Fill Up 2:

In Brief:
Fill up 2 is the sequel to Fill Up (obviously) that was given away last week. This time instead of a garage you goal is to create a flourishing city. There are five different locations with six levels per area, each area has a different climate. The basic mechanic is a match three, four or five game using different coloured cars and model to create matches as well as a basic city building game with two modes of play (timed and untimed). Though there are three distinct game types revolving around the match three or more. In some you have an assistant that helps place vehicles for you, other levels you have to place all vehicles yourself. Some levels are times, others are untimed. The timed levels earn you Gold, Silver or nothing depending on how fast you achieve the level goal, which is usually to earn a specific amount of cash before the time runs out. Earning Gold or Silver also awards you extra points.

To earn cash, create matches of three, four and five vehicles of the same colour and type. You get more points by creating complex combos; these are achieved when creating more than one set of matches in one turn. To aid you in this you can use jokers that are earned by creating sets of four or five. There are two types of Joker blue and red. Reds are more powerful. Once you've earned enough cash you can start to build your city by clicking on the central pink piece (looks a little like the pawn in a set of chess pieces) located on the level map. This takes you to the city that you are presently in. You'll see lots of plots hovering over them you'll find out what the building is and how much it costs. The cheapest building costs 30 000, but you can buy plots that contain trees and shrubs for much less ($8400). You can also sell off buildings, but at a loss. You can also replay levels to improve the scores and thus the amount of money earned to enable you to complete your city.

See the introduction below the countdown timer for more details.

Conclusion:
Fill Up 2 is an interesting take on the match three genre with city building as an extra to add to the game. Initially I wasn't impressed, but once I'd figured what to do and progressed through a few levels discovering that there were slightly different takes on the game mechanic, I enjoyed it a little more and decided it was worth keeping. It's not something I'd play for extended periods so would put it in the coffee/teatime bracket of gameplay. You should easily play through the three different styles in a short break. Playing it for extended periods, the game may become a little boring. The graphic is quite dated, but that shouldn't affect the enjoyment you derive from playing it.

I'd score this a 6.4 out of 10 for game play.
