Save your money

I got this game for Christmas and I thought it was going to be great, because I loved Roller Coaster Tycoon. This game, however, is not nearly as good as RCT. I hated it! The little hand was really hard to control and there didn't really seem to be a purpose to the game. What you had to do was build buildings, and most of the buildings required a less expensive building on the resort to be built before the building you wanted could be built. You couldn't look in the buildings or anything. Save your money on this one, it's not worth spending on. Buy something that can let you have more control, if that's what you like. This is only a good game if you want to just see the little buildings placed around and watch skiers ski, but you can't build much yourself or anything. I think Roller Coaster Tycoon, or The Sims, or Sim City would all be better alternatives to Ski Resort Tycoon.

This game is campy and boring. There was no thought put into this game and it was easy to tell. I would not recomend this game to anyone.

This game stinks!

My disappointment started buying the software! It felt like there was nothing in the box. It comes with no instruction manual, no warrenty card, nothing except the cd-rom. When I first played the software I got an ilegal operation screen about ten times before I got the software to start. Once I got it started, the software runned very, very slow, sometimes it would freeze! When I got the game to start to work (after about a hour) the game ended up being no fun! You can build things (but limited quanities) then I just gave up and felt like I wanted to return the software, but I couldn't because I had already opened the box, and it came with no warrenty card. Don't buy this software. It stinks!

Bad Graphics, Bad gameplay, Bad Everything!!!

Maybe a little kid would enjoy this but for a hard core fan of other tycoon games like rollercoaster tycoon stay far away. The slow mouse pointer and the dos like graphics don't turn me on. Unless you are dying to design a ski resort, look elsewhere. There are plenty of other tycoon games that will be coming out soon that are bound to be far better then this! Trust me! If you are a serious gamer don't buy this!

Hated it

This game is the worst game that I have ever played. The graphics are horrible,plus it is just plain boring. The only fun I had in this game was making a gigantic pit and then watching the skiers and snowboarders fall all the way down. tip: get another game.

Good Try

First of all, I thought it was by Hasbro like RCT, but it's not, it's by Activision. I have a pretty good computer with 42 Gig, and it says that I have insufficient memory to play. If you know that it will work on your computer buy it, but I don't know if it is a very good game.

Confusing

I checked out this game from my library. I could not figure out how to do anything! It was very confusing, and the manual offered little help. My skiers kept crashing and dieing, and I could not figure out how to build anything! I am so glad that I did not spend any money on this game.

A 19.99 WASTE

This game is for people of simple minds, who like simple things, and think very simple. The game was very bad, who ever made this game needs to try again. Things wrong... *Cant turn veiw on screen(no left to right changing) *Very slow, and sometimes to fast *No real goal, just build it and they will come *Horrible sound *Not enought choices And Many Many more...... I would invest my money in something that makes sense. Good qualities... *watching skiers fall!
