Mm Vs. Awl, Which is better? Options

I think A Wonderful Life is better, personally. The controls in Magical Melody were hard to get used to.

Well, for me, both games are great; but I definitely favor AWL.

A Wonderful Life (Another Wonderful Life, to be exact) was my first harvest moon game. I can't really say why I picked it up and bought it, prior to that I've never played or even heard about Harvest Moon. But once I got into it, I was hooked. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

The storyline and roleplaying aspect of Harvest Moon is my favorite, which is I guess the main reason I like AWL more. The whole idea of everyone and everything growing up is really cool. I like how its possible to mold your child into what you would like him to be and watch him grow. I mean, the farming part is fun too, but that's second banana to the storyline.

The graphics are absolutely amazing, too. Everything is realistic but still very cute. I also like the calm, peacefulness of it. It's not as loud, bright, and in-your-face as Magical Melody, haha.

The only complaint I would have about AWL is that it does get slow. I mean, the first couple chapters go by fine... but towards the middle it gets tedious. Even the first days of the year are okay, but by the time winter comes in any chapter, I feel like I just want it to be over and move on to the next chapter. Things can get repetitive, like digging and fishing... but that goes for Magical Melody, too.

What I do like about MM is, though, that it has a great cast of characters. There are so many choices to marry, for either a boy or a girl. But the game doesn't really allow their personalities to get deep, it's all pretty shallow and casual. The days go by faster, which I like.

In the end though, my personal preference is AWL. :)
