Summary: Magical
Comment: Magical Melody's graphics are much differnt then Another Wonderful Life's graphics. In Magical Melody the graphics are Chibi like. Aka fat and cute! It's pretty fun though. Play as a boy or girl! Yay! Of course the dog is free. You have to pay for a horse but you can have more than one. ONly one color though. There are a bunch of wild animals (including a white cat). If you see a wild animal, pick it up and it will like you better. Feed it too! If you give a dolphin fish everyday, you will be able to ride it!!!!!

Summary: Hard!!!
Comment: When I bought the Harvest moon magical melody I was really excited. But after playing it for about 10 min. I got frustraited and traded it in. For this game was a huge let down compared to Wonderful Life harvest moon. For the controls were harder and I kept getting lost.

Summary: The farming life, perfected.
Comment: Having played every Harvest Moon title ever ported to the NA region, I can safely say that Harvest Moon : Magical Melody is the best one released to date. It combines a strong legacy of nostalgia from the earlier games (most notably the very first Harvest Moon, released for the SNES) with many favorite characters and features from newer games in the series.
The feature I find the most appealing is the ability to choose between a boy or girl character at the beginning of the game. The music is catchy and engaging. The graphics, a kiddy-sweeet super deformed anime style which is endearing. The minimal vocals of the characters are almost all heartwarming, with very few exceptions.
The only mildly questionable content is a reference to alcohol, which was changed from "Sake" in Japanese to "Soda" in English. Also there is the option of getting married and having a child in the game, a favorite feature of Harvest Moon games, but which some parents might object to.
The weak points of this game aren't many. I find that the story isn't all that wonderful, but it is accomplishment driven and it ties in very well with the activities provided in the game. There is some slowdown when there are too many animals and people loaded in any given area also, which some may find annoying.
With tons of things to do, people to befriend, and up to 21 marriageable spouses, this is a game that is well worth the price tag.

Summary: okay
Comment: I just start playing it. It's alittle more complicated than the other Harvest moons. One thing I dont like: At first you can store more than 5 things in your rucksack. You dont have the option to move the camera angle around to see where your going. You will get lost quick. You see when you play it. I will continue to play... Also you have a tired meter and you can revive youself by eating or sleeping. If you do too much and food is not around you will faint and end up in the docs offices. It;s fun once you know what your doing.

Summary: Simply awesome. =)
Comment: Extremely addicting, and always gives me something to do. Some people may not love the cartoony layout, but I do and so do tons of other people. Its just so cute! I wouldn't recommend this for people with a short fuse. What I mean is that it can get frustrating, but if you're patient and you LOVE HM, this is totally the game for you. I also wouldn't recommend this for anybody who likes realistic graphics. The game has a realistic setting, but it just looks like a cartoon. Thats what I love most about it. =3
You have 21 overall marriage options, about 10 for each gender. I'm not completely sure. Best of all, you get a child! And unlike AWI, you can choose to be a girl or boy. You don't have to buy separate games.
Overall, this game is just awesome, and I recommend it for any HM lovers new and old. =3
