Summary: Totally awesome game!
Review: Ski resort tycoon is the best tycoon game since Roller Coaster. Watching the skiers bust on the slopes is more than comical. I thoroughly recommend this game! I play for hours and hours on end, and you will to.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Ski Resort Tycoon
Review: Sounds a lot of fun doesn't it? Yeah, well for the first 3 hours or so. When you start this game, you begin to start building your first lift, add a couple of restrooms, maintaince shack, ski patrol hut, and a snack or espresso bar and so on depending on your funds. Many of the buildings require previous buildings to be built, so you cant just build a remarkable 5-star hotel with 300 rooms once you start. Then as you get more guests, some of them stayes overnight-whoops excuse me did I say that? Theres not even a daynight cycle in this game. I gained a star up, but my funds were getting low. I only had about 5k left. If your funds are low, you have to wait in order to gain money. This is a very bory procces. I used the 3D third-peron mode. You actually feel like your skiing in a real resort! The drawback to this, however is that even is you have a blazing fast no lagg and cinematic quality visual producing main stream graphics card with a powerful very fast processor and a lot of RAM (like mine, an Alienware Area-51 PC including a Pentium 4 3ghz Processor with 512 megabytes of RAM and a Nvidia GeForce FX 5600 Ultra 128MB), you will still recieve a lot of lagg and slow frame rates . The physics are everything to complain about. Guests an literally ski though buildings, if you run is too steep, half their body is on top and the other, on the bottom of the snow. It's not the deep snow, if it is they will be skiing very slowly. Also to complain about is the bad graphics and detail even in 1024x768 which is the highest resolution you can get, depending on your graphics card. Look at the skiiers and snowborders detail, they are nothing but a trapazoid shape as their body, and a spheare thats not even round, more like an octogon for their head. Avalanches that happen way to often, makes you go to the top of your screen. To get down your would have to move your increadibly slow pointer. Both of these features they put into this game are extreamley annoying. I eventually got to a five-star resort by "chain building" the hotels, resturants, restrooms, warming huts, entertainment centers, expert runs, and quality lifts. Finally, I just about have enough of this game and I started writing my review.
Ups: 3D mode lets see how your resort is like if your actually there. One way to get that "winter feel" during summer.
Downs: Gets really boring after the first few hours you play. Very laggy, poor frame-rates, terrible graphics, and awful and physics.
Bottom Line: You might want to do some real skiing instead.
If I had to give it a score from 1-100 it would be 37/100.

Summary: I liked it
Review: There were some guys my age on the reviews that said they did not like this game but I really did. It was easy for me to get started playing it. I liked the ski guys crashing, jumping, and being silly. All of my friends come over and we play as a group. Everyone I know who is my age thinks this game rocks! So if you need a good idea for a present buy SKI RESORT TYCOON !!

Summary: Fell Short of Fun
Review: This game had a good idea but it was a wannabe of RCTycoon. The first couple days I had it, it was fun but after a while it got boring. You don't really get a lot of freedom to do what you want, like in RCTycoon. In this game basically all you do is build lifts and buildings and watch skiers fall. Personally I wouldnt reccomend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FFFFUUUUNNNN!!!!
Review: THIS GAME IS A MASTERPIECE! GET ONE ASAP. THE GRAPHICS ARE NOT LIKE THAT OF A GAME CUBE or XBOX, BUT ARE GOOD. THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS YOU CAN CHOOSE TO MAKE. YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS SAFE AND HAPPY. IF NOT, THEY WILL LEAVE AND BE UNHAPPY. YOU ALSO HAVE TO MAINTAIN IT OR ELSE EVERYTHING WILL BE A MESS. TRY TO BUILD A FIVE STAR RESORT AND COMPLETE MISSIONS, OR JUST BUILD A RESORT WITH NO GUIDLINES AT ALL. DO NOT LET THE PRICE ON THIS GAME MAKE YOU THINK THAT IT IS NOT WORTH GETTING. THE GAME IS GREAT FOR ALL AGES. I AM 13, AND MY DAD IS IN HIS 50'S AND WE BOTH CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF THE GAME. HAVE FUN PLAYING!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Just plain fun
Review: This game is a ton of fun, very easy to jump right in and startplaying. A la Roller Coaster. All around I found it to be a very solidand entertaining simulation with plenty of humor and customization tokeep you hooked for hours. Hardcore sim fans might find it lackingsome depth, but the hilarious animations, special features and comicevents certainly make up for it. It's got something for everyone andcertainly a perfect game for the younger audience (no violence,imagine that) and anyone who enjoys snowboarding or skiing and wantsto a good laugh... it's a must buy. I give it the ol' two thumbs up!

Rating: 5 stars

Review: This game is campy and boring. There was no thought put into this game and it was easy to tell. I would not recomend this game to anyone.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A 19.99 WASTE
Review: This game is for people of simple minds, who like simple things, and think very simple. The game was very bad, who ever made this game needs to try again. Things wrong... *Cant turn veiw on screen(no left to right changing) *Very slow, and sometimes to fast *No real goal, just build it and they will come *Horrible sound *Not enought choices And Many Many more...... I would invest my money in something that makes sense. Good qualities... *watching skiers fall!
