Organization: Game Insight

All city-builders hearken back to the basics of Sim City, but Resort World hearkens more closely than usual. While the disasters don't seem to be included, the interface and open-ended goals of Resort World are right out of the older Sim City titles. Resort World asks you to do nothing more specific than build up a resort town that attracts lots of visitors from the ocean liners that pass through from time to time. You can't build a very wide variety of buildings at first, but you've got incredibly powerful customization and design tools right from the start. You can build little stone paths between buildings, upgrade your buildings, purchase fairly cheap flowers and trees for decoration, and even change your buildings' colors.
