Even if your real garden resembles a pile of brown sticks, you can
raise beautiful virtual veggies. In this restful but engaging game,
you guide Alice Greenfingers's crops from bare earth to market.
Gameplay is simple. Instead of a tutorial, you just play along,
receiving occasional advice from a granny character or the aged
agricultural shopkeeper. You dig in the dirt, sow seeds, and
nurture your plants until they bear fruit (or flowers, or
vegetables) enough to sell at the farmer's market. Over time, you
transform your backyard garden into a model of bountiful, bucolic
bliss. Alice really means business; the game tells you the current
demand for crops, so you can tweak the prices of your wares
accordingly and make more money at market.
The uncomplicated graphics and pretty music with birds a-twitter
suit the idyllic setting. This is a game for relaxing, not for
getting keyed up. The demo version works for just one hour; for
more fun on the farm, you'll have to pony up $20.
For all its sedate pace, Alice Greenfingers is a surprisingly
addictive game. I let loose a cry of dismay when the screen briefly
went black and then told me my hour of fantasy farming was up.
