The story takes place in a series of towns where the locals want to expand and improve their properties. As a contractor, you'll spend time in each town completing assignments that meet the requirements of the local leaders in order to progress to the next level. Completing the goals quickly earns a gold ribbon.In this real estate development simulation, the local leader of each town will give you a set of goals to accomplish as well as a time limit in which to complete the level. Goals can include building certain homes, raising the town's appeal rating, earning significant amounts of cash and more.
You will build various houses, buildings, shops and parks according to the goals of each level. The houses range in style from small bungalows to giant palaces, featuring brand new designs from the first game. You can earn rental income from the homes you build, or sell them for huge profitsSupport buildings, such as workshops and recycling centers, can help you along the way, providing deep discounts for training new construction workers and super cheap building materials. Other structures, like the coffee shop, can give you an added income. A variety of parks, including a play park for the kids and elegant Zen parks, increase the overall appeal rating of your towns while providing lovely scenic touches.
Many new structures are available in the sequel, which keeps the game fresh and fun all the way to the end. New home styles, parks, shops and buildings are all waiting to be unlocked as you progress. Also, each building now has a purpose - unlike some of the buildings in the first game, such as the museum and ice rink, which added nothing to the gameplay. Occasionally, some shops may post a "Help Wanted" sign which will require you to sacrifice a worker, further increasing the interactive nature of the buildings.
Unlike the first game, you won't be charged any taxes in Build-a-lot 2, which is a marked improvement, since it was very easy to get stuck with one property and taxes due with no way to earn income to pay them. The permit feature that allowed you to get additional upgrades for the houses is also gone, yet the workshop can be upgraded to have your workers build faster, which seems like a nice trade.
