Save the Homeland, when compared to It's a wonderful life, feels more like a Demo for what the game could do.

I've played every console Harvest Moon except the 64 version, and I'd say the best one is probably Magical Melody or Tree of Tranquility, this game definately got better as time went on.

Magical Melody has about 13 brides/grooms to choose from, and offers multple plots of land you can buy, ever increasing the size of your farm.

Plus theres a Mexican who employs other people to do his fruit picking, which is ever so hilarious to me.

Plus Eva, the girl at the bar, says some very 'suggestive' things when it's raining.

I'd probably put Magical Melody on Gamecube over Tree of Tranquility on the Wii, even the the Wii ones Gay Elf Sex Rainbow is funny as hell...
