City-building genre always enjoys high popularity due to its addictive content. Players own a city where requires them to be responsible for city management and development. With delicate graphics and relaxing music, Big Business is a well-designed city-building game developed by Game Insight and published by 6Waves.
Big Business offers you the chance to develop your city from a vacant lot to a metropolis after much effort. As the name implies, not only does the game emphasize overall design of the city, but it also focuses on running the prosperous business. Covering such fresh elements like ecology, transportation, electricity and more, I believe that Big Business deserves your attention.
According to the personal preferences in design, you portray a blueprint of city development and then manage your urban planning. There are five types of constructions: residential houses, industrial facilities, services, entertainment and decorations. You can’t build only one type of the constructions because they depend on one another. For example, if you want to start a business, you will construct the industrial facilities. But first of all, all the facilities require electricity, enough population as well as a well-balanced ecosystem.
Generated from Power Station, electricity is a fundamental energy power for Mechanic, Unique Goods Store and industrial facilities. In order to establish a larger city, you need more stations. Houses are used to increase population. When your city reaches the max population, you need to build entertainment to increase the happiness point. After that, more people will be attracted to live in the city.
Furthermore, ecology is also one of the most essential elements in the game. Trees and flowers can be used to either beautify your dream city or allow you to expand your business by adding more industrial facilities. Sometimes, the landscape in Big Business doesn’t fit for putting up some buildings so you are able to change the landscape, including grass, sand and water. Most of the buildings can be built on the grass while others like Rescue Tower can be built on the sand. Therefore, remember one thing: before developing your city into a metropolis, you should keep the balance among growth, citizens and nature.
Another interesting feature is the real-time clock. Keeping track of the current time, your city varies from day to night in Big Business. When it returns to daytime, the city is bustling with authentic animations like pedestrians, children, and reapers. When it goes to nighttime, it is dark and the neon lights are shining bright. That must have been the highlight of Big Business.
If you want to earn money fast, you build more industrial facilities or upgrade the facilities for more contracts. However, you need to transmute the different products into finished goods with several steps. Take dough as 
an example, you use flour and milk to make dough, which can be checked out from the ingredient list. The first step is to produce grain in the farm along with milk in the ranch. Next, the grain can be ground into flour in the milling plant. Afterwards, transport the products to the confectionery plant and mix them to make dough. Finally, sell the finished products for a higher price in the supermarket.
Transportation is one of the most important parts in Big Business. In order to present a real feeling of logistics, you are required to purchase garage for various vehicles to dispatch the related goods. The ordinary trucks are used for farm products while milk tanker are used for milk, trash tanker for trash, timber tanker for woods as well as gasoline tanker for oil products.
It is necessary to say something about the cost and roadways. When you start your business in the beginning stage, you should man
age your expenses in a better way with the budget. Otherwise, you will have cash flow problems and even cannot afford to buy a truck. Besides the cost, roadways are another basic element in Big Business. If the roads are smooth without any damage, your trucks can have an easy travel to transport the goods. In a word, Big Business is a simulation game where tests your business ability through the process of resource management, budget balance and city planning.
Like many other simulation games, Big Business has an achievement system. If you complete the achievements in friendship, city development, ecology and more, you will be awarded some special buildings and monuments unavailable from the in-game item shop. It is really fascinating because the achievements not only give you a big reward of EXP and coins, but also show off your splendid results in Big Business.
Big Business is really a fabulous city building game with so many attractive elements. Emphasizing the topic of ecology, the game gives its players the viewpoint that how the city growth coexists with environment and urban space. Build your own metropolis in Big Business, a dream city of economy and happiness.
