The developers have come up with seemingly every standard farm animal imaginable, so now you can also keep silkworms and an ostrich, the former valuable for its silk and the latter just for transport. There are new animals over previous entries too. They’re not amazing but they are a welcome break from the farming slog, and as they only appear at events they’re infrequent enough not to become a pain.
Irritatingly, not all minigames actually use the Nunchuk – the first bug-catching game is a simple point-and-swipe affair for Remote only, for example – but at least the games are all straightforward enough to convince others to play with you in the multiplayer Party Mode. There’s still a range of festivals, each of which comes with a minigame to beat that all vary in quality, and you’ll need to replace your Classic Controller with a Nunchuk to play them. There are other few additions to the standard HM fare too: if you’re stuck for money you can work part-time at one of the local shops or farms, a simple matter of turning up and saying “I want to work part-time”, making it easier to boost your finances at first. Once you do get your farm you can choose its location in one of three plots, although later you can buy up the remaining plots to grow more crops. Even by Harvest Moon standards it’s a boring start, and even after you gain your farm you’re still missing many of the necessary tools and the funds to pay for seeds.
On the plus side, playing this game wets your appetite for more which the next installment, Harvest Moon: Animal Parade, delivers.Life on Waffle Island is slow at first, as is par for the course, but Tree of Tranquility slows things to a snail’s pace by not even giving you a farm for the first few hours, asking you to work on neighbouring Soufflé farm to learn the basics of picking weeds, watering plants and harvesting crops. It is a fun game e ven though it so easy, especially if you have played other Harvest Moon titles, you will fly through this game in 1-2 days. I enjoyed the newly added characters, expanded world, and multi-places to fish. It's something of a nightmare where cursors are attacking the target from all angles and your cursor gets lost in the mix.
I found the mini games almost impossible to beat against a screen full of AI characters with eradic impulses.
Compared to other games in the series this one falls short in that it isn't as much fun to replay. My one complaint is that it is too easy to make money and once all the main items have been purchased, continuning to play grows monotonous. The tasks are simplistic with some newly added features to gameplay such as a wardrobe with outfits to purchase based on season, mini games, and a greater range of characters to marry. The overall graphics are gameplay are good. There are lot of crops to grow, a variety of animals to care for, tons of festivals to participate in, and an exciting story. When the giant Mother Tree is reborn, the Harvest Goddess will be able to return and bring prosperity to the island once aga in.Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility is filled with exciting features that are sure to delight both new players and longtime Harvest Moon fans. Till the earth, befriend and raise animals, nurture friendships, and build a family. The island has lost its connection with nature and the inhabitants don't know what to do. The mystical Mother Tree that once watched over the island has disappeared, and the Harvest Goddess is nowhere to be found. But now, however, the island is in trouble and it's up to you to save it. You have moved to an island town that was once brimming with life and energy. Its very similar to a sims game but takes place on a farm with a lot of loveable characters. At times it can fel repetetive but you get over that pretty quick. I think that harvest moon is a very unique and fun game to play.
