How would you rate the experiance on playing HMDS:cute?

[VampireKnight]

Well?... everyone loves to see ratings..
1 being the worst and 5 being the best

I've give it a 5 since I love Harvest Moon games...except the one for PS2, A Wonderful Life, that one stunk but the DS ones are really fun and I can hardly put it down once I start!

Wasn't good, but it wasn't horrible....

I gave it a 4/5. It's good, I like it a lot, but I feel like the developers could have gone a little further with the game itself. I understand that the game is pretty much just like HMDS but without so many glitches, however I wish they would have made it a tad different. Perhaps keep the same basic storyline [though they did change it up a bit and made it shorter], but change some other aspects to make it not feel so much like HMDS.

It's okay. The artwork is good--I recognize that even though I HATE cute things. The town and townspeople are a little complex, which in itself is both more confusing and more realistic, so points for and against there. It is consistent in its cuteness, and I guess it should get extra points for that.

As for the interface... The only games I have to compare them to (on DS) are Rune Factory and The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. Compared to RF, the interface was better, but compared to Zelda, it's like playing on a spider's web. Your fingers get all tangled up if you try to do more than one thing at one time. I constantly find myself holding the DS sideways and pressing two buttons right next to each other with my thumb and index finger, which makes it awkward for the other three fingers to support the game. The uses for the L and R buttons should be reversed, and running should be reassigned to the R button so that you can mess with your items on the go. Using tools like the axe and sword might be better off reassigned to the B button (which seems to be a popular choice with a lot of the other DS games out there, including Rune Factory and Zelda, and doesn't have you accidentally running over other buttons to get to it).

If it were all about the interface, I'd give it a 1. But since I don't have much to compare it to, 3/5.

4. Good, but not great. I got through it a bit too quickly, and after marriage I was bored to tears.

4..
It was almost impossible o win the animal contests...
But, those aside, it is a very good game..

[SakuraMota]

4. Because petting animals makes my arm hurt. x.X;;; But that was (among many, many other things) one of my beefs with the guy version, too.

[VanillaCookies]

3.5/5
It's good, but it has some draw backs.. I'm an animal lover and usually max out my chicken coops and barns the first chance that I get.. However this is the first game in the series in which I willingly sold off a good portion of my animals , and not because I needed the money.. Nope, it was because the damn touch-screen games were putting dents in my screen and I needed to reduce how many times I attacked the damn thing with the stylus...
I also agree that things get rather boring after you get married...

[Xirilia]

though i've mentioned many things i'd change about it i still had alot of fun with the game and spent tons of time playing it so i still rate it a 5

[Icewings]

4.

It was good.

Original DS would have to be a 2 though.

[Luminator]

I like HMDS. Cute is just the same thing exept for a few changes so hmm... I love AWL because it's all peaceful <3 But HMDS is good too :] I gave it a 3/5

[Syvle]

hmm...3....
it was fine and could made me to play it more than 3 hours sometime, but still daily schedule in game bores me easily

[Tie]

i didn't get the first Ds one, but I absolutely love the Cute version I give it a 5. I like cute stuff so it doesn't bother me none. though it would be cool if you could create your own character lol

[ryva05]

I'm often generous in my ratings so I gave Cute a 5. It's the first HM game I've ever played and I'm addicted to it
