Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case, but I still found Murrey to be a fun character. Even though I didn’t get far in his story, it was my hope that looking after him selflessly would lead to some better luck for my farm. During my time with the game, I spent most of my time feeling sorry for the little homeless fella Murrey. Making connections leads to gifts and even certain events, as well as marriage with one of four lucky ladies. Players will meet many fun folks, their stories becoming more clear as connections are made by giving gifts. Really at the centerpoint of A Wonderful Life is its characters. This encapsulates the life of the character and its up to the player on how that life is lived. Each year, characters in the town will age, giving the player six years and a bonus year to do what they like.
Not meeting this goal actually results in an early game over after the first year passes. It’s not long before the player is given a blue feather, the Harvest Moon equivalent of an engagement ring, and the need to marry becomes clear. Its up to the player to bring the farm back into shape, turn profits by selling crops and other products, and live out their adult life. Our hero moves into Forget-Me-Not Valley, where he inherits an old farm from the passing of his father. While there isn’t much of a story driving A Wonderful Life, there is a solid setup and drive to play.

The PS2 version also suffered from performance issues that resulted in much lower scores from critics than the Gamecube release, but we’ll touch more on that later. Most notably, this includes a new wife possibility and the ability to have a son or daughter. Originally on the Gamecube, A Wonderful Life was later ported to the PS2 with some extra content and game enhancements. Farming crops, raising animals, and making relationships is what this legacy was built on and it has stemmed a big following, as well as a few other games that were inspired by it.Ī Wonderful Life, from what I’ve gathered around the net and by talking to friends, is probably in the top five most beloved games in the series. Honestly, I’ve always wanted to, but as a kid I didn’t quite understand the appeal and as an adult I’m not sure where to start in this long running franchise. Now, as a bit of a preface, I will have to admit that I’ve never gotten into the Harvest Moon series. How does Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life Special Edition hold up in the modern era?

That’s the main reason I jumped at the offer to cover this classic Harvest Moon game that has just been made available on PS4 not too long ago. While I am always discussing retro games and streaming them on Twitch, its not often I get to actually review retro games here on Marooners’ Rock.
