You really should buy this game. [...] This game is alot better than the other two Airport tycoons. The people writing the reveiws simply thought it would be WAY better than the other ones, so when they saw that the game was not as much better than the other Airport tycoons as they thought it would be,[...]

This is an awesome game that challenges the player to create the best airport possible. Many people think this game is not good, they are wrong. The only reason they think it is not good is because it offers the slightest challenge to them.

Simple, yet detailed!

This game is AMAZING! The cars move fast (well, faster than AT1), the terminals are great, & I feel satisfied w/ this game!

Just what I love

If you love the sim type game and a program with lots of fun, then this is for you. I'm a sim addict and this is one of the best that I got for Christmas.

Great Game

All other reviewers just can't take the time to learn how to play it. Once you learn it is the best game. BUY IT.

Better than AT1 & 2, but still needs improvement

It's true that this version improves highly on Airport Tycoon 1 & 2. But there are also many things I think need to be fixed. First, it still has a difficult, confusing interface. Also, it still has too many constraints (for example, if a plane stand is not positioned a certain way, it will not work -- you have to manually rotate it first). I would definitely choose AT3 over AT1 or AT2, but I am waiting expectantly for AT4, hoping that these problems will be addressed.

Slight Learning Curve

This installment is just a bit harder than the previous versions but the seasoned AT'er/sim gamer can catch on fairly quick. All in all it's a fun game with a few quirks but what would you expect from a series that has changed hands so much?

Airport Tycoon 3

The game is overall worth buying if you are into the workings of an aiport and always wanted to give it a try in a less drastic way...The game overall is something that can easily be made very enjoyable. A few texture issues and gameplay issues need to be addressed to keep the game more interesting, truely the only way to get through a full game is on fast forward. The music is less then desirable and may drive you nuts after a while. Being an aviation and airport buff I still enjoyed the game. Any news on Airport Tycoon 4? I hope they make another one making these nescessary improvements. I will definately be buying!

Patience is a virtue...

Other reviewers have pretty well summed up this game.

Here's my take on it:

+ the game is very well done. The interface, graphics, and sound are all top-notch. The animations and character units are believable and behave accurately enough. The interface is very detailed and allows you as much control as you could
desire from any management game.

- the game requires immense patience. Even after you build all the required items to get your airport running you'll wait a long time before signing airline contracts. Even with the game on the fastest speed you could wait 5-10 minutes of real time just to sign up one airline flight! Sometimes two weeks of gametime will pass before you get an offer from an airline. If you don't mind the waiting then this aspect won't bother you.

In summary I found the game to superbly designed but to be lacking in entertainment content. Waiting for something to happen with no recourse to affect it is often not that amusing. If you value fun over realism then you'll probably have a similiar take on it. If you favor realism then you'll probably love this game.

Take care

This game is going to take some time to accomplish

Wow this game is interesting it takes alot of time so unless you have some time on your hands because it is a pain in the butt. It looks like it would be fun though once I get it all set up but not sure when I can get it all set up.lol Make sure you read everything that comes in the box because the camera angle it starts with really sucks. If you read the manual though you can navigate pretty easily around the game.
