not my thing.
I have enjoyed this since I was very young. I recall some bugs, and things being a bit awkward for a while after moving to the second island, but the good outweighs the bad.
I have owned this since it was originally released, and it has provided untold hours of enjoyment. Strengths: imperfections, replayability, sounds, design and humour. Weaknesses: its age + programming restrictions. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys creating, failing, redesigning, succeeding in their gameplay.
There's something here, but the mechanics need tweaking. Heat rises too fast, minions die to easily in globe, but you need minions to make money. IDK, just kind of too-punishing and slow to get rolling.
PRETTY GOOD FOR 2004
Old game now, but fun and easy to get into. Offline and singleplayer is great when you arent trying to socialize.
