If you're not in it to grow and love the characters, then you may as well just play Farmville - as that game is just monotonous farming.

The appeal is the "virtual reality" of a simple, farming life within a small community.

There are also four huge dungeons to hone fighting skills and cultivate crops in, plus monsters can be tamed to help out on the farm too. Gamers can play through two generations within the game, firstly as the father and then the son or daughter. Gamers can start a family with a choice of the female villagers they encounter, with over 12 potential wives to pick from. The Rune Factory series takes all the elements from Harvest Moon and injects a hefty dose of RPG gameplay. Leading Japanese video games publisher Rising Star Games has today confirmed that Rune Factory 2: A Fantasy Harvest Moon will be released exclusively on Nintendo DS on 8th October 2010.
