[edit] Development
The American pre-order bonus was a collectible horse plush that was included in the game when ordered from participating websites.
[edit] Gameplay
As in other Harvest Moon games, the objective is to farm crops and raise animals. Also like other games is the marriage system. There are a total of 5 bachelorettes and bachelors to choose from.
New to this game is the Bazaar. Here, the player can sell any of his items to people from the city. Mayor Felix will present the bazaar's profit goal and, the day after the bazaar, the rankings for the most profitable shop. If the player ranks in the top 3, he earns a prize.
After reaching the goal certain times, Felix will announce that the bazaar will have more shops.
There are also some characters from Harvest Moon DS: Sunshine Islands who appear: Chen and Gannon will be part of the bazaar while Pierre will judge the food the player made during the Cooking Contests.
[edit] Reception
Nintendo Power gave the game a 6/10, saying "Although it's the fifth Harvest Moon title for the DS system, not much has changed in Harvest Moon: Grand Bazaar."[3] Gamerankings has an aggregate score of 70.31% from 13 reviews for Harvest Moon DS: Grand Bazaar.[4]
