Good Concept but BAD Game Design

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.

Try Capitalism 2

I was thinking "SimCity helped me learn about real estate and land use in a fun way, so maybe there will be a game that might help me learn more about about business." This was not the game. The documentation and tutorials are terrible. I don't remember exactly but I gave it an hour (or maybe two) of playing, but really felt stuck and bored.

The sad thing is that the game appears to have a fair amount of depth and detail, but it's really unclear and I didn't know what I was supposed to do, and when I did, I didn't know how to do it.

In addition to the difficulty I had with the game, it just wasn't what I was looking for. "Big Biz" is about running an office and handling employees and delegation. If you want a decent business game, try Capitalism 2. It has good detail and depth, good tutorials and an actual understanding of how businesses run. For some people, it may be a subtle distinction, but for me it's all that matters: In Big Biz Tycoon, you run an office. In Capitalism 2, you run a business.

Skip this game

This game is not any fun. I bought it and thought.. well.. at least it made an attempt. I just want no one to waste their money on this game.. because it is really, really bad. The graphics are something to be desired. While for the price.. it's not much.. you may think.. oh, I might like it.. spend it on something else!

Bad game! Please do not buy!

I know I really wanted this game because it looked so good in the store. I was wrong. It took me a long time to figure out how to do anything. I still am not completely sure how to do anything. There are few levels and the only way I could beat it was by using cheat codes. Still, you can just put all you money in the bank and leave your computer and then you will make money. BY NOT EVEN DOING ANYTHING! Now I would only pay $1.00 tops.

awful... complete waste of time

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!! This game is a complete waste of money. It's frozen up my computer countless times, and has very limited gameplay. The graphics are extremely dissapointing, and the game itself is just plain stupid.

Believe me, it is NOT worth your money.

My REALLY GOOD AND TRUE REVIEW!!! Worth reading!

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?

Buggy, Booring, and Just Plain Bad

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.

All-Right

This game is ok. My favorite part is going to tutorial and pressing escape. I can't get from one level to another. I lose money all the time.

boooh!!

Scenarios, make this so boring. You can't build a business, itslike starting over and over again. This isn't a good sim game. They could have made it much better.

Yuck, Yuck, Yuck

This is a terrible game. Stupid. Not enough stuff, too much silly interactions required, no speed settings. If you are looking for a good game, don't buy this one.
