Product Description

On the order of the Seven Wonders of the World and with a legacy that will challenge even the Pyramids of Egypt, the creation and operation of the International Space Station (ISS) has been recognized as the greatest construction project ever attempted by the human race. Welcome to , where you can create and manage your very own International Space Station and crew! From Mission Control Center, build your own ISS using dozens of modules and stylized components from NASA and its four exploration partners, RSA, ESA, JAXA and CSA. Then send new astronauts to live and work aboard your orbiting biosphere. Onboard, keep your astronauts happy and healthy, and your station in top shape while protecting them from the bumbling space tourist. Through strategy, design, management, discovery, and care of your crew, your ISS may usher in the dawn of a new age for Man among the stars, or fail in a burning inferno! Space StationSim puts the player in the middle of the action at NASA, controlling the International Space Station, making both long-term strategic decisions as well as short-term moment-to-moment mission critical decisions. It provides entertaining game play based on management of resources, project planning, and research and development. It lets the player control individual Astronaut characters (Pilots, Mission Specialists, Scientists, and Engineers) each with their own unique abilities and personalities. It does so with a real-time simulation that cleverly incorporates the first non-tile based 3-D engine, and is based on a design intended to appeal to a wide range of ages and both sexes. Stealth Training encourages the player to enhance his/her skill through free discovery of the science and psychology of life in space.

This review is from: Space Station Sim (CD-ROM)

I bought this for my seven year old son and he enjoyed it greatly. He's moved on to other games now that he's a little older, but occasionally comes back to this one.

As with most PC games, I recommend you get the demo first and try it out.
It's worth the $10 if your child is into space stuff.
