan, this is still a game to get. It is non-violent, easy to play, and you can save the game's progress just about anyway...making it a great game to play when on the go.
