    With only the occasional shark attack and violent thunderstorm disrupting the tranquillity of island life, the game doesn't have the same pace or urgency as, say, "Theme Hospital" or "Theme Park," but the task of setting-up and running grand holiday resorts is challenging enough to keep you engrossed for many an hour.

    After you've figured out how to play the game through reading the manual and digging through the game to find the right tab or menu to push to get you what you want, you'll find yourself playing a cute and fun game.

    The only downsides are some cheap-looking graphics, and clunky interface work. But Beach Life is a cool alternative for us pasty-kneed Brits who couldn’t make it to the Balearics this summer.

    Not only does it add some realism to the genre but actually has some good economic development in it for those of you business types. Oh yeah and don’t forget the scantily clad vacationers.

    Entertaining, but little innovation to write home about.

    A fun little simulation title that gets naughty every once in a while. [Nov 2002, p.148]

    Some naughty action, but an all out fun game.

    Graphics are adequate, interface is a tad rough but workable. For the small price, its a fun game, but don't expect it to hold your Graphics are adequate, interface is a tad rough but workable. For the small price, its a fun game, but don't expect it to hold your interest after a few scenerios (indeed I am at the 6th one and bored a bit). The manual needs to give you a few more clues, but was surprised to see a game maker express concern for those with epilepsy (went through other game manuals and haven't seen this warning before!). Overall, I give it an 8, but that is mostly thanks to the Sandbox capability, not the Scenerios ;) … Full Review »

    Talk about squandered potential. The annoying aspects of this game over power its interesting and compelling nature.
