Before you Buy
I bought this game 4 my wife, & this is what she thinks:
The animation isn't like it is on Magical Melody,(prefer cartoon look).
Your maps aren't easy 2 read & you can end up lost if you don't have your players manual.
She prefers magical melody because you get 2 choose where you live & name everything.

Very disappointing
I had played the original Harvest Moon on the SNES & when I saw Havest Moon A Wonderful Life 4 the GCN I jumped at the chance 2 play it again.
For those of you out there who think that HMWL is anything like the original let me quickly dispel that notion right away.
Additions & Subtractions: The game has a few things added, & a few things removed when compared 2 the Original Harvest Moon (SNES)
While some additions are good, I will be focusing on the ones that made the game suck.
Additions:
Cows suck - Cows don't just give you milk like they did in the SNES version. You have 2 get them pregnant...which takes a YEAR (40 days)
Then they will produce Milk 4 one year & dry up..so you have 2 get them pregnant AGAIN.
You also have wash your cow in addition 2 talking & loving it. So you take them outside, get them next 2 the water stall & wash them with your brush. This wouldn't be so bad if you didn't have 2 'push' them from behind 2 get them 2 the stall; which is painfully slow & tedious because of the god-awful controls you are given 2 guide the stupid beast 2 said destination.
Set up Shop: You go into town & set up a shop & you sit there & WAIT 4 people 2 come 2 you & buy your produce. This can take from 10 2 15 minutes of just sitting there WAITING. And you will only get about 2 or 3 customers who never buy in bulk.
Subtractions: Things removed in the GCN version that were present in the SNES
No Crop drop bin: You have a bin 4 only Animal products. Milk, eggs, etc.
But not 4 crops.
No Golden scye: Cutting grass will forever be done as God intended...one square at a time.
All this coupled with many poor menu designs makes this a mediocre game as best.
I can't see how this game would be 4 children. With it's 480 hours of gameplay (that's just how long it takes 4 the game 2 end) any normal child will quickly get bored & move onto something else.
Only if you are a hard core Harvest Moon fan, & a little bit masochistic
