Build-a-lot iPhone app Review

Description:

Based off of the popular computer game, the Build-a-lot iPhone app has become a very popular mobile game as well.  The game starts with you as a new real estate agent who is looking to transform neighborhoods and bring in the big bucks.  You will have the option of buying real estate, building houses, and upgrading them all the way up to mansions.  you can also flip houses quickly and make some good cash.  You can even branch out to start building ice rinks, fire stations, and movie theaters.

When you first start the game you will be able to follow the tutorials and in-game help so that you can get started fairly quickly.  Once you catch on to the overall grasp of the game it is easy to progress and get better.  You will be addicted to the gameplay and be constantly looking for the best deals on the houses in the neighborhood.  You will learn when it is smart to sell and also when it is smart to stay and collect rental income.

Features:

• There are two different types of modes that you can play in the game: They include the Career Mode and the Casual Mode
• In the Career Mode you will try and earn enough money to build or buy enough properties to meet your goal.  In order to do this you may have to sell other properties that yo originally bought

• There are 8 main neighborhoods that you will have access to play in and within those 8 main locations you will enjoy 35 different levels
• As you play and upgrade your homes you will be able to buy new blueprints and even unlock the option for the CostMart

Conclusion:

This is a game that is very similar to Sim City as you have to upgrade your homes and make a certain amount of money off them each year in order to progress to the higher levels.  It is a fairly simple game and is actually quite addicting to play.  The only downside is that the neighborhoods are quite small, and you don’t really have the option to expand your real estate expertise to a larger area of land.  Also, the ending is quite anti-climatic.   All the developers need to do is to take this idea, expand the locations, add some features, and they have a great overall game.
