What our customer's say!

"Lots of fun!", There are quite a few things in this game that aren't exactly realistic. However, if they were to make everything realistic according to the real world of farming, it would make for a pretty complex game. Even though it is lacking some aspects, this game is a lot of fun to play, and can be pretty addicting.

I would definitely recommend to purchase the Deluxe version. It includes many features left out of the regular version, such as putting cattle to pasture, purchasing horses, setting workers to auto-task certain buildings, and putting up hay. You can purchase these games from places like Walmart or Scholastic Book club for around $12. I couldn't find the Deluxe version on Amazon.

"Pretty good farm simulator", This is a pretty good farm simulator, although there are a few bugs in it. You can become stuck in buildings and such, however this raley happens to me and I've put a few hours on this game. I would recomend picking it up from a local software dealer though as you should be able to get it for $9.99 now.

"what a farm boy thinks", This game is a lot of fun to play. The things it lacks is that the farm season only last nine months instead of twelve so you dont get an actual account for the year. if you raise livestock lets say you have 100 cows how is it that only 5-10 of them have calves. the last thing is it does make the farm life seem like it is easy and farmers make a lot of money but what they dont realize is that farming isnt a 9-5 job its a 24- 7 job with lots of stress and problems. but enough of that the game is fun and im going to get the second version and recommend this one toany one looking for a game for the family

"Famers and Video Games", This game is pretty good. Cept, im a farmer myself - i dont have "seasons" to work - unlike the game displays. Also, you cant rent land on the game. but other than those flaws. its a pretty good deal. and in refference to the Teacher/Farmer comparison review - Teachers make way more than a farmer. I would tell anyone they're better off at making themselves a Teacher than a farmer. I dont know anyone who took up being a farmer for the money - most take it up as a desire and a way of life. Not for the money.

" I'M A FARMER. IT ISN'T ANY EASY LIFE.", Farming can be pretty hard and most people think the opposite. This game doesn't demonstrate that. Most people think that farming is an easy life. As "S.Kochel" said in her review " the average farm family makes a lot of money " and " teachers are low paid so I don't want my cousin to be that". I disagree.You would likely have a better life teaching.

There are also quite a few virises. Those could use some work. When I'm in the middle of the game it will shut down. There should also be more time in the year for the farmer to work. I think that you should be aloud to rent land if you couldn't afford to buy more land.

I'm offended by the characters. Not one person should have to listen to them and there rude talking.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"If a farmer fun, but not realistic.", This game is a lot of fun if your a farmer. But its got some things missing in it. Like you can't do haywork, or spread dry fertilizer, or chop corn for silage, or cut oats and bail straw, or no till your corn, and most of the names of the machinery you buy aren't right, or if you don't have enough time to cut your beans or shell your corn ect. in time you can't go on into Nov. or Dec., and lots of other stuff is missing. In real life farming is a lot more fun than this game makes it seem. But it is a great game for people who don't have any experience with farming.

"Disappointed Dirt Clod", Don't waste your money. I bought this hoping it was a modern, more appealing take on the old sim farm. My 4 year old loves John Deere and I thought he would enjoy playing it. Nope. The interface is too complicated and filled with tedious tasks for a kid to stay interested - Seems you spend most of your time getting people in and out of vehicles, which would be great if it were an equipment simulator, but it is not. Too many selections are needed to access regular tasks like hiring crop dusters or checking market trends. The only positives are that the graphics and animation are better and there are more choices in equipment. But overall the game is incredibly tedious. There is no way to schedule tasks in advance (a great feature of sim farm). You can miss your planting or harvesting windows if one of your dolt employees wanders off. I don't want to buy more land as I cannot even fathom the aggravation of getting crops planted and harvested in more than 6 fields. The 4 available crops are a joke. Sim farm had 20 or more. As others noted, you really the ability to assign workers specific tasks - You can lose half a season if one wanders from the veggie plots to clean a barn on the other side of the farm - especially since in the process they will avoid any vehicles! You also need a pause option where you can assign several workers tasks, instead of losing valuable time trying to find out where Clem wandered off to. Where are the equipment sheds? What self respecting farmer will leave a 300,000 combine sitting in the rain? Finally, I truly expected many more equipment choices given the John Deere headline. Maybe even a dealership where I could go test drive, after all, the dinosaur sim farm let you fly the crop duster. This is the first John Deere toy I've ever bought that was a disappointment. Maybe they should have given Ertl a crack at it.

"Needs work, but great game", I too agree this game needs alot of work, never the less it is addicting. One major problem I have been having is my people freezing up to where you can never get done what they froze on. This happens with me more often than not when either cleaning out a barn with a tractor or repairing the dairy barns. If it is an employ, just fire them. If it is a family member however, you are stuck until either they quit, or you sell all your cattle and destroy the barn. I have learned how to fix this last problem. You can NOT build double fences on a dairy barn. Just make the fence all go to one side of the barn as opposed to two seperate sections. I went through 6 dairy barns before I figured that one out. I don't know why, but for some reason they will freeze every time if you have the two seperate fences. The rest of it, I don't have a clue.
As someone else stated, there should be more equipment. I live on a farm here in Texas, so the first thing I obviously noticed it was missing was hay bailing equipment. There should be bigger combines and planters, and there needs to be a way that two different tractors can be on the fields at the same time, otherwise you simply get to where you don't have the time to get it all in. Also maybe some irrigating equipment. Now we rely on rain only. And the thing I'd like to see the most is to be able to assign employees to certain task, or even all the task in a certain barn so they aren't running all over the place unneccesarily. My brother-in-law lives next door and has the game too and our computers are hooked together via LAN, it would be pretty cool to be able to hook the games together and share equipment.

"An upgrade is needed", This is a program full of bugs... you can't win...you can't even patch the problems the prevent you from winning.

I can appreciate the comments that it is not "realisitic"..I live on a farm and it is not realistic, but then I didn't expect it would be...I just thought it would be fun. Its annoying habit of denying you to remedy situations was not however. It was just frustrating.

This could be improved so many ways and I was looking for a patch for it before I wrote this reviewbut that doesn't exist so...

... The graphics are dark to the point you think you are living in Alaska 6 months of the year! Who farms in the dark?
.....You can't find the equipment when you need it because it is so dark
...and Ellie May saying "you got it partner" gets on the nerves after the 50th time you have her search the property.

If "Budding Millionaire" (Charlotte, MI) bought the farm and acreage as claimed, I will attest to the fact that she "bought the farm" in all senses! It is NOT possible!

This game would be decent at $4.99 and makes me glad I have an Allis in the pole barn.

"Not bad but could be better", Not a bad game overall but compared to other sim games very much behind the power curve. I haven
t had many problems with it other than it just shut down once but I save often now. An auto save feature would be nice. Also, it would be nice to be able to assign the workers a specific task, such as milk cows and such. Another nice thing would be more animals as well as equipment offerings. I realize that it will be all john deere items but more of them would be cool. The graphics could be better but overall they are not bad. I hope that Bold does some more work and makes this the game it could really be.
