Fantatsic Game!

As with all games you can not please everyone. I have thoroughly enjoyed playing this game. It is hours of fun. There are so many things you can do. It is similar to the Monopoly game we all played as kids, but it has lots of twists to it. I am glad that this game was there to entertain those of us that enjoy a challenge. Thanks to J&R Music and Computer World for having it also.

Just to let you know, the LAN game supports up to six players, not four.

MONOPOLY TYCOON begins in the 1930s, when the original MONOPOLY game was introduced, and progresses in real-time through the decades up to the year 2000. As the game advances, the architecture of the buildings and the needs and professions of the people change according to the decade. Players get to see their city in the daylight and wee hours of the late night, and every hour in between. There's lots of work to do and decisions to hash through, as players compete to become mayor of the city and try to be the first to earn $1 million, or be the wealthiest player by the year 2000. With a click of the mouse, players interact with the city's residents to find out what the people need and want. Listening to the residents of their fair city helps players formulate strategies to determine what properties to buy and how to develop them. Make your city the most successful by constructing residential, commercial and industrial buildings that keep the population happy and offer the best deals around.

Beta looks good

I can say that I've seen the beta, and this game looks like everything that you'd ever want in a simulation: You have your building, of course, but you also run your business, compete with other businessmen, and in the tried and true fashion of good ole' American business, underhanded tactics are frequent and often rewarding in this game.

For it's price, you should pick it up immediately. Should be up for several awards if the final product is as good as it is shaping up to be.

The Ultimate Sim & Tycoon Game

The guys at Deep Red have done it again. The last time I was driven to write a review was when I had lost an entire weekend playing Risk II, created by the same bunch that have developed this little gem.

If you're into tycoon games or the best of the Sim games, you will surely love this baby. It will blow your Monopolies clean off! I've not long had my copy because I had to import it, but I've barely stopped playing it since I tore the pack open.

The AI provides great opposition, the 3D is genuinely gorgeous, the learning curve is nice and shallow, the entire game oozes quality from the moment you install it. I've just finished playing 10 hours straight over a LAN with my girlfriend. She's got bigger monopolies than me but boy, did I have fun beating her, and winning the race to be Mayor. The scenarios are so varied - in this one all of the citizen's of the city vote each day for the player that they want to be Mayor. How cool.

I guarantee, if you're like me, it will turn out to be the best 40 bucks you've ever spent. Be quick though, it seems to keep selling out. I guess that's confirmation of the fact that this is one awesome product.

Way to go, Infogrames - this is your best yet!

Monopoly Tycoon

I usually play the board games, the ones that are very easy to play. The tycoon games such as airline, are very hard and difficult to play and understand for me. Monopoly Tycoon was very easy and understanding and did not take alot of time to get started. Their are a number of reasons why. The game has alot of tutorials. Twelve of them. They take you step by step into the game. The game functons, the auctions, everything step by step. After the tutorials, when you play the game as a single player. The game has scenarios (tasks) that have to be accomplished before you can go on to the next one. Once again, this game takes you step by step into game. The gameplay progresses slowly at your pace. The game is beautifully done because of the way that this game brings you into the game. Playing a game is learning, and this game you learn alot more than other games of the like. I was impressed right from the very beginning. I would highly recommend this game, especially if you like playing tycoon games or are a great fan of Monopoly games as I am. It is great for all ages.

Very well done combo of strategy game and Sim

I just received this game and have found it to be suprisingly fun. The graphics are impressive (the 3D engine is particularly well done), and the game as a whole is very polished. I had very little problem learning how to play, as 12 detailed training sessions are provided. The sound and music are very well matched to the pace and tone of the game. I have not yet tried the multiplayer option, but if it is as well designed as the rest of the game, it will be a treat.

What a great game

Seeing all of the bad reviews almost made me consider not buying this game. They said that they got bored with it and such. I see endless possiblities for addictive fun. I highly recommend that you buy this game, and as more people get it the multiplayer will quickly build. I was highly looking forward to this game when I saw it in the store, and I can't believe that I let a few bad reviews almost sway my opinion and put me out of hours of fun.

Great!

Great game, not too complicated or not too simple. Great multiplayer capablities. Lots of fun would recomend it to anyone who enjoys Roller Coaster Tycoon, Sim City, Sim Tower, or an Monopoly Game. This is one of the best games I have played in a long time and would recomend it to anyone!
