IGN: Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility Review

In the end, Tree of Tranquility is a decent - but at times, weak - first offering on Wii, and while IGN had a good time playing it, they couldn't help but think of the better times the series has already seen, and hopefully the better it has ahead. Die-hard fans should pick it up. Everyone else, give it a rent, or explore your options. There are a lot of them.

I thought friends of mineral town was just a gba port of Back to Nature.

Save the Homeland and A Wonderful Life are awesome too. All Harvest Moon are very fun :)

This franchise has so many games. Though I'm interested in it.
Any recommendations?

Start with friends of mineral town, easily the best HM game.

Back to Nature and the N64 one are my favs, Magical Melody I thought was great on the Gamecube also but I am sure they are all fun.

I wish they would make some newer ones for the Wii U or the PS Vita.
