Here's my review of the demo, although I already bought the game.
All in all, a great game if you enjoy time mangament games, and even if you don't, it's also sort of like a hog game, a la Gardenscapes. Your job is to clean and restock your store and fill customers' orders in a timely fashion.

Here's my review of the demo, although I already bought the game.
All in all, a great game if you enjoy time mangament games, and even if you don't, it's also sort of like a hog game, a la Gardenscapes. Your job is to clean and restock your store and fill customers' orders in a timely fashion.
Pros: +The story is mildly interesting this time around, and I thought the multi-cultural aspect was kind of sweet (we'll see how it pans out later).
+ The graphics are nice and bright.
+There are two modes of gameplay, timed and untimed! Nice addition there. (I played in timed mode, so I'm not sure how the customers will react, i.e. if they'll still pitch a fit if you deliver your items too slowly.)
+There are many ways of picking up items.
#1: standard pick 'em up, place 'em down.
#2: drag the item to the customer
#3: pick up up to four items at one time, to fulfill multiple orders. Very handy!
#4: Right click on an item and it will automatically go to a customer.
My favorite method is the third. It gets things done much quicker.
+Another pro is the way the bonus bar works. I assume it gets harder as you go along, but I got a 53 bonus on my very first level.
+ I enjoy working to collect the stars needed to open new departments in the mall.
(Plus then you get to work with a whole new selection of items.)
So far, I don't see any cons. The music is so unobtrusive that I didn't even feel the need to turn it down. Show less

I recommend this game!

I just loved this game! I have enjoyed each of the Shop n Spree games, and this is no exception. The premise of this game is that the Island that is your home is almost completely Bankrupt. To save the Island, and bring the tourists back, they decided to turn it into a shopping Island. You start out with one store, and have to turn it into a mall by adding departments.

To save the Island, and bring the tourists back, they decided to turn it into a shopping Island. You start out with one store, and have to turn it into a mall by adding departments. I thought the mini games in this one were much harder than the last two games, you really have to pay attention to win them.
The sound was great, the music fun, and the graphics were terrific!
Overall, a wonderful game for all TM lovers! Enjoy. Show less

This is a good game with some interesting twists to keep you moving quick with add ons, wrapping, assembly, etc. Always wondering what new stores will pop up and with about 5 malls -- always something new. Thanks for the right click short cuts! Was waiting for a better TM game and this one is it.

This is a good game with some interesting twists to keep you moving quick with add ons, wrapping, assembly, etc. Always wondering what new stores will pop up and with about 5 malls -- always something new. Thanks for the right click short cuts! Was waiting for a better TM game and this one is it. I like that you can pick where to go during the levels, and that the upgrades don't always "recommend" your choice...that gets boring. Anyway, I like this one--finally!
Only problems are clicking vs dragging as the game uses both and sometimes the clicks are less accurate than I like...good thing there's a sales table. Show less

This is a very fun game. The graphics and sound are real good. The instructions are very clear to understand on how to play the game. The object is to build different malls. I was stuck on building the dragons. The time flew by and before I knew it the demo was over. I would recommend this game for both kids and adults.

I recommend this game!

This is the third instalment of the Shop-N-Spree games that is part Time Management and part colourful, fun HOG. This time you're on an island and create different malls with a variety of items from around the world.

The only downside, for me, is that the scenes can get a little busy with all the colour, but once you get used to where everything is, it's a fun and quite easy game to play. Perfect ...Show more

As I was reading the reviews I found some of them a little harsh, the game was exciting and the different cultural aspects was good. The right click function was handy to have when serving customers and the upgrades were sufficient. For those who love time management games, yes it is a stock standard game but there are so many out there at the moment it is hard to find one that you love. Great game to place, easy to navigate. Would recommend to those who like time management games and don't mind the fact that it is similar to most TM games Show less

I love the Shop-n-Spree games. This newest version did not disappoint. The mini games are a little difficult, and initially, the instructions confused me. BUT.....I have been playing the game now for about an hour..and I just love it. I didn't even wait to play my hour's free time. After about 10 minutes, I knew I wanted to buy it.

I recommend this game!

For me, this is by far my favorite and I think the BEST "Shopping Spree" of them all. This one is so much fun. I love all of the new changes like the assembly station, gift wrap, and the ability to upgrade stations. I'm glad to see other characters involved in each location other than just the customers. It's nice to have a few cheerful employees.

It's nice to have a few cheerful employees.

I'm glad that the developers freshened this one up just enough to make it a little more interesting. It's still has the same basic game mechanics and mini games like the others, but with a few additions. I've played the other two and I think this one actually developed whole "Shopping Spree" concept the best.

I would try the demo. But I just absolutely LOVE this one!!! Show less

I've read both reviews on this one. And I actually have found that I like this game. Just having finished the other two Shop n Sprees, this one is a little different. But so far, so good. Definitely a buy for me.

I recommend this game!
