1.0 out of 5 stars Good Concept but BAD Game Design, September 9, 2004

By 

D. Cotto (Bristol, CT) - See all my reviews

= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Big Biz Tycoon (CD-ROM)

When I read the game description it sounded like a blast. Then I tried playing it and it was really bad.

1. No real in-depth instruction on how to make money

2. The employees don't leave and always complaining

3. Can't advertise, can't have a project and research project go at the same time.

4. Relocating and buying stuff was the only good thing about the whole game but by then your broke.

I don't recommend this game at all even if it cost $1.00, buy a soda instead.

4.0 out of 5 stars My REALLY GOOD AND TRUE REVIEW!!! Worth reading!, March 2, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Big Biz Tycoon (CD-ROM)

Big Biz Tycoon is a great game, don't let anyone think otherwise! The only thing wrong is when you are building your offices, you have to do alot of rotating to make things face the correct way. You can't rotate the individual items. It makes it harder to build. But otherwise, this game is educational, and fun. You've got to make sure your employees are productive. You've got to make sure you've got enough money. It's all good. Need I say more?

1.0 out of 5 stars Buggy, Booring, and Just Plain Bad, May 20, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Big Biz Tycoon (CD-ROM)

Top five reasons not to get this game:

1. The online manual is very poorly translated Korean. Good luck figuring out the game.

2. If you want to buy up another company's stock, you can usually only get a few shares at a time. Even if you'd be willing to pay a lot more, no one will sell.

3. The game has a bug so that it forgets how to make certain products and you have to re-research them.

4. The music is worse that Barney's "I love you..." repeated ad nauseum.

5. Technical support? From Activision? You've got to be kidding.
