" If you like to garden, but don't have that green thumb necessary to grow anything, then this games for you. Although it's very time consuming, and if you're like me, and don't like to wait around for a game plant to grow, then all I have to say is stay away from it. Yes, it's fun to grow plants, but not good to have to wait a long time even on fast speed for something to grow. The graphics are alright, but nothing to write home about. Just like all of LDW's creations, the graphics and sound are along the same lines. I'd say try the demo first before flat out buying the game."
"I simply love this game. It's much more fun than Fish Tycoon. I haven't found all the magic plants yet, allthough I've played allmost constantly for the past week or so. The time flies when you play this game. You can try to make a lot of money, try to discover all the different kinds of plants or try to discover the magic plants. If you're affraid to get hooked on this great time stealer, then don't download the trial!"
" At home i dont have green fingers but this game changes everything!! Its really addictive. I want to play all day long i almost forget to sleep. I love to see there are so many different kind of plants en colors. I'm almost enjoying to do my own garden now!! Keep up bringing more of these games!!!!!"
" Searching for any news of Virtual Villagers 3, I was so pleased to stumble on this game the day it was released! Plant Tycoon brings a little bit of Isola (of VV and VV2 fame) back to the civilized world.
The game revolves around the plants of Isola, which you must nurture, pollinate and sell in your ever-improving nursery. As you collect seeds, you cross-pollinate to discover new species, always in search of the six lost magic plants of Isola.
Upgrading your equipment allows you to grow more delicate and valuable species, which in turn allows you to collect a greater variety of increasingly rare insects to add to your display. You can play a game of chance and see what you might stumble upon, or keep meticulous records in an attempt to discover all 500+ different plant species! As your plants are growing, you strive to keep them healthy with a range of fertilizers and plant food, insecticide and even secateurs to remove unsightly dead bits.
When plants are fully grown and seeds harvested, you can adjust the prices on each species before taking them to your nursery, where you sit back and - hopefully - watch them sell like hotcakes. As you improve your nursery, you attract more visitors, and as you discover magic plants, your visitors are more inclined to spend.
Plant Tycoon follows an approach similar to Virtual Villagers (I haven't played Fish Tycoon so can't compare) - you do a little work, then sit back and watch the results. The game continues while you're not at your computer, so you can plant seeds and come back later to check on them. Three game speeds (the fastest taking 40 minutes from seed to blooms) means stress-free entertainment that lasts for days!
Graphics: plant foliage and blooms are beautiful; people are similar to the awkward-looking Isola castaways.
Sound: so soothing, I'd leave the game open while not playing just to hear it!
Overall: very relaxing, stress-free. Definitely worth the money!"
" well, like the idea but found it very hard to get anywhere, will have to buy and keep trying, found this game rather addicive"
