Paradise Island 2: Resort Sim

People, think about how many hours you spend playing this game. Then think about how much money you spend on it. It works out WAY cheaper than going to the movies; buying new books; etc. etc. The company that created this game IS NOT a charity. Of COURSE they created this game to earn money. Duh. I have played this game on and off for years. You are right, you do have to spend money to complete the big quests. So what?! The US$10-$20 you might spend a month is nothing compared to how many hours of enjoyment you can get from this game. The cost per hour is super low. No, I do not work for the developers. I am just a guy that understands that nothing is free. I’ll bet most of you don’t hesitate to drop $4 for a coffee that you drink in 10 minutes but god forbid you have to spend money on a game you spend hours on.

I've played long enough now to give a proper review. Like the title says, this is a good game, but there are issues and bugs that need to be dealt with. I've noticed two major bugs. The first one is random from what I can tell. Sometimes when you watch an ad, you don't get the promised award. The game goes into an endless waiting period, so you're forced to either cancel the operation or close the game and try again later. The second bug is during the speedboat mini-game. If you're playing it and you're phone brings up a message (like: you have 20% power remaining) the mini-game does not pause and generally you lose because you crash. Please look into and fix these bugs. The main gaming issue I have is how dependent on real money the game is if you want to progress quickly. I was given a 3 day challenge quest, and I found out it is a actually impossible to complete in 3 days without spending real money. I'm on my 6th day now for that quest, and I still have a lot to do. Please don't be issuing impossible challenges. If you can make these changes, I'll be happy to give a better star rating.

This is a very fun game, and very addicting! It is put on pretty well and the events keep you interested. However, most goals in this game require real money to complete. I play this game a lot every single day and still cannot complete most of the events without paying money. My biggest issue with this game is no matter how often you collect profits, buildings break down regardless. You can work for months to complete one building that collects a profit of 406,000 every 18 hours. When that building breaks down, it costs 2,300,000 to fix and 13.5 hours to fix. You collect from the building every single day and it still breaks down and costs you almost 6x the profit to fix? That is absurd to me. Even when you complete an event with real money to get a building to collect 120,000 profit it still costs over 800,000 to fix. They just want you to spend a lot of your own money even though you work so hard to get those buildings. Until they find a better system, I will not spend another dime on this game.

I’ve given the game 2 stars for a few reason. Most importantly, I recently contacted customer service regarding an issue I was having with a particular quest. I didn’t understand it and after reading multiple message boards on the same issue I decided to ask them what I was doing wrong. I sat down and wrote out my issues and questions. They asked for a screenshot back and I sent one and relaying the same issues again. They respond by saying nothing is wrong and to keep trying. NONE of my questions got answered and I felt like my issues didn’t matter and all I got was a vague response back. Nice customer service...not. Secondly, I personally don’t like how much it costs to expand your space. And when you do get to expand it’s only enough to add maybe 1-2 new buildings and then half of that space gets taken up because I need to have energy buildings. Then they make it worse by only being able to have a certain number of buildings of each type, limiting storage, and not being able to sell/delete all unwanted items.

This game COULD be good... But it's not. 1) Everything is so small and smooshed together that you can't click on what you want. When special event quests are happening this is extremely problematic as you waste resources you're trying to save by accidentally clicking on things floating around town when you're just trying to collect your coins from buildings. 2) The holiday event quests are impossible, and I'm saying that as someone who is able to devote logging into the game every hour to collect the needed resources. If you have a job, other hobbies, life in general, you will never finish the special quests. 3) I don't mind spending some money on games that are initially free. But I bought a $10 package to help me complete the new year quest and now I'm finding out with only 10 hours left that it's still not going to be enough. I'd have to spend at least $10 more to finish it and it is just not worth it at this point. Spend your time and money elsewhere, people. There are way better island games out there.
