Publisher's Description
From Eidos Interactive:
Think - Fun, Sun, Sand, and Sex and you've captured what Beach Life is all about. Set against a variety of exotic locations around the world, players must fight it out to build the best possible holiday experience for their guests and then watch the results. Along the way they'll experience all the joys and the headaches of a typical package holiday; from romance and overindulgence to dodgy water and half-built apartments. Beach Life offers the gamer something different to what they've ever experienced before. Offering the planning and management options of a Tycoon style game with the people watching intrigue of The Sims. Players must build and run their island whilst reacting to the needs of their guests and then watching the hilarious and sometimes disastrous consequences.

"FABULOUS! FANTASTIC! & FUN!"
Version: Beach Life 1
Summary
I love this game. Even in it's simplicity, I just love it. It's quite addictive. If you just want something to keep you pleasantly entertained, without having to think too hard, this is the game. I love it.

"Interesting..."
Version: Beach Life 1
Summary
Not a bad game, but definitely not intuitive. Also lacks some of the functions that the other tycoon type games have, like the ability to rotate structures before you place them, and an ability to rotate the screen so you can see what's behind things. As well, the 1 hour demo is nowhere near enough time to get anything but the vaguest feel of what the game is like - a game like this needs a demo with unlimited uses (with gameplay imited to say, 1/2 an our at a time).

"BIG program!"
Version: Beach Life 1
Summary
This one took me about 90 mins to download over Roadrunner and another 30 mins plus to install. If either process seems to stall, hang in there. BeachLife has a steep learning curve, unless you're already experienced with such building programs.
