Beach Life (PC)

I’d just completed Zoo Tycoon and found it very clever but a bit monotonous, leaving me in the mood for a fun game so I chose Beach Life from Eidos Interactive. Similar to all of the management games you start with an allotted amount of money and build, but with this game you develop a series of holiday islands and try to keep the regularly incoming guests happy so that the money flows and they don’t leave grumbling. It says on some sites that there are 14 levels, but there are 12 levels that have been built up to varying degrees and you have to complete them. With all you have a hotel, a power generator and a complaints hut. With your money you can ...  Read the complete review

I love this game, It is just like many tycoon games, You are the owner of a holiday island and must build the island up and help the guests have a great time whilst also maintaining the site. The gameplay is very simple however the islands are very small and differcult to build as you have limited space. The game moves quickly and the controls are differcult at first. I have spent many of hours of this, there are little cheats for the game. Once you have done a few islands, there is little room for extras and the game becomes boring. Not sure if you can add things or not but becomes repitive. The game is in the Sold Out range. Recommended to teen's and studends with lots ...  Read the complete review

I am a HUGE tycoon game fan and I am often found searching the internet for new ones. I came across this game and took an instant like to it. It ticked all the right buttons for tycoon games i.e. varied game play, scenarios and sandbox mode. The thing that appealed to me most was the humour element of the game, one example is changing the stregnth of the alcohol to encourage them to get drunk. You are basically challenged to set up various beach resorts on islands by building resort buildings, attractions and hiring resort staff to help the tourists who arrive by cruise ship. You need to keep the holiday makers happy and attract more guests to your ...  Read the complete review

Even though this game is unrecognised and cheap it is actually quite fun to play if your like games such as The Sims, Theme hospital, Tropico etc. There are about 10 levels to play, but you have to complete each of them one by one. In the levels you have to build a holiday resort, and each level has different goals to complete. There is stuff like making everyone on the island drunk and happy and horny, to saving people from the sharks, to keeping the place beautiful and clean from litter. You have a choise of buildings to plot like hotels, bars, souvenier shops and you have to hire cleaners, mechanics, builders aswell. The game is worth a play and can last a good few ...  Read the complete review

This is my favourite game of all time, can be found rather cheap but finding it in the shops is difficult, and very rare, usually found in the Sold Out range. It would be what you would call a Tycoon gam,e find an island make a resort, keep the water clean and the people alive! Sharks are around! plant casinos and arcades around your resort as well as a party cruise ship and a beach disco, dont forget the gift shop for those happy customers and a burger bar set up right on the beach! with this game you can make the resort of your dreams gather as many customers as you can and take it to the next level! put butlins to shame with your ace ...  Read the complete review
