Farming sim shows feeding cows and spreading muck has never been so much fun.
Raise hell, with a tractor.
You may believe farming is a dull way to spend your leisure time, but half a million people disagree. Farming Simulator 2011 has sold 500,000 copies worldwide, and sales are expected to continue to rise.
Since its release in November, the game has sold over 300,000 copies in Germany alone.
Farming Simulator 2011 allows players to "take on the role of a young farmer and experience the workaday life in the countryside in a completely adapted and freely accessible farmer's world," according to publisher Giants Software. The latest installment boasts features like "feeding the cows or spreading the dung and liquid manure on the fields."
A new Platinum Edition of the game will release this October.
Robert Stallibrass, marketing director for Excalibur (the game's UK publisher) told MCV that "it's a main product for us this Christmas. It will be very strong."
