My grandparents were farmers and my dad always had interesting stories about growing up and working on a farm. I think that really shaped my perspective of how much hard work goes into farming and made me appreciate the produce we can so easily access at our local store. I hope my son, Max, will grow to understand and appreciate his agricultural roots. And even though he is growing up in the city, that he will learn about all that goes into bringing him the food that he eats everyday.
Playing the new game, Farmer Jane, brought back memories of visiting my grandparents on their farm. If a game can do that, it gets high marks in my book. The graphics are great, creating a little more of a 3-D look to the characters. You also get to choose your character to play and customize the clothing, which is a nice touch. There are many upgrade options as well that really help but also make the game more challenging at the same time. Also, there is a chance that every now and then you can produce a special crop that will yield you more money.
This game definitely poses a challenge to keep up with all the demands of farming and managing to get the products in the customers hands in a timely manner. If you are a fan of time management games or just looking to try something new, definitely give Farmer Jane a try!
