However, the wooded lots are more expensive than the basic empty lots, and the difference is the natural resource growing therein, the wood itself.

Wooded lots are simply a variation on the old 'empty lot', an undeveloped piece of land waiting to be built on. That's not to say that there are no changes, as Build-a-Lot: On Vacation has added three things that twist the old gameplay in new and interesting ways: Wooded lots, Industrial Zones, and a Real Estate Office. Don't finish before the timer and you are stuck repeating the level until you get it right.įor those who are familiar with the series, Hipsoft has removed the disasters and buildings from Build-a-Lot 3 and the power grid demands from Build-a-Lot 4, leaving a stripped down classic version of the game familiar to those who loved Build-a-Lot and Build-a-Lot 2. Finish a level in expert time and you receive a lot of praise, finish before the timer runs out and at least pass on to the next level. It's your job to right the real estate-related wrong by creating new housing developments (and collecting rent on those properties!) and setting up shops, all while managing workers and resources to produce maximum profit. If you've never played any of the Build-a-lot games (and, seriously, this is the sixth in the series, so why haven't you?) the premise is a very basic one: begin with a town that has a limited amount of resources (money, labor, materials) and a need (more housing development, more tourism, more nature).

So what if the bottom has dropped out of the housing market, you can still get your thrills vicariously! The long wait is finally over and those who seek their thrills through building and development can finally get their kicks again! The latest in Hipsoft's popular Build-a-lot time management series has finally arrived Build-a-Lot: On Vacation and it's a wild ride through the adventurous world of real estate development.
