Product Description
Our hero enters the frontier, where no one dares enter, to cultivate the unforgiving soil. As time passes, his lonely town of one becomes a town of two, three...until it grows into a town to behold! The town is not the only thing to behold. Among the newcomers are beautiful ladies, who have moved to the town to start a new life. Which one will be our hero's lucky lady? However, our hero is soon faced with a problem. Creatures of the frontier, many of them hostile towards humans, pose a great threat to the safety of his townsfolk. To find a way to live in peaceful coexistence or perhaps rid of them along with the danger they bring - the decision is up to our hero. From the creators of Harvest Moon and Rune Factory for the DS comes the first installment of Rune Factory for a home console. Developed exclusively for Wii, Rune Factory: Frontier features stunning graphics and takes full advantage of the Wii's unique controls to fully immerse players in the Rune Factory universe. Rune Factory: Frontier incorporates an open-ended structure that allows players to choose the type of game they wish to experience. Whether it's growing crops, expanding the town, fighting (or befriending) monsters or even falling in love, the experience is unique to each player.

In the history of gaming Japanese computer Role-Playing games have carved a niche full of legends, such as Zelda and Final Fantasy VII. Then, there are sleeper gems such as the RUNE FACTORY FRONTIER.
If you enjoy the world exploration and crafting the World of Warcraft as well as the simulated farming of FarmVille, be prepared to immerse yourself into a world of addictive naivete where one tames the monsters and has to prepare for battle by...cooking.
Do not underestimate it, because THIS IS A VERY ADDICTIVE GAME. And, in contrast to most cRPGs, this is a game that couples will fight each other for the WiiMote. I love this game because it reminds me of the classic The Legend of Zelda - Link's Awakening on my old GameBoy. My wife loves the game too because the soft graphics remind her of the girly anime series she enjoyed while in elementary school.
You have been warned.

I was a huge fan of Harvest Moon 64, playing at friends' houses when I was a kid, and have been disappointed with the more recent Harvest Moon games I've tried. This is a different, slightly more complex game (what with the monster-taming and all), but it keeps the awesome spirit of Harvest Moon and, in many ways, improves on it.
The most annoying thing are the unskippable cutscenes, particularly the opening one. It'd take a lot for me to start a new file just because I know I'll have to sit through 5-10 minutes of cutscenes I can't skip (plus the unskippable tutorial stuff) just to get into the game. Additionally, unlike Harvest Moon in which you start with a full set of basic tools, here you have to be given each tool by a different person. There is no in-game guide or quest progression to give any indication who will give you the next tool, nor how to get them. It's frustrating, though not a big problem considering the wealth of information on various online wikis about the game.
