Farming Simulator 2013 claims it's about farming, but in practice it's more concerned with the business of cultivation - and it's a child's vision of agricultural life at that.

There are many more farming simulators than I realised when I first started looking into Farming Simulator 2013, which is a lot more fun than it actually sounds. As a nice break from the somewhat violent, competitive and intense nature of our current gaming life (well, mine at least), Farming...

Once again, the so called 'critics' get it wrong. Although the title of the game is slightly misleading (it's more of an arcade game than simulation) the game is still very solid. It's easy to learn, easy to play, and will keep you farming for endless hours.

This is a long way from being the cream of the crop and is definitely one to avoid.

On-sceen PDA works well; Collectibles have a nice reward

Steep learning curve; Not a great simulator; No enjoyment from playing it
