Harvest Moon: Frantic Farming a sequel to lackluster Puzzle de Harvest Moon

Who here remembers Puzzle de Harvest Moon? I do – mainly because I had to review it. It received a 1/10. The dislike was fairly universal, as IGN gave it a 3.5 and GameSpot gave it a 4.0.

When rumors of Harvest Moon: Frantic Farming first surfaced, I, like much of the internet, hoped it was related to the DS game Bokujou Monogatari: Kira Kira Taiyou to Nakama Tachi, a slightly updated version of Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness. But now, that dream is gone.

Well, at least it’s mildly related to Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness (which was an amazing game by the way), 12 characters from that game star in Harvest Moon: Frantic Farming.

In Natsume’s defense, it does seem like the company has realized its folly with Puzzle de Harvest Moon…
