Customer Reviews

A fun and relaxing game This is truly one of those fun and relaxing games that's great to play after a hard day of work. :-) The game play is fairly straight forward, as you're given a wide variety of farming missions to complete, ranging from cultivating different crops to raising live stock. However, the game play is entertaining, as you will frequently encounter many dynamic issues that can ruin your ability to make money, such as unpredictable pests infestations (that rapidly eat up your crops), to poachers snipping off your farm animals, and out-of-state, hillbilly family that decides to "show up" one day and move in with your family... Of course, they always want free room-and-board, but best of all, you can always make them work! In this game, there's a constantly changing free market that affects how much money that you can make from selling particular crops and animal products. Of course, there's always some radical diet trend that can greatly enhance or upset the crop or animal product prices. You'll soon become familiar with the outspoken Bridget (Hollywood star) that constantly promotes a vegetarian diet --she has a bad habit of showing up just when the price of beef gets to the point that you're about to become a luxurious, wealthy millionaire! Instead, you'll find that the price of beef is now suddenly so low, that you'll have to almost take out a loan from the bank, just so that you can make payroll for your employees -- until the beef market can recover from her "statements." ;-) The game technically is in 3D, but since the camera movement is limited, it's more like a 2D game (set at a 45 degree angle). The game works glassy smooth on my system, which is a MacBook Pro (4 GB of RAM), running Windows XP (via Apple Bootcamp). In Summary: I have thoroughly enjoyed this game and for it's price, I would certainly recommend it for kids and adults alike. It's good, clean, family fun! NOT what I expected I was expecting something like John Deere Drive Green. This game is little tiny tractors and implements that you really don't drive. You just direct the tractor/implement to the farm and watch it do it's thing. Very boring, not at all what I expected from the description. I wasted my money on this one. The seller, however, did a good job getting the product out to me - just in time for Christmas. Too bad the game sucked.... Fun for passing time - game play could be smoother I enjoy this game - especially for the price! There are some gameplay things that could be improved - zooming out further, not having the camera jump around when you select your employees, etc. But it's fun to 'play farmer' with if that's what you are out to do.
