Finally, another great game from Build-a-Lot!
This one is awesome, as the colonial house is a remake of the Amityville horror house. Too bad they did not use the Psycho house for the Victorian.
I am not a fan of hidden objects games, therefore I look forward to these building games which unfortunately are few and far between these days!
If you are a Build-A-Lot fan, go for it!

This game is so much more realistic with normal goals and tasks and the graphics are crisp and detailed. The tutorial does an excellent job explaining the basics of the game so even a novice first timer will quickly learn how to play. You will collect rent on houses you own and some houses need painted and you get to choose the color! Curb appeal needs to be high and you may need to upgrade a house with 1-3 stars to get a higher rent amount. You can buy existing houses and if there are many houses in the area for sale you can offer them less than the asking price, and you can sell houses to get more money. Some houses need repaired and you must order materials and workers. I have already bought this game, I was so impressed with it, so check it out it's a good one! Show less

I've always loved the Build-a-Lot series and this one doesn't disappoint.
Same premise as the previous installments. Always nice graphics and the ambient music is good as well.
The storyline is not much to talk about but it's not why I play this game.
You'll have fun playing this one!
I recommend this game!

Weird title, I know.
What I mean is that this game is not scary but it is as addicting as the rest of the Build A Lot franchise-another great game.
Personally, I am an experienced player and this additional challenge was exciting and fun, although I would suggest starting at the beginning of the various games as you will enjoy it most.

At first, I thought that I wouldn't like the game mainly because of the storyline. Mostly these stories would be more for HOG not TM but I really enjoyed this. Love the graphics and the music.
