   If you like farm games and a little strategy give this game a try ...

   Howdy,
   
   This is a simulation game that allows users to control the members of a family farm. The object of the game is to progress through the game's various stories all while making sure to complete the story requirements for each level. The story requirements tend to follow those you would expect to find on the farm including: planting fields, tending fields, tending livestock and bringing in the harvest. Users also get to hire workers, and do repairs on the house, and general landscaping to improve moral.
   
   Graphics: 8/10 - For a simulation game; which typically 2D - 2.5D, this 3D simulation has graphics that are well done and smooth.
   
   Sound FX/Music: 8/10 - The sound effects are well done and create a great farm-like ambiance.
   
   Gameplay: 8/10 - Control your farm's cash flow by properly managing the time and efforts of each member of your the family farm. Don't forget to make sure everyone is fed before noon...productivity tends to hurt when people don't eat. Go figure!
   
   Nice to have: It would be nice to have the ability for fast forward to various locations of the game. When playing the game on a separate computer the user is required to start from scratch. Not a big deal really.
   
   Overall, I think most people will enjoy this game.
