Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness

Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness Description

In Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness, players find themselves stranded on a deserted island, following a disaster at sea. From there, they must start from nothing to build a new life. By growing their own farm - taking care of their crops and raising animals - players can make a fortune, find the love of their life, get married and start a family. The bright and colourful 3D graphics provide a visual feast, creating a lush idyll where players can experience the excitement and challenges of nurturing an expanding family, business and community. The convenient enhanced stylus control scheme means that even inexperienced farmers can take control and shape their destiny. Players can control their character and perform farming actions such as seeding, digging and watering by pointing the stylus, in combination with +Control Pad and buttons. There is the option of multiplayer action over Nintendo's Wi-Fi Connection, adding the opportunity to check your farm's world ranking and compare it with others from around the globe. On day one, players choose between a male or female character from 10 bachelors and bachelorettes. Joining you is the old timer Tarou, his daughter Felena, and her two kids, Natalie and Eric. The island offers some hints that it may have been inhabited in the past, but it now seems to be deserted. Working with your fellow castaways, your first order of business is to create a farm. As you build up your farm, people move over to the island, opening up shops and facilities, contributing to the island's development. These new residents provide new areas to explore and new people to speak with, creating an endless world of discovery.
