This is the only game I use cheat codes in. Why? Because the point of the game, to me, is to misbehave. I don't bother playing the game line, I just go out and cause mayhem. Use the cheat code to put the game in riot mode, and watch everyone (including the old ladies) fight. Hijack a bus and run every vehicle you encounter off the road. Shoot, toss hand grenades and firebombs, use bazookas and flame throwers, or just plain get into fist fights. It's my go to game when I feel frustrated.

Ok, if I could give this one stars, it would only get 4 stars due to technical difficulties. I had the same problem many others seem to be having with the game crashing at start up. Somehow, I figured out that if I unplug my game controller (Wingman Formula Force GP with windows 10 driver) the game will start up every time. I wait until the game is loaded, then plug the controller in. It has a couple other minor glitches, but don't all games have glitches?

I see a lot of people who upgraded from version 17, and they are not impressed. Well, I upgraded from version 15, and it was well worth it. So, I am comparing it to version 15.

It is a bit harder to play than version 15, as you can't just go around mowing every ditch row on the map and make silage out of it, you have to own the land before you can mow it. You also have to work the soil more, fertilizing twice and needing to control the weeds. I like that because it adds realism. I also like being able to lease equipment. It also has a sleep mode, where you can go to your house and get some sleep. I like this because I don't have to wait four or five minutes for night to pass (at 120 x time mode), it passes in about 10 seconds. Being able to work for other farmers is cool, too. (my grandpa used to have an 80 acre farm with more equipment than he needed, so he used to either hire out to other farmers or rent land from other people) And being able to start from scratch (no land or equipment, just money) is very cool. I wish someone would get around to adding the Farming Classics expansion pack, it would go well with starting from scratch.

So if you like FS 15, you will like FS 19 even better.
