AWL is PAINFULLY bad, it's not a proper Harvest Moon game, in any way shape or freaking form. The days last too long, you buy stuff from the shipping basket, the main character doesn't wear a cap! Seeds planted in one patch at a time? It's terrible, I played it for one day and then took it back.

I'd much rather stick with Friends of Mineral Town, at least that stays true to the original style of Harvest Moon.
