1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Buy!!, January 20, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Airport Tycoon 2 (CD-ROM)

This was posibly the worst game I have ever played. I have the original game which is fantastic so I was happy when I got Airport tycoon 2. When I tried it it; 1. crashed to the desktop after 10 minutes of play, 2. Has the worst graphics of any game i ever played and 3. the game play is horrible. When you buy land it always says "You nead to buy enough land for a runway!" THEY DON'T TELL YOU HOW BIG A RUNWAY IS! Don't buy it, buy Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 instead.

1.0 out of 5 stars I agree, this game is probably worse than the first one, February 22, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Airport Tycoon 2 (CD-ROM)

this game is absolutely awful, I would have thought after all the complaints about the last game, and after working on the game for more than 2 years, the game would be a lot better,

but the game is actually worse, there is less gameplay, there are still many glitches and the graphics were barely improved,

I am very disapointed in this game, especially because of the nice poster they released last year (which showed some promise)

2.0 out of 5 stars A disapointment of a game, March 1, 2003

This review is from: Airport Tycoon 2 (CD-ROM)

I purchased this game because I thought it would be better than the poorly rated original. I don't think it rated any higher. Be careful that you check the game system requirements;if your computer is not new the program won't run. The music is impressive, the graphics are good, but the game itself is horrible. The tutorial mode isn't really a tutorial, and you have to figure out the game for yourself. The senarios are very difficult, and you don't know how to improve. The game has no comments on how to make your airport better, like in other games. You just have to guess what the programers want you to do. There seem to be a few technical problems with the game, and events happen for no reason. Overall, I would buy more tried and true games like Roller Coaster Tycoon, and if you happen to have money and time to waste, then buy this game.
