Guide Review - "Trailer Park Tycoon"

"Trailer Park Tycoon" is a game of management and problem solving. The management part consists of setting rent prices, building amenities, and choosing which trailers to build. The other major part of the game is decorating the lawns of tenants. Each tenant has a preference of old or new school, and flashy or trashy. There are 3 types of modes to play and 4 types of environments to play in, each with their own trailers and decorations.

Tycoon fans will appreciate the good amount of playing and building options and excellent graphics. The downside is the player cannot design the layout of the park. Despite this, the game has many hours of gameplay, and is entertaining. This is a must buy, if you've ever wanted to own your own trailer park.
