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.

Worst tycoon

Airport tycoon 2 looks like a really fun enjoyable game. Thats what it looks like on the back of the case, but beware it is one of the worst games I have ever bought. I could kick myself for buying it. Thought it was going to be good. The grapics are bad. When you build roads they aren't visible and break up in pieces in different areas as you move, then reappeare. Its a very good idea for a game but it really is a bad game. I'm giving it two stars because it tried. I imediately returned the game after playing it. DON'T BUY THIS GAME!

A disapointment of a game

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.

Less gameplay than the original

I am absolutely dumbfounded. The game looks very similar. The graphics are BARELY improved from the original. The gameplay is much less detailed.

Basically, things you were able to do in the old game you can't do anymore. But there isn't any new stuff to do either.

Utterly disappointed.

I agree, this game is probably worse than the first one

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)

Dreadful!

I think perhaps Airport Tycoon 2 is the worst game I've ever played. In fairness, I only played it for about an hour before I got so sick of it I gave up. I rather doubt I'll ever play it again.

Airport Tycoon, the original, was a very limited game that still managed to be a little bit fun. Airport Tycoon 2 successfully removes everything that was fun in the original -- watching your planes and trucks drive around the airport, for example -- and gets rid of them. Even more astounding, the user interface and gameplay problems from the original have not been solved -- in fact, they've been made worse.

A Real Tycoon!

Airport tycoon is real tycoon because its much better than the last one! Firt of all the game really shows more detail then the the first. the style of the game is better (more things look futuristic)the presentation is anyway.The consept is great and its fun conrtroling and satisfying cutomers in your custom made airport . The graphics are good and the theme is superb.For
those who like thinking , strategic, And money handling games this is the right one for begginers, veterans , and experts.

The demo is horrible

If the full game is anything like the demo it should have never been released from beta...

Game-play could actually be fun, but it is impossible to tell with all of the bugs!
-Planes don't always appear when they are supposed to
-Game speed is suppossed to be varible but really has two speeds, real time(turtle-slow) and ULTRA-fast
-Information for the buildings doesn't pop up after the first one
-Roads randomly disappear and reappear
-Bulldozing is tricky

Airport Tycoon 2 is the best computer game that I have ever had. I play it all the time. The 3D simulation is increadable. It seems that you are actchually in the airport YOU desine!!!!

I was expecting this game to actually allow you to go INSIDE your airport buildings, but it dosen't even do that! Instead, you put stuff inside the buidings using a weird graph type thing. All the 3D inteface does is circle around the outside. It was not even worth the time to download the demo for me! Do not waste your money on this game!!
