Game Play: I continued playing harvest moon for several more hours. The game play has been about the same. My farm is just becoming more developed. The game seems like it should be getting boring and I would not want to continue but for some reason I want to keep playing. I think the reason I enjoy the game is because I strive to have a very productive and awesome farm.

One thing I really like in the game is the horse and dog race. I enjoy taking care of my dog and horse so that they will win the races. This game may sound really lame but it entertained me for hours and I look forward to playing more.


Game Design: I liked some of the designs of the game. The graphics weren’t good but I don’t really care. I thought the cartoony graphics were cute. I usually like games with animeish cartoony graphics. I also really like the way the animals look. They are absolutely adorable. I thought the controls were good. The game word is incredibly small, and I did not like the fact I can’t ride the horse out of the farm.

One thing I absolutely hated about the game was the sound and the music. The music is annoying to begin with and when it plays the same music non-stop for several hours it drives me crazy. Also I did not like the beeping sound it makes when a person is talking. When a person talks there is a dialog box at the bottom of the page and for every letter that appears on the screen it makes a beeping noise. So when a person talks there is a massive amount of beeping. Just after an hour or two of playing I decided to turn off the sound because it was so annoying.

Well done gamelog. Good luck on your project.
