Eco friendly green technology and living are the way forwards, and games like Plan It Green are designed to encourage this philosophy - but does the game live up to its price tag?
Plan It Green seems like a smashing game - and the concept of a "green Sim City" is certainly an attractive one. Available from the National Geographic website, Plan It Green comes with a free 60 minute trial for you to try out some of the early missions. This is a great feature and one which is becoming increasing common among independent video game producers. It's great for giving a good flavour of the game and determining the difficulty level, and wIth a relatively small 53 MB download it gives a great sample of what Plan It Green is all about.
JIG:
"It may fall short of presenting the ultimate in eco-friendly building, but Plan It Green does its part to raise awareness. Beyond its message, however, is a great-looking casual building sim that shaves off frustration and easily competes with the well-established franchises already on the market."
This game is probably a day late, given Earth Day was yesterday, but none the less, players have the chance to turn their blah, hum drum, brown city into a green, beautiful city in Plan it Green.
On top of bringing back the beauty to the city, players will also make their cities earth friendly. Players can build eco-homes and apply green updates to their homes and factories. The new green out look will bring clean jobs to your city and make the industries more green as well.
