Chỉ một vài tựa game trên 3DS như Reisident Evil, Monster Hunter, Kid Icarus hay Mario 3D Land mới được đầu tư để có thể nhồi nhét nhiều chi tiết vào môi trường. Không phải hãng nào cũng sẵn sàng đầu tư mạnh mảng đồ họa cho một game 3D trên handheld. Tui thấy đồ họa của bản HM này như vậy là chấp nhận được.

Một người chơi phàn nàn:
The game's fun enough, and I've only put six hours in, which in Harvest Moon land is minuscule, but I'm kind of regretting my purchase at forty dollars.

If you are still in your first Spring, things won't pick up until the 25th when Rebecca and Toni show up. On Summer 2, Dunhill will start you on the main plot of the story. From then on, your job is to collect the right quest-parts, do the things you've been assigned, and complete the plans. Each plan is more involved than the previous one.
The dating system is a little different. You do the standard gifts and raise heart colors, but you need to give the person a ring and become boyfriend/girlfriend before you can see the rest of the heart events. You will be dedicated to that person until you hand over the blue feather. Other villagers will comment on your relationship and the dialog will change to more lovie-dovie with your sweetheart. You can break up with the person but it takes effort. You can't see all of the heart events for every marriage candidate like in past versions.
Crops are grown in fields that are 2x8 and 2 bags of seeds will cover all 8 spots. There are different field types that allow for faster crop growth. The big and giant crops that have been on pre-release screen shots are special and sell for more money. They also increase your chances of winning the seasonal crop festivals.
There are a variety of festivals - contests (crops, fishing), gatherings (fireworks, snow), and sweetheart (harmony days). You will win construction blueprints for building things for your town, crop seeds, and cooking recipes. You need to know the cooking recipe before you can cook the dish - recipes are found from festivals, rewards from villagers, caught when fishing, or found when mining. There is even a gardening show in this game that lets you design you own garden space and once per season, be judged on your design eye.
A big part of the game is the customization features, whether it is your character or the town itself. You can change your hair style and color at the salon, change your clothes at the tailors, or even change your skin color and face at the witch princess' shop. This allows you to make yourself look either male or female if you want, but your actual gender does not change; just your outward appearance.
Each person who plays will have a different layout of the town. Roads, lamp posts, decorations, houses, and so on, will be placed by the game player into any layout he or she prefers. Unfortunately there isn't an easy way to show off your town layout to other people. There are over 350 blueprints you can find in the game. Some are just basic decorations, but then there's the farmhouse wallpaper, flooring, and furniture designs you can create.
New animals are the Llama and Yak. You'll get a free cow on Spring 9 from Neil and after that you buy the rest of your animals: cows, jersey cows, sheep, suffolk sheep, alpaca, brown alpaca, llama, and yak. You need to build the chicken coop before you can buy a chicken, but then you can just hatch the rest of them. Some players use the wifi Nintendo network system to collect a silkie chicken egg from another player, which lets you get the better silkie chickens before they're naturally unlocked in-game. For the livestock, you can give treats to increase the productivity levels and it is much easier to do than in Tale of Two Towns. When a livestock animal can produce 5 products and spends 50 hours in Animal Land (which is another feature at Neil's animal shop), the livestock animal will enlarge in size.
Then there's the fishing, the new fish trap fishing, the music sheet tunes, and so on. The game has a lot of content to it IF you can struggle to get past the first season
mà giờ vẫn còn ra phiên bản mới đều đặn 
ta nói, bởi vậy fan HM sung sướng 
...so với nhìu game khax thì HM thọ chán
Tui thấy game vẫn còn hơi nhạt
, còn việc hm đi xuống thì ai nhìn vô cũng thấy mà, thấy ign chấm bản này 8.3 cũng đang hi vọng 1 cái gì đó về gameplay cải tiến hơn.
Sớm hay muộn cũng đâu thành vấn đề, chơi bản này hôm nay thì sau này cũng còn để chiến bản khác (nếu có trên 3DS 
do còn bận chơi game khác trên 3ds
550 thì mắc quá , vừa mua xong 2 games 3ds ngốn gần 2 triệu rồi.
