Playfish - Hotel City @ Facebook
Saw this game on Facebook sometime ago. At first, it did not catch my attention until I keep seeing the feeds posted by my friends saying "I'm hiring!". Seems like quite a number of my friends are playing it. So I guess I shall go and try out this game.
At first impressions, I thought this game is by some random developer until I saw the Playfish Logo and the banner from them. I mean, the style of this game doesn't really seems to be from Playfish. If you guys plays any Playfish games before.. You will notice that their game is really cute and the graphics are better than most of the flash games we played on Facebook or any other websites. Yea, I can say the graphics of this game is rather disappointing at first impression.(I dun mean disappointing in the sense of after lowering the quality but its really.. Not that cute, maybe because the characters are small =S) After looking at it carefully, you will realise some parts of the games reminds you of some of the game developed by Playfish. Below is a screen shot taken.
The human beings in this Hotel City game somehow has the skeleton of the characters in Pet Society, the way they wave and run it the same. The background of Hotel City is almost the same as the background in Restaurant City, it is of the same concept of having the Hotels in a street. Maybe because this game is still in the its Beta phase. Oh well.. Hope that will be more improvements on graphics in the future. For now lets put aside the graphical parts.
Basically, we just have to pay some amount of wages to your temporary stuffs. The amount will vary for the amount of time they are going to work. After paying, your hotel will start to get business. YAY! That is not everything yet. There will be customers going in automatically but there is also some Passerby A, B, C. What you can do to them is to click on them. Yeah. click on them using your mouse~ Then they will roll into your hotel. =D This is the only way to get more customers/money.You can also click on the customers who are sleeping in your hotel to get more money or points. Though, it will be annoying to wake up your customers and ask them to pay you some tips but never mind it's just a game. There are some facilities for you to unlock at certain levels blah blah. (Like most of games) Finally, you can hire your friends by posting news feed, or you can get hired by your friends so that you will get extra money daily.
Technically, some of the features in this game is still not developed at the moment. Don't "huh", ye, not fully implemented features even though the features might already be available in the other games by Playfish. There is quite a few items saying "Coming Soon" for now. One of the main thing which irritates me is that I can't sell away unwanted items for money! ARGH!! Why is it not there when this feature shouldn't be new to them. I thought they could just grab the programming code from their other games and put it in this game. Maybe there is some other technical problems or they have other reason for not having this function in yet. But I believe one day this Sell function will be in, hope it will be there real soon. There is also quite a number of bugs here and there, and there is still some loopholes here and there and people is able to cheat to get more money and higher level. One of my friend actually went to around level 50. I admit that I did a search around for cheats.. Hohoho. Indeed there is some cheats available in some of the website. But but.. Please do not hack or cheat. It might result in ban in all Playfish games and it will be pathetic on the programmers to cover up the loopholes or to secure the game data. It will be a lot of job and maintenance.
Though this hotel management idea isn't new in Facebook games. I believe Playfish will try to do a good job to excel. Bringing us better games.
