Not many games have the play that this one does. You basically start with repairing cars for customers. When you build up enough money, you can go to the auction and buy a car of your own. You can fix it up and customize it any way you like, take pictures of it for your photo album, and then try to auction it off for a profit. As you repair and build more cars, the skill level goes up allowing you to take on more complex repair jobs and purchase more of a variety of cars. It's a simple but very fun game at a very affordable price.

This game is awesome, ... You can take jobs from other people, and then you can build a car from almost scratch. You go to an auction, and bid on beat up cars, and then you can either repair all the parts, or fix them. THIS GAME IS A RIOT! Have fun playing it!

This game reminds me a lot of a 486 game that I knew as HotRod, but may have been called California Dreams. You'd buy a used car, upgrade it and race it. I wish there was something more to this than just building the cars, which I'm not knocking. Some racing, or time trials or destruction derbies or something along those lines. Also, it seems you can't even customize the engines as much as you could in that game. I mean, I'm definately not mechanically inclined, but I know there are aftermarket parts for everything, and you should have more variety in your engine parts and maybe even some technique like boring out the engine and such. It seems the game has a lot of possibilities, and that a Gearhead Garage 2 might be pretty dang impressive, but I'd say try and find California Dreams/Hot Rod on the net first, and wait till this one hits the bargain bargain bin. It'll be half the price in software store pretty soon, I'd bet.
