HM: Island of happiness

I am wondering who has bought it, who has played it and how far they have played?

I don't like the controls in Island of Happiness so far so I haven't been playing it much yet. So I only passed...4 days or so. That's how far I played into that game and I plan to probably not get into it yet as I want to work on this forum and my ytube page.

i got it the day it came out and got all the way to marrying sabrina in file one and the witch princess in file 2.

That's cool =D My DS touch screen is a bit broken up, that's why it's hard for me to control, lol.

maybe you should get a new DS, a broken touch screen is never good, even if it's only a little bit.

Other than sending it to Nintendo to get fixed, it's stinks to have a touch screen somewhat broken (it's from playing too much Elite Beat Agents). But yeah, I just can't stand the thought of losing the DS For about 3 weeks (like someone I know).

So how is it? Is it more awesome than the previous games to you? Or just different and unique in its own way?

the game has it's ups and downs, it uses the touch screen a lot more than the other games for the DS, obviously, it all depends if you like moving your characters with the touch screen, at some times, i find it annoying cuz i find it hard to make fences.

I just got Pierre to Yellow heart. >.< its kinda hard. and on my other file im working on Natalie. ^^. I don't do much beacuse im usually more on DS cute so i can marry every bachelor and see the events and stuff.

I started too but right now addicted to DS cute. =D Ohs how do the friend codes work on Island of Happiness?

i think they just compare your farm and progress on the island with your friends.

I always like the originals a little bit more than the preceding girl versions like DS:Cute, especially since I've married every single bachelor (besides Skye, of course) in the other games.

I am addicted to IoH. I hate the controls, and since my mom dropped my DS on the tile, which broke the hinge and made things a little glitchy, it's kind of hard to play, but I play anyways. Vaughn is my husband, and I'm pregnant in the game, Pierre and Natalie are married *(and expecting their child)*. I love getting rivals that I'm not interested in, married. At first, I was going to marry Denny, but decided to raise Vaughn's heart level once Denny's was maxed out, and then just married Vaughn.

So yeah, it's pretty fun, but one of my favorite things is that the difficulty is consistent. I'm still interested in the game after marriage and pregnancy, which is a first, other than AWL and AnWL.

My friend has the game..i really hate the controls. I dont like how you use the touch pen, its like a stick of butter

I bought the game for my birthday. I'm in my second year only because I started over three or four times.

I've abandoned Animal Crossing (Which plays by itself even when you're not, and the characters even notice) just trying to get Pierre to a blue heart.

I hope to get this game for christmas, although i hate the controls ill get used to it ;P

I have the game and I have Denny at Yellow heart. I don't like his name. I like his japanese name Danny. The controls are annoying, it's hard to make fences. But still I love any Harvest Moon Game!

controls are fine for me O.o; when yo uget used to it it isnt hard to use them at all but kinda fun. (my ds is always inside of the scarf i knit xDD seriously i dont want to break the touchpad) anyway... In my first file i married Voughn and on second Pierre (too cute >>) But for some reason its kind of hard to trigger events D:<

Not really. For some of the events, especially rival events, you have to reach a certain requirement. For example, it took me forever to trigger Denny and Lanna's fourth rival event because you have to ship, like, 50 to 100 fish (I believe that's the number).
