Guide Review - "Spring Break"
"Spring Break" is a mixture of tycoon-style and "The Sims." In order to have a successful resort, you have to manage your money and resources wisely. The resort guests don't just use the facilities you build, they have romances, get drunk, surf, and do whatever else you may have available. However, you can't just sit there and watch them explore the resort. "Spring Break" offers 12 missions. Three of which are training missions that give you an objective and let you figure it out. You'll only get so many hours out of the missions. The real gameplay lies in the sandbox mode. There you can play towards any goal you may have. "Spring Break" is a game that fans of "SimCity" and other tycoon-style games will enjoy and spend many hours playing.
