Old MacDonald Had A Farm
SCORE: 84
When I saw the
pictures of Old MacDonald Had A Farm I was so hoping this would be a
Harvest Moon killer. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the Harvest Moon
series, I just wish it would drop the goddess and witch content. Old
MacDonald Had A Farm has good clean content that the entire family can
enjoy. But it is not really a Harvest Moon kind of game. There are some
similarities, but not enough.
The graphics in Old MacDonald Had A Farm are crisp, clean, and clear. I
enjoyed watching the different plants grow, and the special effects
letting me know they are ready to be harvested. The music in Old
MacDonald Had A Farm has a fun feel to it. The special effects in the
audio department fit the content of the game. There are a few sounds
that will wake you up if you are dozing.
Old MacDonald Had A Farm includes enough levels that it will not be
beaten in one sitting. I enjoyed playing this game even though it was
not what I was hoping it would be. In some ways Old MacDonald Had A Farm
reminds me of some of the apps I have played on the iPod Touch.
Everything you do in Old MacDonald Had A Farm costs money. Till the
land, plant the seeds, etc. Well technically harvesting does not cost
money. Selling the produce brings money in. Which means more can be
planted, tilled, etc. The plants grow quickly, and generally do not need
to be watered. In essence Old MacDonald Had A Farm is a casual game
where planting and harvesting is the main game play mechanic.
Families can learn that different seeds cost more money, and sell for a
higher price. Old MacDonald Had A Farm also teaches that it takes hard
work to make money. The grandfather is a wonderful adult figure in this
game, and it is nice to see family being supported in a video game. I
would like to see sequels to this game.
