Airport Tycoon

Summary: Good graphics with couple of bugs. Bad manual
Review: What to do? Do i build a big, ugly, busy airport or a small,nice, little one? Well that is 4 u 2 to decide. Airport Tycoonallows u 2 do that. Build ur own airport and manage it. Airport Tycoon's manual is horrible, does not have much in it. U have 2 learn how 2 play through the tutorial (which runs low on money before it finishes the airport, not playable tutorial). Big learning curve 2 build a good airport. I noticed that some buildings near the edge of the screen tend 2 dissapear, but if u scroll that way it reappears. Different cameras with good graphics (dispite the bugs), can view airport through taxi cabs, travelers, incoming flights, etc. Very addicting once u build a working airport...

Summary: Great Potential
Review: Wait for the patch. This game has far too many bugs, very disappointing. But it is otherwise a cool game. You can manage everything in your airport. I like how you can negotiate contracts with businesses to place things like fast food joints in your terminal. I'm waiting to find a patch (something you can download that will fix the bugs) for this game so i can finally enjoy it.

Summary: Stay away!
Review: You'd think, OK, someone new is following in the steps of Railroad Tycoon (like Chris Sawyer when he did Transport Tycoon), but not this game. The game won't even work the right way. I can't even build the terminal! Stay away. If you're thinking "It has the word tycoon" step back.

Summary: This is the worst PC game out today
Review: One of the biggest mistakes of my life was purchasing this travesty of computer programming. It runs terribly, and I have a new 533 system. The time frame is not paced, and the options are not as smooth as the package promotes. Bad production indeed! And the biggest factor that it fails to anywhere close to fun.

Summary: BIG Technical Problems
Review: I Just Bought This Game, Get This: I had to restart my computer 5 times, each time I ran this game it broke down, crashed, or froze! I am sooooo dissapointed. The farthest I got was at least a minute into the game. I don't know if this game is a defective, I'll probably go out and buy a new one and see if it works.

Summary: THE Ups and Downs
Review: The good side about this game is you are in charge of your very own airport! You get to make contract with name brand airline and shops too. The bad sides are in order for a airline to come you need so many things and there is nothing that tells you what you need. Finally when Airplane companies decide to use your airport they ask you for something like a dedicated booth of some sort. So you want them to come so you try this, except how do you do this? The manuel isn't helpful in anything! you neeed to explore and have trial and error. But When you get the hang of it, and airplanes come it is a fun game! It cost 20.00!

Summary: bad bad bad
Review: This program tries to be a serious business sim and a Sim City type of game but instead does neither well. The manual is too small to help. In the time it takes a plane to land several hours have passed. Night time never comes and though flights are delayed by bad weather nothing reflects the bad weather other than the warning on your pager. Oddly enough, I saw a remarkably similar program entitled Airport Inc on the web that looked more involved but it was obviously the same graphics. I think this company is just trying anything they can to recoup losses incurred in making this turkey. Too bad though - it's a great idea.

Summary: Great,addictive,and, fun
Review: Airport tycoon is a great game! It's a great creative game it's fun to see little tiny planes flying in and out of your airport.it's also fun to make the terminals.It's very hard to understand at first but once you get to be able to actully play your airport it's very addictive.I bought it a few years ago and it layed around my computer. only learned how to play it about to months ago and have played it about every day since.

Summary: Cool!
Review: This game is so great. You manage EVERYTHING, even contracts. If you buy this game and get millions of flight and business contracts, but no petrol or hotel contracts, this is normal. It takes a while to get those. WARNING: NEVER BUILD A TERMINAL THAT YOU WANT TO DELETE LATER, YOU CAN NEVER DELETE A TERMINAL! I say this because you have a maximum of 4 terminals. (and runways)Bomb threats will happen. Luckilly if your police attitudes are careful or cautious, then the bomb threat could be a hoax, or the bomb could be defused. The few bad things. People can walk through your stores. It's kinda cool. You never see planes loading passengers. The last thing: The tutorial is useless. Oops, I forgot a good thing. If you don't want a snowstorm burying your planes, or a deadly fire burning your terminals to the ground, you can turn off hazards. This game is a must have!

Summary: So-so,
Review: This game can be very frustrating. I always go into debt when running a passenger airport. Unscheduled air planes occaisanly arrive, and a extremley poor tutorial. On the other hand cargo airports are easy to manage. The overall layout is decent. The decision depends on if your ready for a challenge.
