The overall aim of the game is to restore Waffle Island’s Mother Tree, bringing peace and prosperity back to the island’s inhabitants, which will take you a couple of years of game time with everything else going on too.Īlthough the majority of the gameplay hasn’t changed since the series’ first appearance back on the SNES, this Wii update does include some motion-sensitive controls, although to be honest you’re much better off using a Classic Controller. You plough fields, grow crops, raise animals and find a wife or husband, as you can now choose to play as a girl without buying a later rerelease. You’ll either be relieved or disappointed to hear that Tree of Tranquility deviates very little from the classic Harvest Moon template. It’s been available in the US for over a year, but now it’s finally available in PAL territories it’s time to see how it measures up. Tree of Tranquility is the first game in the main Harvest Moon series designed exclusively for Wii, following 2007’s disastrous Gamecube port Magical Melody.
