Janes Hotel 2 Family Hero 

 

I have not gotten to play a time management game in some time. In fact I do not remember hearing much from G5 Entertainment. Well September is a big month for them with three releases. Jane's Hotel 2 Family Hero is a hotel themed time management game. Players have to get loans to purchase back grandma's hotel chain. Then work in the hotel to pay off the loan. Grandma must not have been following Dave Ramsey's money advice to get into that pickle. Or maybe she trusted some corrupt people.

Visually the hotels range drastically. It all depends on the country. Some are better looking than others. The images are small, but there is some great details. My biggest complaint is important pieces of equipment break way too often. Sure there is a guy to repair them, but come on. Of course these things are random, just like what the client will want. The color scheme in Jane's Hotel 2 Family Hero works for an iPhone/iPod Touch game.

Elevator music is making a come back. What is next Elvis music? I better keep my mouth shut because someone in our millions of readers may decide to put that into an upcoming game. With all the joking aside I enjoyed the music in Jane's Hotel 2 Family Hero. It fits the game, and the special effect sounds are fabulous.  It is great to hear a sound that equals the item being used.

Currently Jane's Hotel 2 Family Hero is selling for $2.99. This is a very fair price for this app in my opinion. There are enough levels to keep gamers busy for a week or two. The challenge in Jane's Hotel 2 Family Hero is sufficient enough that you will not always be perfect. I did find that Jane's Hotel 2 Family Hero is very lenient at times, and it is not difficult to hit expert. Paying attention to who needs what and who asked first is important. I had fun playing this game and love the concept of paying off a debt.

The biggest lesson I learned in Jane's Hotel 2 Family Hero is to pay off debt. Do you know how many people are suffocating under debt these days? Too many. It has even applied to countries that need to spend less than they bring in. This is a simple concept. If you do not have the money then don't spend it. Credit cards are small loans with huge penalties attached. Stay away from them.

Jane's Hotel 2 Family Hero is a fun little time management game that does the genre proud. It is a little different take on the genre, but it is fun nonetheless. I like how Jane's Hotel 2 Family Hero is approachable by more members of the family. Many other time management games get too difficult too fast. G5 Entertainment has the model down pat. I hope to see sequels in the future.
