Since the last update, GI has changed the rules of the game! Some of the buildings we paid for have become useless since the resources they give are uninteresting... They want equity in the game between "small" and "big" players, but they just turned the game into a boring and frustrating game where nobody can complete quests! So sad, because I had been playing Paradise Island 2 for years...

Been playing a long time. Really enjoying the game. Recently noticing it is almost impossible to reach some of the event goals without spending money and the "micro" transaction costs are hilarious and ridiculously high. It's wild to me anyone would spend that much. The mini games, eg lucky baskets are likely rigged so you rarely or never get the 20 tournament points when you play. Statistically you should get 20 pts 1 in 5 times if you always pick the same basket for each play.

I have played this game for 8 years. I have always enjoyed it and I still enjoy it, but it is impossible to purchase additional land. I have spent a lot of money on this game but I refuse to spend $100 to have enough crystals or blue tape, to buy a small plot of land. I am very near to the point of uninstalling the app and saving my money. I am frustrated after all these years, that I cannot expand without paying.

years and years and years parts are for future updates. Playing now 7 years. And impossible to get more land with blue ribbons. Really not fun anymore. spend enough cash. make it easier to get more land. long time players (and i play daily now for 7 years) aren't getting anywhere. so I stop spending cash. have a ton of buildings ready to build but no land. I have to play another 50 years to expand. do better.

If you played the first one, you'll like this one. People say you have to spend like 200$ or more to advance, but if you're good enough, you can spend like 50-75$ and get a killer island! I started playing at the end of July last year and I'm already level 52! And I have the watermelon store on level 2! Also have a bungalow 2.0 now! HutchLee is my name on there, come check me out ?

Hello Support Team, I am facing an issue with the game Paradise Island. When I try to open the game for the first time, it shows a message saying "First time play needs internet connection", even though my internet connection is working properly. I have already checked my mobile data/WiFi, and other apps are working fine. Still, the game is not loading and keeps showing the same error. Please help me resolve this issue as soon as possible.

I am facing an issue where the game keeps showing 'The game requires an Internet connection the first time you load it' even though I have a stable internet connection. I tried switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data, restarting the game, and reopening my device, but the problem still remains. Because of this issue, I can't enter the game at all. Please investigate the server or connection system and fix it.soon. I really want to play the game, but currently it's impossible to load.

Love that there's plenty to do and I can choose and play three different kinds of mini games whenever I want. Have been playing for many months now and like that it's a game that doesn't require spending real money to keep moving forward. Overall, a nice game with good graphics, some interaction with other players in challenges, and can be played offline. Only downside is accusation of cheating every time I cross a timezone so can't play it when I travel. Annoying since airports are so boring!

EXACT SAME PROBLEMS u0026 APPRECIATIONS - I CONCUR 100% WITH THIS REVIEW: "the game has become glitchy and crashes frequently, especially during mini games or after an ad plays. No longer fun; now it's just annoying. Original: It's addictive for sure. As with all games it's slower to advance if you don't pay. It's like any other "build your dominion" game but there's no threat of someone else wrecking what you worked so hard to create."

So the first hour or so is fun as you start to set up your island, make money and expand. The two things I didn't like was saving up and spending 20,000 gold coins on a boat that doesn't do much and the time it takes to raise large amounts of money to upgrade the island. Another reviewer said a auto setting would be good whereby you automatically have your income collected on the island and don't have to do it manually. That done you only log in when you want to. I like that idea.

Not for the casual gamer. Need to have better gaming equipment to play this game. It uses a lot of memory. The latest update increases the need for memory, beyond both my tablet and now my phone. I can't play anymore after playing for 3 years. With the 1000s of other games out there, I will find something else to keep me occupied in my free time with my mobile devices. I have no other issues with other games on either my tablet or phone so no need to upgrade those, at this time.

Gameplay reset me to level 1 , even though I was almost to level 31. It erased all the gems I purchased with real money. My last purchase was just two days ago. Then the game wouldn't allow me back on. I un-installed and reinstalled without cleaning and boom, everything is gone. I have sent a message about the issue with no response. I may have to call my bank for fraud and theft. This is not how you treat people!

It's a good game and can keep you interest for long periods of time. However, it does have significant flaws. For example, there's a lot of demands that you spend real money on the game; via quests and there are a lot of really expensive "deals" in the right hand sidebar. Some of which are even AUD$100+. There's a "Confirm Spend Crystals" option, but it's a failure; all it needs is for you to double click and your crystals are GONE. I have accidentally spent hundreds of crystals because I'm clicking on something and then there'll be a pop up out of nowhere, and I'll accidentally press on the purchase for crystals option.

It's a great game, it includes a match 3 game on a turtle island and a boat race game and treasure chests, plenty of tasks and you can help the guests as well, there are cute animals to unlock and so much territory to expand. I just have one problem. If you want to restart and clear everything, that's not going to happen. It's what I wanted to do, and another thing is, building and clearing trees and rocks takes alot of energy, although you only get 25 energy. But you can still play the games

It's an okay game. Goes a little slow. I do like to play it, however there are a couple things that are super annoying. Like if you haven't logged in for 2 days they automatically transfer you to a new union, seriously? I also got a serious penalty when I changed time zones - it thought I was tampering with the time and made all my events take an hour to complete. Money takes a lot of time to generate - like every free game. Also, how do get rid of the notifications? I cannot find the setting anywhere.

I like it and can be fun but... what I dont like is having to constantly make purchases in order to advance in the game. You charge far too much for crystals and other items. The tasks are impossible to finish in time and I wonder how some people do it. I do have a life outside of this game and cannot be on it 24 hrs a day to complete these tasks. Some of the puzzles like the sandycaps challenege that just finished was impossible to complete unless you used cheats or items that cost a ton!

Events are nearly unachievable without spending money to buy crystals and coins. I have only played a couple months. Have spent over $200. Buildings are beautiful which encourage to want more. But, I am no longer going to play. It takes a ridiculous amount of coins and crystals just to purchase and upgrade buildings. And in order to complete events on time, you have no choice but to purchase extra because so little is given in game compared to what is required. Very disheartening.

Love it! Fantastic game, very well developed. Many facets there are to this game. There are everyday tasks and quests, special quests, mutliple mini games with their own daily and special quests. There are in app purchases that will enhance your game. With a game this well developed I will make an in app purchase to support the developers! :) Addendum: I don't mind making some purchases but it is VERY frustrating how long it takes to collect certain items like keys or special tools. PLEASE FIX

I noticed I gave this game 4 stars back on 7/17/15 and I barely remember playing it that long ago. I thought I'd go in and catch up on at after all these years, but I've become so frustrated because it keeps on kicking me out within a couple of minutes. I've cleared my cache, updated, reloaded, uninstalled, then reinstalled, then updated, but still, it's not happy with me! I guess I may visit in another 8 years after I've forgotten about this, IF it's still around!
