FarmVille 2 is the long-awaited follow-up to one of Zynga’s most consistently popular social games FarmVille. This game is a fundamental rethinking of the farming genre’s gameplay with  3D visuals.




Like Farmville, FarmVille 2 casts players in the role of a custom avatar who has inherited an overgrown, abandoned farm. Through harvesting crops, caring for animals and purchasing various new items, it’s up to the player to take ownership of the farm, make it their own and make as much money as possible along the way.

Difference Between FarmVille and FarmVille - 2

Presentation
The first and most obvious difference is in presentation.  FarmVille 2 makes extensive use of 3D graphics.The change to 3D doesn’t make a particular difference to the gameplay in and of itself, but it does give the game a distinctive aesthetic that sets it apart from its predecessor.

Interacts With Farm
While FarmVille required players to click on everything they wanted to interact with one at a time, FarmVille -2′s “paint” system allows players to click and drag to select a whole group. There is no waiting for unnecessary progress bars to fill while actions are completed. 

Energy System Partially  Dropped
Farmville-2 has partially dropped the “energy” system that has blighted most of Zynga’s games over the years. Instead of every action costing energy, certain important actions require the use of a “water” resource. Initially water limit 30 units-water supply gradually regenerates over time. This limit may be expanded by completing various building projects found in land expansions. 

Game Resource
Crops
As expected, crop watering and harvesting will still be a core game mechanic. The short gameplay demo showed wa timelapse of players planting, watering, and harvesting crops. Confirmed crops include:
  • Corn
  • Carrots
  • Sunflowers
  • Wheat
  • Pumpkins

Crafting
The crops players harvest in Farmville 2 are used for more than just earning money. Players will be able to use these crops to craft basic items, which can then be refined and combined into more complex items. 

Animals
Also like the original Farmville, players will be able to purchase and earn money from a variety of animals. Confirmed Famville 2 animals include:
  • Cows
  • Goats
  • Chickens


Coins, Cash & Experience
Farmville 2 keeps the original's dual-currency system. Players earn coins through normal play and can purchase a premium cash currency with real-world money. As players complete actions they will earn experience points and level-up, unlocking new game content.
Notably, an energy bar has not been shown.
