If you love the land and farming this is the game for you. My son plays it every day and the game hasn't gotten old in months. This game is a little difficult when you first start but once you get the hang of it, it is a lot of fun.
Great for the little John Deere nut! January 25, 2009

My son has been haying with his grandpa since he was six months old and riding with our farmer neighbor for a couple of years doing grass seed and wheat, including riding in the IH Combine. He loves this game especially buying new equipment. A true farmer at heart, our six year old gives this a two thumbs up. After all he knows the difference between real and make believe and it is a way to pass time between harvests thats all, who cares about deatail as long as its fun?
My son LOOOVVVEESSSS this game! October 4, 2008

This game is not for everyone, I have to say. But I loved it! It is a farm sim where you plant and harvest a variety of crops, raise livestock, hire workers, build farm buidlings, and buy John Deere farm equipment.
I have lived in the city my whole life, but I also enjoy simulation and strategy games. I also like finances and accounting. For those who are looking for action packed, fighting games this title may not be for you.
I liked how simple this game was to learn, yet the challenges make it worth staying. You deal with weather and bugs that can destroy your crops. You struggle with debt (that can be overcome with patience and work) and trying to time the in-game market to buy livestock at the right price as well as sell livestock and the crops you have stored at the right time.
This game is not terribly elaborate, but according to my cousins who live on a farm and a friend who has an animal science degree, this game is quite realistic in terms of running a farm.
So if you are looking for a game that gives you a realistic farm experience, this one is the best I have played. It is fairly inexpensive, too, which is nice. A great way to spend some free hours!
