Author's Review

Open for business is so much fun, there are so many options and so much to do. I posted this review here as well as on the regular windows version listed above because gameplay is the same, only difference is installation.

Bluewater village is the place where you can build your businesses. There are already people living there with their businesses but jump right in and get to work.

You can start home businesses. What I did with mine is on my house my downstairs was my business. I had the shelves stocked with toys, and flowers, and in the back I had a makeover spot and then I lived upstairs with my family, sort of like an apartment. I made all of my stuff average priced and was able to bring in a steady income.

The second option is to start a bigger business on a community lot. You can sell bigger items on a community lot that you can't sell at home. Also if you have the nighlife expansion you can build massive nightclubs and charge people an entrance fee and you can also have a car dealership which is pretty cool.

Depending on how well you do with your businesses and how much they grow you can also earn grants which can help your business grow even more. You can also earn talent badges which help you make more efficient product and sell it at higher prices.

The last thing I will tell you about is you can train employees once your business starts blooming and if they do well keep them, if they are bad fire them and hire another employee.

This game is definitely fun but can be challanging to build the business up, it will take several times probably but it definitely keeps you interested.
