5 out of 5 stars Loves "quick" games, but....   September 8, 2008
I bought this game as I like to have games where I can play for 1/2 hour or so at a time and get back into them easily. But....I found myself playing for hours so I could accumulate enough points to buy lots of goodies and move to the new islands. There is a good mxi of mini-games to play and the difficulties increase the more times you play. It's clever that you can click on the items you "bought" and the monkey will go use them. You will get plenty of play time for your money. Can hardly wait for Tropix 2 to be available on Amazon.


5 out of 5 stars great family fun   March 9, 2008
I downloaded a trial version of Tropix, and fell in love with the game. My daughter and son-in-law enjoy it, as do my grandchildren(ages 4 and 7). So I got them a copy for christmas, which they all argue over who is to play next. Then I ordered this copy for myself, and when the grandkids stay with me, we argue over who's turn it is to play. Great for the whole family, and we all have different favorite games. The variety and cuteness is the appeal for us.


4 out of 5 stars Kids love it!   February 16, 2008
This game is really a lot of fun. My 8-year old granddaughters have loved the games and furnishing their islands. The graphics are very good, and the little monkey is really cute and entertaining. The flaw is that there are not enough islands. Within a couple of days, they had purchased all the islands and all the furnishings. They continue to play the imaginative games, but keep accumulating $$ because there is nothing more to purchase. This product is worth buying for the screen saver alone. With additional islands or larger islands, it would definitely be about perfect!


5 out of 5 stars Great fun and variety   February 8, 2008
Tropix contains a fun variety of games, including word search, matching skill games, bowling, and (my favorite) parasailing monkeys. The tropical setting is a nice escape from grey winter days, too! You start out with several games and "earn" more games with sand dollar points, with which you buy islands and furnish them. When the island is complete, you get a new game to play(The parasailing monkey game is won by completing Mystic Beach, by the way). The graphics may look like this is more of a children's game collection but it provides fun challenges for adults as well. Most games are quick to play and the rules are simple. It's fun to furnish each island and watch the monkey play with some of the things you put there, such as hats and beach balls.


5 out of 5 stars Awesome   May 12, 2007
I love the beautiful graphics. The variety of games keeps you interested for hours. Buying islands and naming them is fun too. You can even use it as a screen saver! Love everything about it.
