Big Bang West II
I love building games. But, this game, just doesn't cut it for me.
The graphics are ok. The buildings are a nice size. The music is not western - IMO - but it's not annoying and quite upbeat. The voiceover is rather dull - very ...... same tone that never changes,
The gist of the game is to build towns out west to increase "points" by building houses, ranches, hiring workers, sheriff, etc. There is a tutorial in the first level.
The problem I had with this game is that I couldn't build what I needed when I hit the higher levels. I had workers but was told I needed to hire workers to build a gold mine or store. I needed to build a store (3 actually) but was told I needed workers - I had 3 already! I was instructed to build houses to increase my money income but then was told to build a gold mine if I needed money ..... but a gold mine was unavailable. What the heck????? And NO help at this point.
For these reasons, and many more, this game is not a purchase for me. I don't even recommend it for beginners. But, for those who liked the previous game in this series, or if you'd like to give it a try, hitch your wagon and go west!
Overall Impression: Go West, young man (or woman) but go further west than this mess of towns.
