Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
* Nice graphics that don't seem to take much to run--my computer is a joke and I've never once seen this game lag.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
It also doesn't have what I'd want from a farming game -- any amount of realism; it's just too easy: rake the plot, drop some seed (if you don't have it you can buy it on the spot), sprinkle some water(can be annoying if you have the basic can and need to water tomatoes), and then wait a variable amount of time for your crop to grow so you can harvest it, or water it some more for a better yield.
