Rating:  - Lots of fun!
There are quite a few things in this game that aren't exactly realistic. However, if they were to make everything realistic according to the real world of farming, it would make for a pretty complex game. Even though it is lacking some aspects, this game is a lot of fun to play, and can be pretty addicting.
I would definitely recommend to purchase the Deluxe version. It includes many features left out of the regular version, such as putting cattle to pasture, purchasing horses, setting ... Read More
Rating:  - Pretty good farm simulator
This is a pretty good farm simulator, although there are a few bugs in it. You can become stuck in buildings and such, however this raley happens to me and I've put a few hours on this game. I would recomend picking it up from a local software dealer though as you should be able to get it for $9.99 now.
Rating: - what a farm boy thinks
This game is a lot of fun to play. The things it lacks is that the farm season only last nine months instead of twelve so you dont get an actual account for the year. if you raise livestock lets say you have 100 cows how is it that only 5-10 of them have calves. the last thing is it does make the farm life seem like it is easy and farmers make a lot of money but what they dont realize is that farming isnt a 9-5 job its a 24- 7 job with lots of stress and problems. but enough of that the game is fun and ...

Rating:  - Famers and Video Games
This game is pretty good. Cept, im a farmer myself - i dont have "seasons" to work - unlike the game displays. Also, you cant rent land on the game. but other than those flaws. its a pretty good deal. and in refference to the Teacher/Farmer comparison review - Teachers make way more than a farmer. I would tell anyone they're better off at making themselves a Teacher than a farmer. I dont know anyone who took up being a farmer for the money - most take it up as a desire and a way of life. Not for the money.
Rating: - I'M A FARMER. IT ISN'T ANY EASY LIFE.
Farming can be pretty hard and most people think the opposite. This game doesn't demonstrate that. Most people think that farming is an easy life. As "S.Kochel" said in her review " the average farm family makes a lot of money " and " teachers are low paid so I don't want my cousin to be that". I disagree.You would likely have a better life teaching.
There are also quite a few virises. Those could use some work. When I'm in the middle of the game it will shut down. There should also be more time ... Read More
