Where's the fun in making a house? I found the game so boring for multiple reasons. It just didn't do it for me. I like Harvest Moon a lot more; maybe except for the fact that you can't play Balloon Fighter on it.
edit: but then, I find harvest Moon extremely addictive while I play it, but then once I stop I never want to pick it up again. I just don't find a reason to. It's not the most challenging game, there's no story, yu just have to figure out how to make the most money; which isn't all that hard. Give me a shooter for a challenge or give me an RPG with an engaging battle system and/or story.
