I am torn about weather to recomend this game or not. On the plus side, the game gets increasingly complex as it progresses. There are lots and lots of mini games to play, including dancing, serving food, helping tourists take pictures and find objects, and serving tourists on the beach. On the negative, the game never really gets more challenging. If you are looking for a challenge, this is not the game for you. If you are looking for a relaxing game, or are a new time managament player, you might like this one.

I have to say I really loved this game! It is very similar to the "farm frenzy" games, but the storyline, graphics, and cinematics are amazing! You play as the vamipre race, and make weapons to destroy the zombie race. Some of the reviews say this game is "slow," but they are refering to the initial speed of harvesting and selling. You have to purchace upgrades and speed up your harvesting if you want to get gold (or even silver) on a level. I found that if you are playing to get gold on a level, it is extreemly challenging!
I recommend this game!

This was a really fun, relaxing, and beautiful puzzle game. However, in the 1 hour trial I got through 38 of the 54 levels. That should give you a clue that this game is very short as well as very easy. All you really do is pick a puzzle piece and rotate it into 1 of 4 directions. You have to get all of the pieces lined up to pass the level. If it would have been a little more challenging and a little bit longer, I might consider buying it just for the beautiful puzzles and relaxing music.
I don't recommend this game.

Monotonous and no worth-while goals

While I am a fan of time-managment and cooking/serving games, this one was extremely monotonous. Once you develop a strategy for handling your customers (hint: think about not picking up money right away) you are basically doing the same thing over, and over, and over. The different types of food you can cook was fun, but the goals were almost non-existant. You either buy upgrades for customer patience or food price. Overall, there are much better time management and cooking games out there to play.
I don't recommend this game.

When I first played the demo of this game, it seemed too easy, but I went ahead and bought it anyway. Wow, was I wrong! Even having played all the build-a-lot games, this was quite a challenge! There are many features that differ from build-a-lot, and I found this one even more challenging. If you are a perfectionist that is looking for a gold star on each level, be prepared for a serious challenge!
I recommend this game!

I played the demo of this game, and the storyline and graphics were very entertaining! However, it was soooo similar to all the other "salon" type games that I'm going to wait until this is a daily deal... or until I run out of other things to play!

I must admit that I only played the trial version of this game, and decided not to buy it. I was a big fan of the first game, but this one didn't measure up to me. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and it really bothered me how you couldn't replay a particular "level" (i.e. each goal) to get a star on it. Instead, you had to replay the entire zone, which was at least 3 hours. I think I'll wait for this one, there are lots of other games out there to try!
I don't recommend this game.

After playing the first hour, I wasn't sure if I would like this game, but I bought it since it was a daily deal. I must say, the levels go a little slow (i.e. you build and wait for cash to come in, then repeat). However, the game does get quite challenging around the 5th or 6th level. Also, there are 12 fairs to complete and each one takes about an hour, so there is plenty of gametime. Overall, it was a fun game, but I'm not sure I would have bought it if it wasn't the daily deal.

If you like Life Quest type games and harry potter, then you will love this game! It isn't quite as refined as Life Quest, but it adds a nice storyline and magic quality to it. You get to compete in duels and cast spells durring the day for extra fun!
I recommend this game!

When I played the demo of this game, I like it, but I wasn't sure if it was worth buying. I went ahead and bought it, and I'm glad I did. This game is not really a strict "time management" game; it actually has aspects of many different game types. It has a little bit of time management, and also the styling/design approach seen in sim type games. It has a little bit of puzzle game in it in the form of learning new recipes. However, it is mostly strategy on how to run your restauraunt for maximum profit, esepecially at higher levels. This game also has a good amount of gameplay, probably around 15-20 hours. Overall, if you like many different types of games, you will probably enjoy this!
I recommend this game!
