Fix-it-up 80s Meet Kates Parents

SCORE: 72

Fix-it-up 80's Meet Kate's Parents takes us back to the 1980s. We learn all about Kate's parents. Yeah I know that was probably apparent from the name of this app. Maybe I just like to state the obvious, okay? The formula from the previous games is present. We purchase cars cheap, fix them up, paint them, trick them out, and then sell them for much more money. Remember to keep a good stock of parts.

Fix-it-up 80's Meet Kate's Parents is a time management game - which is one of the things G5 Entertainment is known for. The car theme is interesting, and it does teach basic economics. Stop me if you heard this before - "buy low, sell high." Plus the characters in Fix-it-up 80's Meet Kate's Parents improve the product to put a better one back into the market.

The graphics in Fix-it-up 80's Meet Kate's Parents look good. I enjoyed looking at the cars, and all the little people. Okay so maybe that did not come out right. The people are sorta smallish if you know what I mean. Wow did we look like that in the 1980s? Certain styles are historic if you know what I mean. A few of the female characters have specific body parts accentuated. I did not need that.

There are forty-five levels in seven locations. Plus Fix-it-up 80's Meet Kate's Parents also contains seven free play levels. I like the free play levels much more than the ones that have me attain specific goals. If you like time management games, then you can find some neat things to the flow of Fix-it-up 80's Meet Kate's Parents.

Fix-it-up 80's Meet Kate's Parents does a wonderful job of easing the player into this game. The challenges become more difficult as time progresses. And as you continue to complete levels. I found fun in purchasing, fixing, and improving vehicles before selling them. I am not so thrilled with constantly having to purchase parts. This gets old, and slows down the pace.

I may not be thrilled about purchasing parts, but it is very realistic in this automobile economical educational app. The basic concepts of how a business works is found in Fix-it-up 80's Meet Kate's Parents. I am thankful that I was allowed to review Fix-it-up 80's Meet Kate's Parents. This is neat little game that will interest families. Especially those that enjoyed previous games in this franchise.
