5.1 Game Genres- Farmville Review

The game that I chose to review on is Farmville. Farmville is a very entertaining game in which the player get's the opportunity to create their ideal farm. Farmville is a zynga facebook game which is very popular amongst the facebook users.

The goal of this game is to make money by planting and harvesting so they will be able to buy material for their farm. Such material and belongings include things like trees, animals, barns, pets, and decorations such as fences and hay stacks. In Farmville the player starts off with a small area of land and a character. The player would start off with giving their cartoon character the perfect look and then they get to work. My experience so far on Farmville has been interesting even though it does become a little bit addicting.

I support Farmville because it is a free game on facebook which however could be bought if one wishes. A great thing about this interesting game is that it teaches young players about earning their belongings with hardwork and determination. The player needs to come back to the farm before their crops wither and keep making money which is a challenge. Moreover, the game stays interesting because as one makes more money and finishes more levels, they get the opportunity to increase their land and rearrang their belongings. My favorite part about it is that you can make your friends your neighbours and visit each others farms.

At the same time I do not support Farmville in some ways such as how attached one gets to it once the user starts playing. A great challenge in Farmville is making money in bills because it is with that money that the player is able to buy the good stuff. Most of the time you will only make coins. Farmville would also be a lot more interesting if there was a town where the player could go and sell their products and be more involved in the farmlife. Also if the farmer could have more duties such as feeding their animals and pets would make it more realistic.

Overall, I personally enjoy Farmville a lot. The game takes to you a completely different world where the player gets a great experience and have a lot of fun. Also, Farmville teaches players that it is difficult to obtain possessions in life. On the other hand Farmville is also very time comsuming and keeps teens hooked to the computer. I would rate Farmville a 4/5 and i recommend others to try this game.
