The art style, true to the series, is wonderful, with some of the most beautiful scenery ever seen in a game of Harvest Moon. Mountain roads in particular a green ground, sloping shelves that to explore zigzag with scalable, slides, cable cars and many levels of hiking trails. The character models are simple but well with the configuration and profile drawings in 2D are sharp, colorful and very pleasing to the eye, with the exception of a ... Blue Bell café interesting.

Some useful new features that come into play in this game calendar now shows birthdays of several signs that it is much easier to keep an eye on the time to keep things in order to take the villagers.

The carrying case is also now the correct price of an item you want before the sale, so you know how much money do not sell tomorrow.

Now you can go by other signs and cattle, which now possibly be a big deal, but anyone who was nailed to the wall by a bunch of chickens to try to ensure that everyone is fed and cajoled every day to see the advantage of such a small change. Wild animals can be friends, as usual, animals, and now play a larger role than before, with dogs and cats to farm animals to help by rounding up and feed them during the day. The new company owl can fly faster between cities, the travel time. New animals, which can occur are alpacas and bees, the latter allowing you to build huts, to meet with several different levels of harvesting honey.

There are some disadvantages. For the period of two cities and mountains between the game world seems quite low, with fewer places to explore than previous entries in the series. There is a small gap, but very much in the frame rate at times, and for some reason back in the old economic order, which can save the game once a day, how do you go to bed. The last track to keep you all day, but in two cities, if you suddenly turn your 3DS, you lose all progress since the last time you woke up.

In addition, there are only two kennels in the game, one in each city. It made sense to lay eggs, milk and other products into a shipping crate in the barn, but you must now load the package and painfully limited space in the city to sell their stuff. Once the elements are deposited in the box and the lid is closed, the image mysteriously empty field, so that you can recover no option to have doubts and before tomorrow.

Although not exactly the problems in game design, the more work you have to enable, manage, and most of these problems have been in previous titles, such as fixed as the tree of silence. It feels a slight step back.

The 3D depth is very easy to use, with varying results.

Profilesof the characters, dialogue boxes and menus to skip to the fore, and it works great. Most times the depth works well in the field and trees rising above the buildings and characters that are out of the ground. However, the effect here is a bit buggy and sometimes there are people who swim or sink as seen in shallow graves on the land is his. It places particular confusing when the farmer takes a mistake, and it remains high, sometimes the head more than the error itself is set to have the appearance of locusts tunnel into the skull. Ultimately, however, subtle improvements add to the game and the game looks better with 3D enabled.

Compared to the original DS, this game is almost identical, but there are some notable additions to the version of 3ds. Of course, the game has been improved, make the use of higher resolution and larger screen on the top. There is a new game called mini-petting time, so you can keep their cattle and raise standards of friendship quickly. Finally, the activated version of 3ds Street Pass, allowing you to items with people who happen to act.

It's just a nitpick, but the film version of the introduction of the 3DS is in the original DS, which may be a problem unless it's a great close-ups of milk bottles with the word would be against "milk" backwards through this spelling , wherein the camera has a good 5 seconds. Strange oversight on the part of developers.

Unfortunately, there is also an occasional bug seems to appear that the blocks game in 3DS version, but with the amount of time the game is rare accidents saved, there is a big disadvantage, and other features that make the 3D Harvest Moon get best of both versions.

Finally, the game is cute and fun, with lots to do and see, even if you feel like a bit of experience washing miniature Harvest Moon. The story is interesting and the new scenario Konohana offers a very special feeling for family activities. While 3D can sometimes be a bit weird, some of the most beautiful art has ever seen. It is clear that the series is even stronger than ever before, and I hope the next entry.
