   Build and project manage

   by Valentina, England - Apr 7th 2009

   I enjoyed this. I haven't played the first one but thought the demo as quite addictive and 90 minutes just wasn't enough. You can kind of get the jist of the what's coming next with every level but this doesn't really take the fun away as you still have to work things out. It's not rocket science it's satisfying. Bring on version 3...

   Good sequel to the original

   by eric t, USA - Mar 28th 2009

   I bought this second installment of build-a-lot on the basis of my good experience with the first version.
   
   Build-a-lot 2 delivers. It has a low learning curve like the first version, so you can download the demo and understand the basics of gameplay in about 10 minutes.
   
   The interface and rendering are smoother here than the first version -- it has definitely been improved. The graphics are slightly improved, with some buildings that animate.
   
   There are new building types and a few more bells and whistles, but the gameplay is essentially unchanged from the first version -- meet x criteria before x time has elapsed.
   
   The build-a-lot series has a very addictive quality that's level-based, so you can spend 15-20 minutes trying out a level and then quit the game to return to it in that place. It's a good mix between "casual gaming" and something that's more immersive.
   
   This was about 10 hours of gameplay for me; I had bought build-a-lot previously so I had some experience. Was it worth the $20? When I think of some of the ridiculous ways I've spent $20, build-a-lot 2 is absolutely worth the dough.
   
   Note that if you are an astute gamer, which I am not, you might be able to complete all the levels in a few hours.

   Challenging and Fun Game

   by Sarah Cavanah, USA - Nov 1st 2008

   This game is easy to get into but difficult to beat. It will keep you entertained for quite a while and even includes bonus levels once you've achieved the main goal. Lots of fun.
