Pros: It's awesome, to see Forget-Me-Not Valley's point of veiw in a feminine way. Having the abilities to charm the ideal man of your dreams (at least in the game) is better then having to work your way into the heart of a woman when you are a woman like in the first version of the game. I loved it!

Cons: The graphics are so charming, but a tiny bit TOO charming. Everything's just so perfect and cutesy, even at nighttime. You can only parent a boy child, just like the beginning version, and there's only a limit of three men to work with. It's hard to get everything done in one day, like planting & watering, cooking, fishing, animal tending, flirting, and making extra money on the side (unless you already know the secert cheat to become a filthy rich girl). There's hardly anytime to just walk around and enjoy the valley.

I absolutely LOVE how realistic and fictional this game is. Ever since I rented the first version, I've been following the chapters, even though I've never beat either game. There's always hours of stuff to do, keeping you fully busy and ...entertained. The graphics ARE adorable but the villagers are all so made-up and deformed and follow the same route around town everyday (I'm not a stalker though!) Becoming a responsible farmer and being able to love everything from your freetime (if you get any) to your crops, and your animals to your new baby boy and husband takes a little patience to get used to but eventually everyone finds their own pace and falls into line with a well-maintained schedule. But even for those people who HAVE to play this game perfectly, without offending neighbors, killing their livestock, become dead-out poor, ugly crops, parenting a miserable son... it will eventually happen... but then again maybe it won't. L.O.L! Just keep plugging and don't worry about mess ups. Overall this is the greatest game on earth (whatevers out there on Mars, I don't know. L.O.L!) and even when I stop playing it for a while and completely forget about it, it ends up drawing me back! Five stars! Read more Less
