Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon - Special Edition (Sony PlayStation 2, 2008)

I really like this game overall. It has great graphics and storyline and is actually more in depth then any other Harvest Moon Game I've played. I think its because its not just about how well you do with your farm, but the connections you make with people and how you reach the goal of saving the island. Its like they took the concept of Save the Home Land with the game play of Magical Melodies and tied it in together. I really liked how you live in ancient ruins that you get to explore (xD guess thats where they tied in Rune Factory) rather then just on a plain old farm. Also the fact that theres way more places to explore is amazing!

Onto the bad -

I hate the stupid bell message thing that feels the need to announce that the bell rang. "The Morning Bell Just Rang" Thank you I think I figured that out from the clock and the bell ringing! The Clock moves way to fast for the amount of map they give you. dont get me wrong the buggy helps and I know you can camp out but if you have a feild full of crops that need to be harvested you have to be home to get them. The Scale Pack thing is just irritating! If your going to put that much free stuff to harvest in the game dont limit the amount you can pick before emptying the sack based on weight! What happened to the good old fashion you can pick 99 and thats it? I also didn't really care for how you dont really even need to bother with your animals since the machines do it all for you. Even though I like how much more to the storyline there is it shouldnt have taken away from the original concept of caring for things on your farm. Which again is probably because there isn't a lot of time on the clock.

Overall great game for what it is but it could still stand to be improved upon. I really wouldnt care about any of it besides the bell message thing, that really gets on my nerves.

This is a very time-consuming game, just like all other Harvest Moon titles. There are some notable differences that set this game apart from its predecessors. For one, you don't have to give gifts to the townspeople nor date female characters in order to get married. You're just an android that's gets closer to human status by learning to love and value life. Also, the technology of this futuristic harvest moon is very welcoming... no longer do you have to deal with pesky sprites- now you have a robot that helps with the crops. And there's machinery that helps you ship your products easier- no more waking up early to get the eggs from the chickens, lol, a machine takes care of that - it's awesome!!

I love this game!

I love harvest moon games and this one is no exception.
The start out is slow but once you have had the satisfaction of shipping your first batch of veggies you'll be hooked into it.

In this game you play as an artificial human created by doctor Hope. You are left at some ruins on Heartfelt Island to manage a farm and help bring an end to the destruction of the island by the volcano sprite.

I love the whole Harvest Moon series! I missed out on this game but luckily I was about to buy it here on Ebay. This game is really addicting.

An Innocent Life is one of the best versions of Harvest Moon I have played. While the original is by far the best. Innocent Life throws in many new adventures and a much more vivid story line. It is tons of fun and I play for hours on end.
