Electronic Theatre offers an in-depth analysis of the latest Harvest Moon title to arrive in Europe - Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon on Nintendo DS.

A great deal of minor improvements have been made to the framing aspect of the series, most of which are notably for the better. Players can now walk across crops instead of having to plan their layout accordingly to allow for watering spaces, or risk unnecessarily losing resources, and the Inventory has been expanded exponentially. Newcomers to the franchise will still find a steep learning curve in place, but long-time fans will undoubtedly feel right at home.
