I can totally understand both the good and bad reviews. l Love Kate's fix a lot adventures of fixing, renting, washing, and selling cars, while trying to build up her empire. If you're not a fan, you're not going to like Set Sail Either. The gameplay is nearly identical using ships instead of cars. At first when I played I was disappointed and frustrated with the higher level of challenge (I nearly always got all gold stars the first time I played through each of the three Kate's fix it up games), but then I realized perhaps a challenge is a bit refreshing. For those who said the goals weren't clear, I agree with you to some extent...I made several time wasting errors over-upgrading ships or sending too many out to sea when I should have been selling or selling too many I should have been sending out to sea. After playing all the way through a couple times, I was able to figure out a winning pattern for most levels, but I still have a few more I'm trying to figure out how to get more than one "anchor" star for. All in all, I give all of Kate's fix-it-up car games 5 stars and this one 4 stars for being a little more challenging than I like, and for not being quite as clear as how to reach the level goals on some of the levels. I hope to see a Set Sail Part 2 and Part 3 in the coming months/years with improvements, as IMHO Kate's Fix-it-up Part 2 and Part 3 were each better than the previous. I plan on playing Set Sail over and over again until I can get the sense of accomplishment of finishing every level w/ 3 treasure chests, even if I have to go online to find a walkthrough to give me some hints. =)
I recommend this game!
