"Okay, so we're not dumb (well, not really dumb). John Deere: Harvest in the Heartland is obviously just an advertisement for John Deere tractors disguised as a Harvest Moon ripoff. Fine, we can deal with that. After all, Cabela's has sponsored tons of hunting/fishing games without beating the brand name over the player's head. The difference is that Cabela's doesn't require the player to travel to an authorized retailer and purchase its products as the only option to progress. It wouldn't be a big deal if the developer made a decent game that's actually fun to play. Unfortunately, Black Lantern Studios made a game that is hardly functional, much less fun."

"What if the cute characters from Harvest Moon had industrial strength agriculture equipment at their disposal? The result would likely be something like John Deere: Harvest in the Heartland, a farming game for the Nintendo DS due for release later this year. We had a chance to walk the back 40 with a preview build of the game recently."

"Ok, ok, I know what you're thinking: a tractor game? What the sh*t? Yeah, that's exactly what I thought too, but after getting some personal time with the title -- no, not Ned Beatty-style, purty mouth personal time -- I was really impressed with how much it isn't horrid crap.

We all know that games based on licenses are generally utter crap, and games based on licenses that have absolutely nothing to do with gaming, action, romance, or any other human emotion doubly so. So when I was told we were going to have a talk with Destineer -- the guys behind John Deere: Harvest in the Heartland -- I stared blankly at the wall for a few moments while vainly searching for something hard to throw at everyone around me."

"With the Nintendo DS finding its way into the hands of so many different types of people, game makers have been able to expand into new genres and gameplay varieties on the handheld platform. That's one of the reasons why Destineer's John Deere: Harvest in the Heartland was a pleasant surprise when we got a first look at it this week. Not too many games outside of Natsume's Harvest Moon franchise have explored the fun and challenge of running a farm, and while John Deere on DS does follow a bit in the footsteps of that game, the modern day setting of John Deere and the horsepower of the heavy machinery in the game makes it a unique game for those who can't get enough dirt under their fingernails."

"Unlikely license alert: John Deere: Harvest in the Heartland is coming to DS. OK, maybe this isn't so strange considering that "farm sim" is actually a genre, but John Deere (inventor of the steel plow and tractor company namesake)? I guess we should have seen it coming after PC game John Deere: American Farmer...."
