Ski Resort Tycoon II is a fun game. It's easy to build, but difficult to master. You can build anything from hotels to restaurants. You can build ski jumps and build rentals. You can also build ski schools and snowboarding schools! The possibilities are pretty much endless. There are hundreds of ways you can build your resort. With the new one, there is even night skiing! (Everything looks really pretty at night when you have everything set up. WOW!) Also...you can choose a skiier to look at it from his/her perspective. You can see what each skiier or snowboarder thinks of your park. You can even explore your own park with the controls of the arrow buttons on your keyboard if you wanted to. This one is also a really fun game for anyone who loves skiing, snowboarding, or tycoon games. For example, I'm definately not a skiier, but I just love this game. I love tycoon games in general. Get it! I don't think you'd be disappointed.

This is the best game

Just like all of the other tycoon games, this one is just as fun.
From building spas to slopes, this game has it all. The only downside of this game is it's addiction. Once you start playing, you can't stop. You can see a close up view of a skiier, and control where they go, and you can build buildings to keep your skiiers satisfied. I really recommend this game, and if you don't get it, you'll be missing out.

Highly addictive Game.

Activision have done it again, with this sequal. The Origional was not very good but still caught peoples eyes.
The idea of the game hooked many people including myself, seeing as the origional is all you can buy in the Uk. One of my friends who's parents come from New York, got the game (Ski Resort Tycoon 2) for Christmas. Unfortunatly for me it is not copyable. We spent hours behind the screen, playing this game. The game is never ending and doesn't get boring. The new advantages like a new array of buildings and the controlable skiers, are all what make this game highly addictable. I would suugest it to any game, who be 8 or 80. It all depends on your style of gaming attitude.

I LOVE This game!

I got this game a while ago, I played it for a summer and then I thought it was boring, but after some time all the shooting and killing is getting REALLY boring, so I popped the CD in and started playin' again, and after some time you get used to the menu's and know where every thing is it gets real fun!!! I only use one cheat, which is to change the skier spawn rate, you have to hit CTL K and change the Skier Spawn rate to 999999999999999999999, it really makes the money come in fast!!! I would recomend this game to anyone! But I would also recomend GTA Vice City!!
Hope you get it!

A Major Disapointment

BEFORE YOU READ THIS REVIEW-TRUST ME, I SAY IT LIKE IT IS!! I read the reviews of this game, and, having a passion for software, bought it. The box looks flashy, all colorful and all, but this game stinks!! Here are the problems:

The first problem is your "financial situation". You start out with money, but your money is always dropping a buck a second. For another thing, if you want to build this building, you have to have this one. So you search for 5 minutes only to discover you need that one to build that one!! So you search again, soon to find out that you need this one...it will go on and on. They should have it so you can buy all you want, when you want. I don't see how even the makers could have bought so many buildings to put on the back of the box!! The buildings are also very hard to find, as a mere picture shows the catagories.

The second problem is all the other things-the annoying, danananananananana-dananananananananaaaa music which gets stuck in your head, the screen is aslo difficult to navigate, and the "path a trail" feature is extremly confusing and hard to use. Also, the graphics of the skiers are bad.

The third and final problem is the tricks used to lure you to buy it. The colorful box, with the (I have to say this) beautiful pictures. On the baks bullets mark the "exiting new feaures and options" of the second game.

All-in-all, this is not a good game. If you do want to give it a spin, save the recipt, because in a few days you'll be showing it to the cashier at the store you bought it in.

P.S. If I was you, I wouldn't trust Activision in general. Electronic Arts (with Maxis, EA Games, and the Sims as divisions) definitly rules!!!

This Game Is A GREAT Game!!

All the new features are worth it. From creating your own resort, and running it, this games got it all!!!

I have played this game for hours of fun. If you are a tycooner, this game will blow you away. Even if you are not a tycooner, this game rocks! Activision is awsome!!!!

An Awesome Game

Ski Resort Tycoon is great, you can do everything you can think of with this cool PC program. There are tons of new things that you can build now, in this second one, which the first one did not have. I think it is cool how you can actually be in a person's point of view on the slopes. It is also cool how you can control your own dude. So, if you are ever trying to find a game, get this one.

Not as good as the first

This game is not as good at the first but still is really good. The maps are much smaller than the first but has more lift choices and has a better first person mode. There is even night skiing!!! You also have to build a ridiculous amount of buildings before you build your resort. Good advice: Buy the first one.

Not as easy or as much fun as the other Tycoon games. This is difficult to learn and should come with a book that teaches some basic stuff. I am a Tycoon player from years back and have trouble with this game. Not for young people.
