I thought I'd try out a "Monument Builders" game out of curiosity as I am a fan of time-management games. However, I also enjoy games that carry some connection to their title within the game-play as opposed to simply providing a theme around which to base yet another generic t-m game.
I was disappointed that the game play didn't actually contribute towards a physical construction model of the Empire State Building. Effectively, you simply have to complete each level in order to effect a progression in the building of the title. There's no real connection between the inter-level scenes and the actual gameplay in each level.
The various facts about the building in the title are interesting but, overall, I felt disappointed that you don't see your gaming efforts actually leading to the growing build of the Empire State building. In truth, I'd like to see a game where you're delivering materials - both raw and pre-constructed - to the main construction site itself and be able to view, in-game, the fruits of your efforts and watch the ESB actually going up and up...

I don't recommend this game.
