Build-a-lot 4 Power Source
SCORE: 92
I found out about the Build-a-lot
franchise with Build-a-lot 3. Loved that little app. G5 Entertainment
knows when they have a good thing. So we now are able to experience
Build-a-lot 4 Power Source on the iPad. There is a diminished version on
the iPhone/iPod Touch but I am focusing on the iPad.
Build-a-lot 4 Power Source is a time management game. We have resources
to deal with. Things like money, materials, and happiness. There is a
Deadline bar that gives us only so much time for every level. We now
have to deal with a Power bar. If too much is pulling on the power in a
neighborhood then it is an immediate black out.
Build-a-lot 4 Power Source gives us ways to produce power too. Things
like Wind Farms. Those things are so ugly that they diminish the
happiness in a neighborhood. I can completely understand because I have
seen wind farms in person and they are hideous. I have always been a fan
of solar power. But its hard to get anyone to take me seriously on solar
power after Solyndra.
The whole power aspect of Build-a-lot 4 Power Source throws a new
wrinkle into the mix. Especially if our goal is to have so much
happiness in a neighborhood. There are also recreational buildings like
tennis courts that can be built as well. This help the happiness
skyrocket in a neighborhood.
Build-a-lot 4 Power Source includes a couple of different modes that
will interest families. Personally I love to go through all the levels
and meet all the goals. Others enjoy the casual mode. There are many
hours of fun in Build-a-lot 4 Power Source. I had a blast playing this
app.
I really enjoy Build-a-lot 4 Power Source and the levels it contains. I
would love to see this franchise include an entire city builder. Maybe
let us work on a neighborhood at a time until we wind up making an
entire city. I am very surprised that a sequel came so quickly. It is a
neat and pleasant surprise.
