Amazon.com Product Description: Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland takes the Harvest Moon series in a new direction by offering a deeper and more robust role-playing experience than past titles. It might be best described as a life simulation. The object is to successfully save the village from turning into a resort. Construction begins in a year, so you must find a way to rescue your homeland within that time frame. Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland will offer nine unique ways in which to complete your task, and focuses more attention on relationships over profit. Befriending the people in town is the key to successfully completing your task. This is the first Harvest Moon title to be in a true 3-D environment. It looks much more realistic without losing the cute animation style for which the series is known.
There are 20 new characters--each with his or her own unique personality--richly detailed 3-D environments, and enhanced interaction with animals, including dog training and horse racing. Other compelling details include the ability to collect and cook recipes, real-time character movement, and the capacity to obtain helpful objects by doing part-time jobs.

Natsume busts out with this Harvest Moon game for the PS2, but it was a bit of a disappointment. It was very fun yes, but you never get married in it, and you only have one year to beat the game. It has many different endings and a huge environment. Must have for any Harvest Moon gamers.
Rating: - a poop in harvest moon
i first got into harvest moon when looking any vampire snes games for my emulator and saw the title harvest moon, now in vampire mind met i thought something compleatly differnt. it turned out to be one of the dumest games i ever played but chould not stop. it became a lot of fun for me. the back to natuer added 1000% more fun, more real, able to make sprites do slave work, and the girls to woo are interasting. and then the 2 after save the home land, wonderfull life as i much prefer the ps 2 version added realism to it very compleax, and magical melody is just pure fun. out of all 5 this is the only one i refuse to own and i will tell you why
1. only have a year to save the stupied town.
2. have to repeat the same year over and over again to unlock every thing.
3. cant really wu the girls
4. no point to farm actualy farming is almost pointless in the game except for extra money, you can actualy just get by with chickens.
the title explains it you save the home land, or it will turn into a theam park and you lose. you have 1 year to get one of the 15 endings it is not that hard just do what you do to wu a girl in the others and you already unlocked a few endings already. the only thing i think was a interasting featuer is sell your goods to the stores your self instead of dumping into a bin and get paied the next day. just get rid of the middle guy and deliver it your self.. something that could have stayed in the futer games. other then that it is a compleat dump out of the harvestmoon games, maybe if i was not expecting more out of it and it was titled something else that was not harvst moon it would have been better for me..
but it is not a compleat wast just a dissapointment there are a few good things
1. some of the endings are nice and does have a good story plot
2. when u start the year over again all ur updates, crops, money, and enhancements stay so if u had the best watering can well you keep it all 15 times u start over again...but downside people do not know you so you have to reintroduce your self again and again and again.. gets anoying cause of no skip
Rating: - It's a good game... really
It's fun. It's relaxing. Several different endings. Interesting. Good game for those who like good games.
Rating: - Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland
Graphic fair.. Game good..Interaction between charaters good. Interesting adventures and the mulitple endings is a challengen. Major issue controlers inteaction with game. Difficult to get cows to move directionally, also to get direction right in watering crops.Dark when rainy and somewhat difficult to see..To short of a day and hard to get everything accomplished in the time frame. Overall a nice game..
Rating: - well what can i say?
once again ps2 has fallin short of its once knowen glory...
this game is slow going, in the fact there isnt much too do if at all.. the chickens die for no good reason , you cant cook too save your life!
you work a part time just for pennys! was this a real life story of some poor farmer?? i dont get what much of the idems are used for?? and too think i loved harvest moon on gamecube, gamecube is way cooler and most fun when it comes too this game title! so be warned of that now. dont let another 30.oo slip threw your hands the way it did mine :((
