I dislike how slow the game can be, mostly because I have a life outside of my wii and so I can't get as far as I would like. The huge lack of shipping boxes compared to ToT is kind of annoying too, especially in the beginning where between hauling quest-related items and actually trying to collect things for money, your rucksack will get filled. Some of the characters - most notably Gill for me - have changed slightly. With Gill, it's for the worse, he seems less like a driven mayor-to-be and more like a spoiled boy who sits around reading all day. However, others have changed for the better, like Chase and Luna. The plot is more character-driven as well. It doesn't feel like you're the only one who actually cares about the island like it sometimes did in ToT when you were doing the rainbows.
The additional features, which I've mostly heard about from my brother (who doesn't have as much of a life as I do, so he's further,) sound pretty fun and interesting. Riding any four-legged animal (and the Ostrich) gives all your livestock another use. The way the character sits on the cow looks a little uncomfortable, but I can't really think of how it wouldn't be.
The crops are bought as single seeds again, which gives you more usage of the entire field. It'd take two hours just to water a whole field but hey if you want to now you actually can without wasting any seeds.
Overall, I adore the game. I just wish it was a little faster. Expect to put a lot of time into it, especially during the first two or three seasons, if you plan to get anywhere. If it was handheld, it might be a little better, because I'd be able to put a little more time into it between classes or on my break. But since it's a Wii game, I have to take it from 5 stars to 4 for the pace.Get more detail about Harvest Moon: Animal Parade.
