This is a bad game. It is boring, tedious, and sometimes crashes.

If you want a building game you are far better off getting a tychon game because this plays just like it except it has 1/10th the excitement.

This game gets a definite SELL rating...

Capitalism is great and excellent game. If you like playing strategy games such as capitalism 1, you must enjoy this game. Why you still stand on here, you should get one immediately.

second to none

By far the best business simulation game in the market. Not another tycoon game aimed at entertaining the player, but rather a real business simulation game for the business oriented. It has many good features such as marketing, real estate, stock market, company merger, hiring top level executives, etc. Could be made better by adding philanthropy, supply contracts, city selection (rather than been decided by the game), games within a game ( choosing which industry you want to be involved in and let the game be based solely on that industry). Again, it is the best business simulation game out there, and a very good one as well.

Fun and serious at the time!

Great game, it develops very smoothly and it shows very well how's the deal in bussiness, in a simple way, but it does. sometimes you may get stuck in it but in overall, is quite easy to play with. Very instructional, interesting, relatively addictive. Highly recomended for people of those who are looking for some kind of a crash course in the bussiness world but in a fun way, without loosing real money. A+

Not in depth at all

This is not what is it cracked up to be. The first mission is you have to get a $90 Million net profit in a year from opening local grocery stores. That should be enough to let you know this is bogus. Furthermore, you have to achieve said $90 Million by selling 4 items in each store that have a mark up of 50 cents. So if selling 180 million loaves of bread in a year sound fun, then buy this game. Sim City 4 makes way more sense as a business simulator than this piece of junk.

Good for it's genre

This is a pretty good basic business sim,acquainting you with the basics of the supply chain and how business works. It can be a time eater!

Capitalism 2 is great!

I got this game a few days ago and it is great. The graphics are real good, the game detail is good, it is easily navigatable, and the tutorial is wonderful.
If you want to learn how the buisness world works, get this game!

Very difficult and frustrating

If you want to play this game, a recomend you that first, read all the Big Manual (that came with the game), and then try to play. It's a fun game, but you still in the same level by a lot of hours.

Not what I had hoped for

For business professionals and MBA students ONLY

Don't assume anything before understand what this product tries to deliver. This game has been using in business classes on many universities (especially MBAs). Even companies has asked the UBISoft to design a more specific scenario for more specific training needs.

Eventhough it is suitable for poeple age 6 and up, but you only get benefits from this game if you already have working experience in business. You could also get benefits if you plan to apply your own business strategy and design.

Never expect that this game appears as SIMS games, since they are in different market. Again, this game is intended for business professionals and MBA students. If you don't have any idea what MBA is, you are better off this game.

This game should be an advancement from the previous release, the Capitalism Plus. You can read about those in other comments since I don't want to repeat the same thing over and over again. But there is one thing that I always expect since the 1st release; international trading. This game assumes that all trading are in one country. I really wish that the next release has more countries that each has its own trading regulations and caveats. Trading between countries is always fun (and IT IS the real world).
