"It has the likeness of sim city, but more manageable."
Version: Build-a-Lot 1.1
Pros
I like the whole object of the game. It reminds me of the sims, but it's a shorter version. The tasks are clear and easy.
Cons
While I like the game overall, it would be more interesting to have cars drive by on the road. Some kind of added feature.
