Don't bother. I love cars. I love business simulations, but just looking at the official website for the game turned me off to the whole thing. They INSIST you watch all their elaborate graphic animations, virtually guaranteed to waste your time unless you have a T1 hardwired to their server. I didn't even get past them to learn anything else about the actual game. ...

Best Game I have Ever Played

I own a bunch of sleezy car places and found that this was just like the real thing. I loved his game and it reminded me of when i cheat my customers. I reccomend everyone in the world buy this.
Peace out

Car Tycoon is a manager game in which you are the owner of a car company that produces and sells cars. You start in the 1950's in a small town somewhere in the USA. You build a factory, a car shop and a repair facility (most of your money is gone by then) and start to produce cars. By selling them, you'll get money to invent new parts which will then power your new car models. There are up to 3 computer players which want to become rich, too.

Features:

develop more than 400 cars, 7 different types
40 scenarios
more than 400 pre-made cars from 1950-2000
more than 300 different buildings

While I was expecting an average car simulation game, I have been deeply dissappointed by the Car tycoon. I expected something close to Roller Coaster Tycoon. This game is not even close. I enjoy the potential of building different car models and research, buying other parts form suppliers, I dislike the bugs that continue to plague the system. Too many times the sound cliches or system stops in the middle of something for about 30 seconds. The map is pretty. But it is useles. No markers for the outsourceing of components on the map and no way to measure your success other than the weak graph that sinks as you borrow money. The manual is useless and the WEbsite is yet to be completed. All from a game released 2 months ago. I agree with the reveiw below.

Ouch! Save yourself some $$ and pass this one by...

I am into cars and sims-and like many others, I was hoping this was the game I had been waiting for. Simply put: it isn't. I got through the first "year" only to have the game freeze (negating that hour or so of playing). The instructions/controls are extremely confusing. Also, while playing, it is very hard to figure out if you are profiting or not, because the cost of each car only includes the components used and does not include labor, etc. The website is worthless. With a few good patches and a complete/corrected instruction manual, this game might be OK-but it's probably too far gone even for that. Obviously they were trying to cash in on the "Tycoon" series popularity. Don't confuse this with the real thing!

Horrible Game!

This game is horrible! It has no point whatsoever and things take forever to do! I sometimes leave it there for hours so it can do something, and when I come back, POOF! All my money has gome down the drain! Sheesh!

a definite thumbs up game

This is definitly one of my favorite games, it's fun, realistic, it has good music. my only complaint is that even though a had a good 3dfx Voodoo 3/ 3000 video card, I still had to buy a new video card because everything except for the cars and buildings would be pitch black. Now that i have a new xtasy video card the graphics are great. I recommend anyone to get this game if you have a very good graphics card.

Great Game; Awesome

The cool parts about it is that you can have a lot of different cars and if you are a car fan you should get this game. you are a Car dealership thats wants to sell your cars, you control the prices of the cars, and the parts of the car.

If I could give this game a half star, I would. I love simulation games and was hoping that this one would be a newer version of Detroit (by Impressions many moons ago), but was very disappointed. It is hard to keep track of what is going on. Could use better reports. It locks up. Once while trying to exit, it hung and I finally had to shut it down through Task Manager. When you pop the CD into the drive, it tries to start installing again. Obviously not programmed smart enough to know that the game is already installed. And the movies at start up, where do I begin? Sitting through them once was more than enough. There is no way to skip through them, either, as I hit most every key on the keyboard as well as doing mouse clicks. Very bad game. Do not waste your money.

The concept for this game had me intrigued, however once I installed it all I can say is ....simple. There are so many possibilities in this concept that just don't pan out or simply wern't explored. For instance I can't change the color or name the car types. Also for some reason dealerships won't change the types of cars they sell. What can I say but the game lasted less then a week and now its a fairly good frisbee!
