1-0 out of 5 stars Short on pure gaming value
While Tall: Unlimited (or Tall: Infinity, as it is otherwise titled) possesses decent graphics and original puzzle-solving elements, its gameplay is nevertheless a little too complex for all but the most intense gamers to appreciate. Theoretically, the purpose of the game is to create a multi-tiered tower within a set time limit, which is difficult enough to accomplish in and of itself. However, with additional rules to keep in mind, the process of accomplishing this task is far more frustrating than it is fun. For example, the tower's eighteen-block circumference must be full in order for the top story to be considered "complete." Similarly, there are so many strategies to use in respect to winning the game (e.g., rolling and re-rolling blocks over one another until their colors match up perfectly) that selecting the perfect maneuver proves itself to be little more than a chore. Receiving bonus points for building towers in as little time or as few steps as possible doesn't make matters much more enjoyable, either, and is apt to turn even the most carefree gamer into an utterly cantankerous perfectionist. Even if players pay little to no attention to the game's dull and monotonous music, boring stick-figure characters, and limited control and sound effects, the aforementioned flaws are enough to kill gamers' interest.

If PSX owners are looking for a good "supermarket-stand" or "bargain-bin" puzzle game by Agetec, they'd be better off searching for a copy of Star Sweep or Crossroad Crisis, both of which have gameplay that is easy to learn, though still difficult (though certainly not impossible) to master. One cannot say the same for the gaming elements of Tall: Unlimited, unfortunately, for despite how this title tries to cite its foundation upon such quality gaming, it simply does not stack up that way. ...

There are over 50 characters with which you can interact. You can attend festivals, and compete in events like Chicken Sumo and the annual Town Tomato Fight.

4-0 out of 5 stars Funny, cute, hard work
This game ist like the others before: working on a farm, feeding your animals...but it is as funny as the others before, maybe more, 'cause you have more possibilities what you can do in this game. To be honest, you cannot explain what makes this game worth to buy it, you MUST play it by yourself, then you can see, what I mean!!
Have fun

5-0 out of 5 stars Not the Usual Genre
Last year for christmas, I got a playstation one and Harvest Moon Back to Nature. This game is pretty great. First of all it's not the usual "shoot as many people as you can" type of game. Basically, you run a farm. I know, I know, you're probably rolling your eyes but trust me, there's more to the game than that. First, you have three years to build up the farm. You do this by buying animals (chickens, cows, sheep) and taking care of them. You also do this by growing a variety of crops (there are different crops for each season.), and by improving your house. This game never gets old. There are festivals to attend, people to talk too, wood to chop, hay to harvest, and a variety of of adventures to be had.

5-0 out of 5 stars Yeah, buy this
How could a game about farming be entertaining? You have no idea.

The mere fact that this game is about farming is a major turn-off to anyone who hears about it -but it's not boring at all. On the contrary, it's one of the best games I own. This game makes farming fun! But it's not all about farming! There's a social aspect, as well. Not only do you have to make friends with all your neighbors, but you have to charm a girl and eventually get married. You later have a child. (Although your son will never grow past toddler) It's quite the complex game, really.

I'll tell you right off that it's not the most exciting game. No blowing off heads, no shooting people, no dodging street cars... Don't let that turn you away! This game calls for hours (upon hours, upon hours, upon hours...) of fun.

I have every Harvest Moon game released in the US, and quite frankly, this is by far the best. Most people purchase the version for PS2 instead of this one, simply because it's more recent, but it's nowhere near as good. You can't even get married in that version.

The real reason that this game is the best is probably because of the festivals. There's an average of about a festival a week, and I must say, their quite good. The festivals in the other games (with the exception of N64) are quite mediocre. They're hardly worth going to. The festivals in this game are very interesting and they're always worth seeing.

I have only one criticism for this game: Saving, loading, and merely switching between scenes takes far too long. In other versions, these actions typically occur without delay... In this game, however, it takes a few moments. It's not terribly long, it can just be a pain.

Despite that little set back, it's a marvelous game that anyone with a half of mind can enjoy. I whole-heartedly recommend it to anyone with the slightest interest in a game that requires strategy.

This game was so much fun!It's so realistic, and so well thought out.Not to mention the cute little charecters!

You play as a boy who, if I remember correctly, has inherited a relative's farm.There's a garden to plant and grow, a barn, and a building to keep chickens in.You can travel outside of the farm, visiting different parts of town.You'll meet plenty of people along the way, and have oppurtunities to buy animals, books, food, and other items.Your ultimate goal is to have the farm up and running before a year is up, to prove to the town that you can take care of it.Every second is a minute on the game.

Now, quit reading reviews and go rent or buy this game!I'm just kidding.I really would recommend it, though.
