John Deere - American Builder Deluxe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The object is to select a scenario and complete the project within budget and time frame allocated. However, as simple as that sounds, the game appears to make game playing as difficult as possible to learn.
1. You must bulldoze land before you can grade it. You must grade it before you can build. However, if you go to place the icon for the building over the graded land, it will either be green or red. If red, you have not properly prepared the land for building. Nowhere in the documentation does the game state what EXACTLY must be done in order to successfully allow placement of a building to build.
In fact the document (electronic) states:
"Structures can only be built upon ground that has been dozed with the 350D Articulated Dump Truck and graded using the 872D Motor Grader. It does not say how to do this. Do you dump dirt ON the graded area, or dump dirt than grade it?
There are issues such as this throughout. Documentation could have been more detailed. If you want the land bulldozed, graded, then dirt dumped, it should state that.
Instead frustrated game players get tired of trying to learn what should be basic rules and give up on the game.
In addition, the documentation seems to be mixed with American Farmer. In American Builder Help Documentation it also states: Selecting Workers - To give orders to your farm workers...." This is not the farm game.
Seems someone may have used similar help files when writing these without thoroughly proofing.
All in all, a very difficult game to learn given the few instructions for detailed items to perform.
I do not recommend this game to anyone, and it is no wonder they offer this game with American Farmer Deluxe as a set. They probably cannot sell this one and have a satisfied customer.
