Reviewing Two Great Lawn Mowing Games


Lawn mowing is a menial chore. Young people find this task boring. Thus without any reward or incentive, youngsters would not be wheedled to mow the lawn especially on hot sunny days. Virtual lawn mowing is a different thing. Young and adult fans of internet games do not need any incentive to play any of the lawn mowing themed online and offline fun boosters. The boring and tedious chore becomes a highly entertaining experience. They provide hours of entertaining playtime. They hone the players’ dexterity with the computer keys. Strategy and cognitive skills are improved as well. Because of the obstacles and challenges, the player becomes a good strategist as the ability to think quickly and to instantly develop a plan is improved. Mowing Master Mowing Master is a free online game by Lawn Pro software. The player will mow the virtual lawn using the computer’s arrow keys to direct the route of the lawn mowing equipment. There is no set time to finish a level and the score would depend on the percentage of weeds removed, grass mowed, clippings removed and the percentage of obstacles destroyed. The challenge lies on the need to control the direction of the mower in order to avoid destroying plants and other obstacles. Mowing is not the idea of fun for some people. However, people that find the task of grass cutting enjoyable would be challenged to complete this lawn mowing computer game. The score is based on accuracy. The player has to mow the course without destroying the obstacles, have to blow the leaves only to the leaf vacuum hopper and not to the neighbor’s property. Real life lawn mowers would find that virtual lawn mowing is vastly different. Mowing Master is not exactly fun and exciting, primarily because of the absence of time limit. It would not be surprising if the player would get bored and abandon it entirely. Time limit would have made it more challenging. The Lawn Mower Game The Lawn Mower Game is another lawn mowing themed fun box that is aimed to turn lawn mowing into an enjoyable chore. It is free and has 10 levels where the player would need to tackle different mowing courses within the allocated time. The computer’s arrow keys are used to direct the movement of the virtual mower. The player has to navigate the mower around rose bushes that serve as obstacles. The Lawn Mower Game has a simple concept but it was made challenging by the rather slow movement of the mower. The poor choice of control appears to be its main flaw. Players that get fed up by the poor control easily abandon it. On the other hand, the creator may have purposely chosen this kind of control to make it more interesting. The slow movement of the virtual mower would be very challenging for a player who can dexterously tap the arrow keys. Finishing it would then be the ultimate goal.}
