Game Reviews
Okay so this one is one I won't be updating much often. Here is the home of any game reviews I shall write. I won't be like other people and be only single sided, but will tell of almost all the good and bad things about the game.
Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility
This Harvest Moon, much like is predecessors, has much of the same general goals yet at the same time different. This game is much more in a sense, cute. The characters look very, cute. The game is much like a better, more defined version of Harvest Moon: Magical Melody. Both have different story lines, the cuteness factor is almost identical. Just in Tree of Tranquility the characters actually are "normal" sized in a sense, if you can remember in Magical Melody the characters were "chibi" ("small"). Similarities being that you get to pick were your home is placed and must build most of the properties that you did not start off with like in A Wonderful Life. Also you have the same stamina bar that appeared in Magical Melody, so when you are first start out you will often get angry cause with you can't achieve all the work as quickly as you would like to. You also have a large selection of bachelors and bachelorettes, which is pretty awesome in my opinion.
Some of the down falls of this game is that unlike the other games you must go around talking to everyone to get all the starting tools. Also, if you remember when you played A Wonderful Life or Magical Melody, how when you would running somewhere or doing something the game would just start lagging, well that shows up in this game too. Not as much in some places, but still it there and at some points it will probably start to bug you. If you liked starting off with having your pet puppy, don't look forward to that in this one. In Tree of Tranquility you must first gain the liking of the animal in the wild then it will possibly become your pet over time. Oh and if you want to upgrade your tools at the blacksmith you must not only have the tool, but you must have the ore. Yeah that sounds much the same like in the other games, but it isn't. You see you have to find the ore in the mines and go to the opposite side of the store (where you would get accessories made) and get that ore refined and hope that you get the what you want and not scrap iron. Making it kinda time wasting if you don't have much luck in finding the ore you want. Also you can't separate things once they are in groups together, like say you have 2 pearls and you only wish to ship one, well if they are both in your rucksack, they are stuck together in that grouping forever unless you use one to make an accessory, leaving you with finally with one.
Though it has its down falls the games makes up for this all in the interesting storyline and extensive variety of livestock you may own. There is a hot spring! Which much like in Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town, you may go to when you are low in stamina and get it fully recovered. But remember it only works once a day, so if you go back for a second time that same day don't expect the same results.
That pretty much sums it all up. I personally think that Tree of Tranquility is much more entertaining than the other Harvest Moons, but that is something that one must say for themselves.
