When I first fired up Garage Inc., the first thing I noticed was the game had a little stereotypical feel to it. Angelo, a 1920′s Italian immigrant needs money, so his mob connected friend gets him a car repair garage, but the mob will undoubtedly get involved and make his life suck. Moving on. Garage Inc. is your standard time management game which is a staple of touch games. The controls are very straightforward and the more you pay attention to detail and of course timing, the better you will do. Garage Inc. is a very good looking good game. Read on.
The game looks polished on an iPhone, which I played it on maybe, and even better on an iPad when full screen, which we tested for comparison. The voice-acting is surprisingly well done here and the cutscenes/animation are stand out. The game does shine in the graphical department, I will give you that. The game itself is standard time management fare. Move this to there, replace, move that over there, collect money, repeat.
The game does have a low replay value because there are no upgrades, no online support, and outside of the core gameplay, nothing changes the next time you might want to play through. Money is arbitrary because you have nothing to spend it on. This is an average time management touch game with above average visuals. Fans of the genre should check this out, but if you are not a fan of this game type, you might want to pass.
