I LOVE this game! I remember playing the first one in this series, and it was a fun game. Now this one is even better!! In addition to completing levels and getting Gold Times (that includes getting a Scarab and rebuilding your city), it now comes with cool bonuses that can, at later levels, come in very handy when you're trying to get that Gold Time and win more Scarabs!! I loved the theme, the storyline is funny at times (espcially the Cutscenes!) and the extra challenge that comes in on the later levels (trying to win those Gold Times on those later levels will be tough!).

When I played the hour demo, I played 5 levels and got all 5 of them Gold Times (and I loved those bonuses that popped up on the fourth level -- what a surprise!), and right now I almost have 2 temples restored, 265 Scarabs and used 2 bonuses that both cost 30 Scarabs.

There is a trick to getting those Gold Times and winning those Scarabs: Just work on your goals displayed at the top-right corner (place your Quarry in an empty lot near your workers hut -- it saves time getting your stones!), keep building your houses and upgrading them, and keep collecting resources to get your tasks done, and you'll easily win the Gold Time!!

But on the later levels it is not always that easy getting that Gold Time, so do not despair if you don't get it on the first try -- just replay the completed level to improve your time -- it only gets more challenging the further you go on.

But it's still fun to play, even if you don't like the extra challenge of getting the Gold Times. To those of you who read my review, take the time to play the hour demo and see it for yourself -- it's worth the try! I definitely would recommend everyone(or anyone) to buy this game if they like the fun factor or the extra "challenge(s)"!! Show less

I recommend this game!

I love this game. I love the series!

Listen closely, kids... There was a time when BFG used to give us games like this like every other day, instead of a HOG every single day. I know you don't believe me, but it's true! Also, the 'M' in Mtv used to stand for 'music'. That was even longer ago. Brings me back to those good ole' days!

I recommend this game!

I liked the original version of this game, but I absolutely love the Pyramid Builder's 2! The storyline is engaging, the graphics are terrific, and the music definitely Egyptian. Most importantly the game itself is great. It builds in difficulty as do all time management games from easy to difficult. I found it challenging to get the gold after the first 10 levels or so.

I do not usually go 'ga ga' over any TM but this one is way into the 'fun' factor. All hints are great if u look at what u have to accompolish each level. Graphics are ..well...outstanding. Music was fine ... well...so good I did not notice so was not annoying!...It is timed...but...can finish level or go back later if u are a 'gold digger'!...Have not purchased the first two of this ...Show more

At first try, this game is so busy, it makes you dizzy! lololol
I bought version 2 bcos the graphics are much larger than the original I tried in the trial game.

Now that I'm getting the hang of it, I'm addicted. So much going on & that little thief is a real pip! A master of disguises.
What a sneak, you have to keep your eyes open for that one. lolololol

I purchased the game yesterday and didn't want to stop playing for hours. I like the graphics and animations, and I even like the music (most games I turn the music off). I own the original, and I like this one even more. The bonuses are a great feature that add to the fun.

I recommend this game!

I love TMs and this is one of my favourites. I like the addition of scarabs to pay for the temple as it is all the more attractive to receive the gold trophy to build the temple at the end of each level. Graphics are good, little dancing men at the finish are cute, I enjoy it just as much as the first.

I recommend this game!

I really like this series, I've played the three games of the series and I really enjoy it. This one is a great improvment from the 2 first games. At least, try it!

This is another great game in the TimeBuilders franchise.
The tutorial clearly explains the gameplay, great if you are a newbie to the genre, but also moves along quickly enough that those who are adept shouldn't find it too tedious.
The game progresses nicely with enough upgrades, new buildings etc to keep it fresh, the storyline tying it together.
The levelling is perfect - each level requires more skill than the last to get that gold pyramid. Some levels required multiple attempts and I love the challenge. This game also has what too many time management games lack (and what I think is a must to be 5 star) - it requires real strategy and skill and flexibility in your approach. You can't just repeat the same actions level after level and expert to excel.
A nice additional element to your strategy is the option to use the "scarab currency" to choose between different helpers for each level. [Note: to try the level without a helper click the cross in the top right hand corner - took me a few levels to notice this].
Note: I always play with all sounds muted so offer no opinion on music/sfx. Show less

I recommend this game!
