Beach Life

In the game, players assume the role of a manager for an island holiday resort. Beach Life is a business simulation game in the same vein as Theme Park and RollerCoaster Tycoon. In the game, the player manages an Ibiza-style holiday resort, complete with themed clubs, bars, and surf shops. Their progress on a resort can be hampered by hazards such as shark attacks and thunderstorms, all while they build attractions and cater to the needs of the guests. The music can be changed in-game via a music player located in the bottom right of the screen. Beach Life was developed by Deep Red Games, a studio which had developed the critically well-received Monopoly Tycoon soon before the release of Beach Life. After attending a press presentation on the game, PC Gamer's editor-in-chief Rob Smith was impressed with Beach Life's isometric graphics and compared them to Commandos 2: Men of Courage. However, the game is not without a wide fanbase, who appreciate the kooky sense of humor that the game has and its youthful, energetic spin on business management compared to most other games of the same genre.[citation needed].
