Summary: Very Disappointed
Review: I am not much of a game expert, but I do know what I like to play. I decided I wanted the game because the concept of running my own airport would be fun. I even read a few of the reviews on amazon. My husband seen the game at [local store] including in a pack with other games. He only paid [some money] for the pack and I see why. First the box said airport tycoon, but the cd saids Air Mogul. I guess it is the same game. When I first seen the graphics it was awful. I still thought there would be hope. The game play is not easy to understand and the game tutorial was worthless in fact it was mess up itself. I just didn't like it at all. I was very disappointed. So if you are just a person who like to play games just for the fun of it, and not one of those hard gamers don't waste your money on this game. It wasn't even worth a few dollars. Now one of the other games in the pack I am currently playing is RailRoad Tycoon 2 and it was definitely worth the few dollars.

Summary: Good but not the Best
Review: Airport Tycoon is good but not the best for a couple of reasons.
Its good for graphics collection of types of buildings, and sounds. Bad things are the whole point of the game, "Management" There are problems I have had. Only 4 runways... please most airports like Hartsfield in Atlanta have more than that. It is hard getting the rating of my airport up. After putting a successful airport for around 7 years on the game, it still give me the ' ' face. It is too complicated to raise it to a happy
'
- face to me. It is a good game, but things in the management portion of the game need to be improved. Hire Electronic Arts or Infogrames to do this game.

Summary: Some pretty frustraiting flaws
Review: I have a natural love for aviation and things realated to it because I have a dad who flies for FedEx and the National Air Gaurd. I was very excited when I first saw it at the EBX store in Meridian, MS (my dad flies for the Gaurd there and we went with him as we sometimes do). I immeadiatly bought it expecting much more than I got. For one thing, after about five years (of succes) and you have set up all the (four and limited (AAAARRRRGHGH!!!!)) runways, there is nothing else to do with your airport accept make more money and expand a little bit in the front of your airport. The replay value is extreamly low. I can get a airport running pretty easy and when I do, that is about it. The timming is really weird, too. It is especially weird with timming with graphics. You can have the clock running at full speed and and a plane will land on average of one per two or three days. I guess it isn't really that bad, but they could have made a whole lot better, I would have even bought it if it had been thirty dollars anyway, if it was as good as should have.I still suggest it for the cheap price.

Summary: Nice but needs some more improvements.
Review: The objective, setting and aim of the game is very appealing but there are many problems which needs to be solved to make optimum use of it. First of all, there are many errors, for example when you save the game and when load once again all the planes have disappeared. At times, saved games won't even load and you will have to start over again and this is quite frustrating.
Time is not respected in the sense that you see planes land and take off at different times, times which are not corresponding to the schedules.
Moreover names are not written properly, for example we have Bowing instead of Boeing, names of certain airlines also differ.
Consequently for those who are looking good simulation games I won't propose that I prefer Roller Coaster Tycoon.
There are many things which lacks in Airport Tycoon and it's not realistic as well.

Summary: All right, but could use ALOT of fixing up
Review: It's fairly good but there are major flaws. First of all, When you opened a saved game, all the planes you had at youre airport are gone. Also, there is a limit on how many runways you can have, the flights are never on time, the game simulation time is very slow, the tutorial takes literally 40 min., and declined companies keep coming back. It's ok, but there are better things you can buy.

Summary: Turn This Concept Over to Electronic Arts
Review: When I first bought this game, I was enamored with the concept of being able to build from the ground up my very own airport. However, even as I was installing it, I could tell that the game would not live up to even my barest expectations. For one, the screens, icons, and folders all list it as "Air Mogul," even though the packaging says Airport Tycoon. (My guess is it was titled this to capitalize on the other successful "Tycoon" games.) After a tantalizing opening teaser film, I worked my way around the somewhat difficult Main Menus and submenus (Options, etc.) Disappointing. The tutorial is useless, the Manual is useless for anything. You're pretty much on your own with this. It took me several hours of tweaking and fiddling to finally get an airport that was completely in the black. From then on, it was a monotonous procession of approving, rejecting, and renewing contracts. The "disasters" and "threats" are repetitive and surmountable. Even the names of the aircraft are bogus; "Bowing" instead of Boeing, "Leer" rather than Lear. The graphics were decent, and the objects were varied, but not varied enough. The one decent thing in this whole fiasco was the movement of the airplanes on takeoff and landing, but once they were taxiing, that expensive taxiway you laid is not as used as the service lanes that abut it. Sometimes planes just disappeared for no reason. The other complaint was the whole time scale; it was just unbelievable. I could go on forever, but I'm sure you see my point. My fervent hope is that Electronic Arts buys the rights to this "game" and turns it over to the Maxis subsidiary. Then, those geniuses who brought you SimCity 3000 and The Sims could work their programming magic and turn this into something truly worthwhile.

Summary: A good first try
Review: At first this is a FRUSTRATING game. Help/documentation is almost non-existant. After a bit of floundering the game can be figured-out, but then new frustrations set in. There are limitations on the number of runways and towers; who knows why. The game takes forever to finish...more defined goals such as are seen in RR Tycoon would help a lot. The graphics aren't very good. Having said all that, I still do play it on occasion.

Summary: A great game, but...
Review: This game is great. yes there is a pretty high learning curve, but unless you could not get over sim city 3000, you should be ok. The graphics are absoulutely amazing and once you get your place moving a control tower view is available. From here, your airport takes the shape of one from real life. Really very cool!

Summary: I Love It

Summary: Good idea, bad development
Review: I was very excited when I bought the game because I am a huge fan of tycoon games. Unfortunatedly, this one wasn't as good as you could expect from the name and the idea. After you open your airport and get your first two or three contracts, the game enters in an endless task of approving and rejecting business and airlines contracts and there is nothing else to do. Basically, after the first two or three hours of playing it gets boring doing over and over the same things.
