Best two dollars I've spent in a long time. It's a simple city builder. The choices are a little limited, so you will end up building the same thing over and over. I'd give it a solid 6.5-7/10.

It's overpriced for what it is, but it does give you a character who's not 12.... Overall it's okay, but not great.

Kind of a fun add-on. While you're still limited to what are basically teenagers/and kids, this at least gives you some choices.

Sadly, this is an OLD set that doesn't hold up well. You do get some fantasy characters, but they are poorly animated. The temple models have a few uses, IMO, and I personally like them. However, making a fantasy-style game in a Gameguru classic kind of seems to go against the FPS purpose of the engine. I'm not saying it can't be done, especially if you can program LUA, but be forwarned it's not going to be easy. At this point, in 2023, this set should be free with Gameguru. I will recommend it, but you shouldn't buy it unless it's a really good deal.

This is a really cool pack! Lots of useful stuff here, especially for a cemetery wall kind of thing. However, with that said, there seemed to be a couple of model issues that drag it down. First is the amazing eagle statue! I love it but I have to complain as it's imo too high poly. In addition, to that, several of the wall sections have invisible ends on both sides, which while good poly wise means you have to cap them so the player can't see. Not really a defect so much as something buyers need to be aware of. Same with the fence you have to build by placing the wooden slats into it (a pain). Also one of the tall gate pieces in the set had a strange line (3D plane) around it that was very annoying, not sure what was happening with that. If everything in this set worked perfectly it would be an awesome pack. However, as things stand it's just meh. 6.5/10 Buy on sale if you need it.

This is an interesting pack with some decent models. Honestly, I haven't used it a lot, but I could see it being handy to make a ground keeper shed or any industrial-type/construction section. It's a little bit specialty, though, and once again, I suspect a few of the models are "higher poly" than needed for classics engine. Namely, the tarps and yellow sorting box shelf. They seem to cause hiccups or slowdown in busy game areas, so keep that in mind. Is it worth the price? Not really, but if you find it on sale, it might be okay.

This is a nice set, I really like it! Lots and lots of models, a few of which that can be used on other type levels. It also does just what the video shows, no sneaky surprises. You should pick it up on sale if you can, but this one would be good even off sale. It's a solid 8/10 maybe higher.

Well... This model set is kind of a specialty one. The items are only useful in specific instances. With that said the regular price is a joke (way to high). However on sale its not that bad. The models actually look better in the game engine then they do in the video, which is rare. I wish it was a bigger set or included some of the Inca models from max, or something. Ummm... The open chests both are higher poly and cause a little hiccup when testing a level and the player is near them which also isn't good. I'm going to recommend this set, but only if you need treasure or artifact models, and its on sale.

I thought about buying this pack for a long time (like since it first came out) but kept putting it off as I wasn't sure how helpful it would be. To my surprise there are actually some really useful items here, besides just the building pieces. Overall everything seems to be modeled for speed (lower poly) which is good in Gameguru classic, but means nothing is meant to be stared out for long. However, there is TON of stuff in this pack and a lot can be used for several different kind of maps. With that in mind I actually recommend it, especially if its on sale!

Honestly a very weak model set. It has several items that should have been equip-able: knife, radio, binoculars, etc. but all are static. If they had made the frying pan a weapon I would have loved that, but again no! The two types of tents with or without a weather guard feel a little wasteful too, like fluffier just to get more models in the pack.
Overall everything is well modeled and textured, as usual. But the pack just seems haphazardly tossed together. Also there is a mistake on the lawn chairs as they have an invisible back section on the reverse side, meaning they will need to be set up next to something solid to hide that. Overall its way over priced for the number and usefulness as you can get a lot of these kind of models elsewhere.
