Country Tales 2: New Frontiers

This game did not live up to the other similar games by this company. When you click on an item you need to purchase, there is no idea of what it costs to purchase the item unless you do NOT have the resources to purchase the item. You find out when you click whether you have the resources needed or not but that’s the only way to find out what resources are needed. We should be able to decide IF we want to spend that resource on the item BEFORE we spend our resources! EDIT: you can hover over the item to see what it will costs. Don’t love this though. Also, you have no way to see what resources you will need to destroy buildings, animals or people until you have removed whatever is blocking the path to get to those items. This doesn’t give time to prepare. Also, when you finish a level and it takes you to the main page, it takes you all the way back to level one and you have to scroll to get to the next level. This game was not well-thought out! Other than those things…great game play.

I can’t seem to find anywhere that says what the power ups that you earn in bonus levels do. One is extra time, but how much? One looks like extra money, but how much? Don’t know what the other two do. I do appreciate the games though, when they offer you the relaxed level. Sometimes I just want to mindlessly build things and play-it’s very frustrating to buy a game and then never finish it, because you can’t pass one of the levels. So thanks for that. I will probably never get through the hardest timed levels, you guys just make it too hard for us novices, but I will enjoy playing the relaxed levels.

The game play and features are very different from other games by this developer. It took me a little time before I caught on and then I began to enjoy the game. This is a nice addition to the family of games and one I’ll enjoy playing again and again.
