Animal Parade is the recent game in the series of Harvest Moon collection and delivers you exactly what one can ask for. The plot of the game is simple with no confusion whatsoever. The story of the game is to help save the Goddess tree that keeps the land fertile from dying. The task has to be accomplished by the player upon the request of the Harvest Goddess. This can be achieved by ringing five bells and save the land from dying. On this process, the player has to construct a farm and grow trees, animals and make this a peaceful land.

This series is an ongoing process with no much difference but animal parade has introduced some new features, which brings some freshness in it. A circus plot has been introduced where the player can locate animals that are lost in town and also have a chance to make them as pets. But one has to shower lot of affection by buying gifts in order to make them as pets. Farming is one of the salient features in this game where you have a chance to spend days and months. You can also make money in this process and buy gifts and shower affection on other people.

There is also a mining mode in this game that may be frustrating at times but would yield more money. It is actually confusing to player of where to find the right place for mining as the player could well spend days and finally end up getting rocks that are useless. But if you find the right place for mining, then this is the place where the player can earn big money.

Another frustrating feature that one feels is the way the camera operates. It lies so close to the character that one would find it difficult to see the path ahead. It suddenly zooms up and down and makes the player confused at times.

Though there are several drawbacks, one would personally feel to buy this game as it brings some freshness from the Harvest moon series. The settings, locations and characters are all so beautiful that makes this game attractive. The lovers of Harvest moon series can definitely buy this game and can get guaranteed satisfaction.
