This review is from: Big Oil: Build An Oil Empire (CD-ROM)

The scenarios in the game are pretty interesting but the near infinite bugs and pathetic frame rate make it impossible to begin to enjoy this craptacular waste of polycarbonate, aluminum and acrylic. Putting aside the technical problems, the game play is awful as well. The game has two difficulty levels with a normal game quickly degrading to constantly clicking yes or no on a helper box. On advanced, extreme micromanagement is required as you have to hire staff for every single oil well you put down. Do not buy this game at any price. In fact if you get this game for free don't even bother playing it, it really is that bad.
