Farm Town vs FarmVille 2
FarmVille 2 is the better choice for a more polished and community-focused farming experience, despite its recent technical issues, while Farm Town struggles with severe bugs and aggressive monetization.
FarmVille 2, with its long-standing popularity and social features, offers a more engaging farming simulation, though it's currently plagued by Facebook connectivity problems. Farm Town, while having nice graphics, is severely hampered by frequent crashes, progression blockers, and a perceived 'pay-to-advance' model.
Head to head
you prefer a simpler, more casual farming game with good graphics and optional ads for rewards, and are willing to tolerate frequent glitches and a strong push towards in-app purchases R5R11.
you want a more in-depth and realistic farming simulation with social features like co-ops, and are prepared to navigate through frequent pop-ups and recent connectivity issues .
Evidence note: Recent reviews for FarmVille 2 are heavily skewed negative due to widespread Facebook login issues, which impacts its lifetime rating. Farm Town's smaller user base provides less comprehensive feedback overall.

- [R5] Farm Town Amazing game: It’s amazing you can watch videos and get diamonds. You can just do a bunch and it’s totally epic and rock on.
- [R11] Farm Town Beautiful but glitchy: This is an enjoyable game. Beautiful graphics, lots of choices, optional ads, and long wait times to prevent excessive gaming in one sitting. However, it glitches regularly. I think my whole iPad is slower since downloading this game.
- [R14] Farm Town Great game: It would be great if you could put more animals to make more product on different animals meat and milk, so on like crabs, lobsters, more different kinds of fruits, vegetables.
- [R46] Farm Town Farm Town without the story line: I miss Farm Town the way is was on FaceBook, where you could build farms, plant, plow move items from one farm to another and sell your goods . I don’t like having to follow a story line, click on the things it directs you to click on to progress through the app. If you could build something similar to the original it would be so much more fun and relaxing. I d
- [R3] Farm Town Hate tutorials!: I came back to the game after many years and now I have to deal with tutorials WICH I hate so much
- [R6] Farm Town I’m so confused: On the special offer board you get gems for free, then watch a video to get the other free things, then get free coins but the next option just has “8” next to it, I’m confused because when I click on it, it does nothing. Is this the subscription only button or?????
- [R21] Farm Town Confused: I need someone from app support to acknowledge that I have asked a question about their game please. I have already sent a review stating that I can’t figure out how to do something and I need help figuring it out please !!!! I want to get the pig and peacock and it says that I need to build a yard first but I don’t know how to go about that . Help please !!!
- [R30] Farm Town Not bad: I like this game so far. It is a typical fun farm game. My big complaint is that when you go to make things it doesn’t tell you how long it will take to cook or what ingredients you need. I’m not sure yet if I will keep this game or delete it
- [R2] Farm Town Crashes: Cool game put everything I try to buy and ova the puff pen it freezes and I have to force close the app and do my last few actions over again. Annoying. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled. Same problem. Lmk when it’s fixed I’ll play again.
- [R7] Farm Town Need help: My game have problem.when i want to add new animals the game is stop and get out.please help and ok this problem
- [R10] Farm Town Expensive: Game kept crashing and cost me 9 diamonds to cut 1 tree not realizing it was just crashing. After I refresh the app, the tree finally disappeared. You must pay to advance and tree have to be cut twice … not worth it.
- [R16] Farm Town Game: Your game is broken. It is asked me to put chicken food into the factory and make it two out of three of them.. and I have done that six different times and yet the task is not done because yet it keeps telling me to say do the same thing and it does that with other factories. Your game is broken. I have asked you guys to fix this before you guys said you’re gonna fix it you about it and yet
- [R13] Farm Town Don’t get this game: Don’t get this game unless you want to spend money. It’s not technically free. I loved this game at first. Can’t get enough storage unless I pay actual money. And all the diamonds I get to pay for extra storage goes into a piggy bank that you have to pay money for.
- [R15] Farm Town Fun but there’s a problem: It’s super fun! Until your silo is full, yet you still don’t have the needed supplies to make needed items. You’re basically stuck with no way to collect anything else and no way to make anything. The real farm town was never this restrictive and pushing you to spend money to advance
- [R18] Farm Town Good, but be ready to spend....: It’s a VERY good game. One of my favorites out there but if you really want to keep your farm up & make it look good without a bunch of dead plants & trees, be ready to fork out some money. Don’t get me wrong....I know everybody has to make money but, I just think $8.00 a week to be able to do what you need to do? Come on! If it were $8.00 month, then it would defi
- [R106] FarmVille 2 Too many glitches: I finished my bonus round in the boat race. It didn’t go away, but made me do it again so now it shows me doing it two times when I already completed it do you think that they do anything? That would be a big fat NO! I’ve written to them about other glitches with screenshots and they do nothing not compensate me not fix it not anything.
- [R108] FarmVille 2 A few suggestions for the game: 1. I hope there's an interface where we can submit questions about game issues, or at least leave messages. Real-time replies aren't necessary. 2. I've collected a bunch of pickaxes that can only be stored in the sea warehouse, but I don't know where to use them. They just waste space and hinder task completion, making them quite useless. At the very least, provide a temporary storage space, like returning to the original storage location within a few hours. 3. Sometimes I need certain items but can't find them in the market, which affects the game experience. I feel my enthusiasm has been drained, and I don't really want to play anymore. · translated
- [R25] Farm Town Ability to water plants: I spent so much money on this game already, all the plants I bought keep dying after producing the harvest maybe twice and to water them is completely impossible, the feature is not available unless you purchase a membership and even though after you do you maybe able to water 1-2 plants to bring them to life. That is just crazy, and a rip off of my money. I have to keep b
- [R33] Farm Town Love the game but......: Glitchy. Can’t become VIP as nothing happens when I click on it. You really have to spend real money in order to grow your farm. Plots have too many trees and shrubs that need to be removed but you rarely get the needed tools to do so. Graphics are awesome and it is fun to play. But it is hard to justify spending real money just to plow the field and store the items. Sor
- [R61] FarmVille 2 No se puede conectar a Facebook: Buenos dias, tengo mi cuenta vinculada a Facebook y quiero volver a cargarla pero me aparece un error al tratar de hacerlo, no sé qué me recomiendan o que podría hacer… Es el mejor juego de granja pero ese error no me ha dejado jugar llevo 3 días intentando vincularla
- [R70] FarmVille 2 Horrible: In the last three days, your system has been horrible. You can no longer login via Facebook and no one is telling you anything.
- [R72] FarmVille 2 Pop ups!: You have to many pop ups every time you open the game to play. It is very frustrating and you need to change that. sometimes I just back out of the game because I’m tired of closing them down all the time!
- [R100] FarmVille 2 FREEZING AND SLOW GAMEPLAY: Since the Anniversary event FarmVille has become increasingly slow, game freezing and is slow to respond to scrolling. The Dev’s are overloading the game with 5-6 events going on at once. I have tried playing other games and those games respond normally and play normally. Therefore it isn’t my internet connection nor my IPad or the IOS, IT’S FARMVILLES FAULT!!! This is
- [R52] Farm Town Sad face: I was enjoying this game until I realized that the game detracted my progress. In granny’s living room it is really difficult to get enough green tickets to upgrade and I had made it to 22/27. But just now when I looked up, it detracted me to 21/27. The tickets do not reflect the change either. Also, side note: I like the idea of a subscription, but $7.99/week is ridiculous. You expect
