I have all three in this series, and they are definitely among my favorites. This second in the series added things like showing the developer's scores for each round, and it feels like a huge achievement when you beat the developer. A game that makes me feel like a champion is a must have!
The graphics are crisp, colorful and fun. I don't need to tell you it's a time management/strategy game. What I will tell you is that the game is challenging, but doesn't make you want to tear out your hair (and who wants to have to buy hair restoring products because of a computer game?!).
Each one in this series has sufficient additions and differences to make it worth the purchase. This one is a definite steal at $2.99. Get it!
I recommend this game!

I like this series. The graphics are lovely and it's an enjoyable game. The first time you play it takes a while to figure things out because, as some other reviewers have said, instructions and hints are not always clear. However, once you know how they do things the frustration level goes down!
My one caveat is that I find the games a little short. It's definitely worth a Daily Special price.
I recommend this game!

I'm kind of on the fence with this one. I like the bright colors of the graphics. It makes a nice change from sooty fog! Some of the tasks are different from the norm, which is a nice change. The story is okay, but I never buy a game on the basis of just the story.
One tip - don't do the tutorial. I tried that first, and got stuck on the second stage (as did one other reviewer). I got out and entered a new profile. Then I declined the tutorial, and managed to get right through the second stage.
All in all, I'm still thinking about whether I want to buy it.
I recommend this game!

Wow! This game took me by surprise. It was pure chance I found it, but now I'm hooked.
The graphics are outstanding. The colors are spot on, and the dynamic nature of the scenes adds so much. I'd use some of them as wallpaper on my computer, they are so beautiful. The game is fun, but also relaxing. At the end of a busy day it's a great way to wind down without being a couch potato!
I recommend this game!

If you liked the first two Island Tribe games you are going to love this one! Unlike some game designers, the designers of this series are not content to sit on their laurels and bring in the bucks by skating through sequels. There is always something new in this series, and this time is no exception. For example, there are new items in the landscapes of Island Tribe 3, but most of all there are new tasks that are very funny. Wait until you see the islanders rolling the crocodile - I laughed out loud!
The challenge levels are great, the game is fun, and it's definitely worth the money!
I recommend this game!
