From Alladania, "Oh, the irony of playing a game about flipping houses when the real-world market for such endeavors has basically tanked. If you really have a hankering for buying a house, upgrading the innards and selling it at a profit, all without any sweat or real financial commitment on your part, Build-A-Lot is the game for you. Actually, Build-A-Lot has more to offer the budding real-estate mogul than the average do-it-yourself house-flipper, but in either case, it's addictive fun."
GPT: "Nintendo’s recent trend of re-releasing full retail games through digital download continues with Mumbo Jumbo’s Build-A-Lot real estate simulation for the Nintendo DSi. It’s become common place to see titles that were released ten, fifteen and even twenty years ago get the digital download treatment, but seeing a game that just hit the Nintendo DS a couple years ago become a downloadable title is interesting. It shows just how much Nintendo is really embracing digital content."
Ever wanted to built a town? Mumbo Jumbo’s Build-a-lot is the answer. There are two modes: Career and Casual. You start out in the career mode where you must complete certain goals before you can move onto the next level. The Tutorial shows you what must be done to move up in levels. You will meet with various people from each of the “towns” who will tell you what needs to be done.
Given that just about everyone who did this in the 'real' world is losing money at present, Build-a-Lot allows budding property tycoons to flex their building muscle. This has already been a huge hit on the PC and Mac but how does this miniature version stack up? You can find out what DS-x2.com's Andrew thought by checking out his review.
