ONM: Harvest Moon: Island Of Happiness Review

ONM writes: "Harvest Moon first arrived in the UK ten years ago and although it has since been usurped by Animal Crossing, this series steadfastly continues to plough the same field. This time, our farming hero (or heroine) is shipwrecked on an island populated by one family but he seems to get over this trauma pretty quickly as, after about five minutes, he's already settled into a life of farming.

Other than some fiddly stylus controls and some Wi-Fi options (you can compare your farm's ranking with other players and chat with your friends) it really is the same old Harvest Moon and naturally it takes ages to get going. It doesn't really need to be this way either. There is no reason why your character should be exhausted after watering nine turnips. Nor should picking up a few weeds take all morning. Moving your character around with the stylus is fine but it becomes annoying when you have to carry out precise actions such as watering a plant or smashing a rock."
