This game is so worth the money!!!!!! Well, I really didn't have to pay for it. I had to trade another game in to get it. You can steer your way through different oceans(ex. the bermuda triangle}. You can weasel your way away from icebergs, rocks, and even sea monsters. You can design your ship so you can keep your guests happy. It will continue to amuse week to week. I recommend this game to EVERYONE!!![...]

A Game for a welcome aboard tycoon fan

This game was a very good introduction to a tycoon game. The moral of the game is to try to make X amount of money in a certain amount of time. Their are some pretty cheezey graphics, but overall the game is very well writen. The only big problem is your money. You start off in the career mode with 50 grand. To build, let's say, a twin pothole suite, you are throwing away about 2000 bucks. You then have to build shops, bars, eateries, entertainment, and recreation to make your ship sucsessful. So really, you need to be a complete expert on this game to win. Well, happy crusing!

Hi, I bought this game and when in Instant Action Mode I started out with the smallest ship. I now have over 300,000 in cash and no way to upgrade my ship. All my decks are packed ! I can't possibly place anything else. Basically there is no where left for me to go except to start a new game with a bigger ship. Totally stupid, there should be a way to upgrade your ship in Instant Action mode. I don't suggest buying this game for that reason.

This game has no tutorial. Plus, at every sailing you are crashing into unavoidable rocks. THis was such a waste of money. I love all tycoon games but this is not up to par with the least of them. The box, looks good, but beware .It is a waste

No No No!

I don't mean to be negative, but this game truly isn't worth your time. I have loaded it on two different computers, one on which it freezes before even getting past the first screen, the other on which I can play for a maximum of five minutes before it freezes the computer up entirely. I read some negative reviews, but I thought 'hey, they're just being negative' but not I. I've gone in with a very positive attitude, only to be very disappointed. It might be a fine game, if you can get it to work. As for me, I say don't waste your money or your time. It's a good idea, but terribly done.

Don't Embark on this Shipwreck of a Game

Now, don't get me wrong; the game has a great concept and will appeal to all cruise - vacation lovers immensely, which I, myself am. While the game did APPEAL to me and I desperetley wanted to take it for a spin, I quickly found it to be perhaps the most boring and pointless thing I spent my hard earned money on.

To start, the game offers you absoloutely no control over what the rooms look like. Unlike classic sims, such as Hotel Tycoon or The Sims, which give you every option to customize your rooms to your liking and make your dream come true, Cruise Ship Tycoon sadly doesn't. You simply pick the type of room you want, select one of the bleak, unoriginal and limited styles of the type of room previously highlighted and place the room down in an availabe area. You have no jurisdiction over anything, and all cruise ships you create become repetitive and boring. This adds to the limited replay value.

The game offers you three modes: Instant Action (which you can hardly call "action", as the game offers no action whatsoever and it will be over before you begin it), Challenge Mode and Career Mode. In Instant Action, you have the ability to experiment with the games limited controls and basic interface. Basically, you can build a cruise ship and sail it. Woop-De-Doo! In Challenge Mode the game throws at you a few missions with no "challenge". Thus, it's easy to breeze through these in no time at all. Sadly, I did not get to "Career Mode, becasue I was so bored with the product I couldn't get myself to play the whole game but I am sure I got the jist of it from the other two modes!

The only positive thing I can say about this game is that there are a nice variety of ports, and I was happy to see that it featured the island that I live on; Bermuda.

The game is basic. Basically bad. For a frequent cruiser, I should know what components would go into a great tycoon for this genre. Very dissapointing CatDaddy. You missed 90% of what elements would make an extremely memorable tycoon.

I just recently bought this game and i'm ready to sale it already, except i wouldn't want to be reponsible for scamming anyone out of their money. The Game looks like it would be interesting to play but the graphics continually screw up and eventually (early in the Game) the game starts running real slow and i'm working with 2.66 GHz. i really wish i would have researched this game first. Don't waste you money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good game

I think it is a good game to have fun with, but one thing that dissapoints me is if you hit an icberg, Rock, run aground or get attacked by the giant squid your ship sinks right away. I would like it better if you could see the obstacle ahead, here a bump, grinding noise or something, inspect the damage and see the leaks, see the water flooding into the ship, seeing where the water is, seeing the ship slowly become submerged, see the list the ship has developed, maybe even have compartments with watertight doors and be able to stay afloat with the first two flooded, sound a siren, launch the lifeboats, see the completely flooded decks underwater, maybe even see the ship break in two when it sinks, give the order to abandon ship, see how deep the water is it has sunk in, send out SOS calls, see how much time there is before the ship sinks, explore the wreck later in a submersible. That would be way better.

good game

That would be way better if Cat daddy games made it that way. I would be so happy if they did!

Don't buy this software! It is not ready for sale or distribution. I have never had a problem loading or using any software like I had with this piece of garbage. Do the research online. Find other sites concerning this game. You'll see so many problems....just not worth it believe me!
