For those of you that like tycoon games for the business side of the game, this games for you! Cap and Capplus had some problems and awful graphics, but were still very fun to play because of the financial engine. With 6 yeas past since the release of Capplus, capitalism 2 should be great! A must have for all "tycoon" fans

First of all, I still playing capitalism plus sometimes b4 I got the sequel. Capitalism has an improvement in the graphic, even though it is still not very good, but the graphic is not all in this genre, the gameplay is excellent. the price is very low for a new and good game.I recommend all business sims gamers should own this game. u would not be regret!this time, u can own the media facilities and also u can build houses to earn rent

Best Business Strategy Game ever made! Absolutely 7 STARS!

I have played the game since the first version of Capitalism.
And I continue playing the sequel (Capitalism Plus) which is
better than previous version.
This third version's told to have many improvements in AI,
features, complexity, and of course the graphic quality which
I think is the only weakness of this remarkable game.
(I haven't played Capitalism 2 yet, but according to the quality
of the 2 previous versions, I am convinced that this sequel
would be much better than the previous ones).

Capitalism is so real, you can even feel that you are really
a tycoon of a business empire.

* But beware : you will have many sleepless nights!

Thanks to Trevor Chan and UbiSoft for delivering such great game.
I'll give 7 STARS for the game if allowed.

If you want to learn how the buisness world works, get this game!

From the magnificent set of a real corporation

Whether it's manufacturing, or retaling, mining or farming, or focusing in real estate or media, this game has proven to be perhaps the best business simulator of all times. I, myself, have been searching and looking everywhere i nthe web for a decent game that could bring strategy, real economic life and fun alltogether, but I was never able to satisfy my search. Yet this December, a new game publñished by the same company which published the first series, I found myself immediately buying the product which turned out to be outrageosly fabulous. The financial engine is magnificent, the graphics are incredible, and there's a number of details that will make you wish for this as you read: You may build mansions, you may take control of the nespapers the television the radio, you may buy and sell land, build headquarters, build houses and buildings and rent them, you may even hire a team of professional executives who will charge you for jobs such as Chief operating officer, chief marketing officer, chief technical officer, etc.. This game has taken me into a worl of finance no other have ever done, if you are reading this review to make up your mind about this product, I hope I may have been of some help on giving you the opportunity to invest in this.
This is far beyond any other product ever seen in the market open for everyone!

Really! business games have never been a real thriller for me. I play mostly flight sims, adventure games, space sims, and a few shooters like Wolfenstein. So, I decided to try something different. And boy! did I make the right choice. This game should be played by Graduate Business School students, as it would definately benefit their studies. The sim is that realistic and beneficial to business lovers and money managers. The game has taught me a lot about money management. I have Money 2001 for my personal financial management and I wish now I had more of it, so I could actually do all the things in the game for real!

So, for all those business people out there...run, don't walk to your nearest computer store and play this game.

Great business simulation

Capitalism II is a simulation of running a corporation, with you acting as the CEO. You make the decisions about what products to produce, where to sell them, how much money to spend on research, how much to spend on advertising, who to buy raw materials from (or to harvest them yourself), where to build your stores/factories/headquarters, and so on. It one of the most complex games I've ever played, and undoubtedly the most thorough business/economic simulation available to the general public. Every variable is controllable, from the amount of dividend your stock pays out to the price of eggs in your grocery store.

Many scenarios are available for you to play through, and it is also easy to make your own victory conditions, or just play an open-ended game. In addition, there is a multiplayer mode so you can compete against other human-operated corporations instead of the usual AI-operated ones (although human opponents are currently few and far between).

As you might expect, Capitalism II has a steep learning curve. Even after playing through the entire tutorial campaign, there were things I was unsure about. I then read through the User Manual, which unfortunately is small, repetitive, and lacking an index. Next I did a web search to see if I could find a web site with some hints or a FAQ. No such luck. Only after playing a few open-ended games and experimenting a lot did a feel that I had a good grasp on how to win at the game.

The technology of the game is acceptable, but not what I would call modern: The music is annoying (don't worry, you can shut it off), and the few sounds are repetitive (especially the farm animals -- cute idea, but tiresome). The graphics are very pretty, but low-resolution (feels like 640x480). The interface feels clunky at first, but once I got used to it I found it efficient. Fortunately, the type of person who plays this sort of game is probably not a person who will be too concerned about graphics/sound quality, so long as they don't interfere with the gameplay.

Overall, I give Capitalism II a 4 star rating due to it's originality, enjoyability, and surprisingly low price. It has some areas where it could be better, and it is probably not something you will still be playing a few months from now, but the simulation is excellent and I imagine many economics and business classrooms will find it to be a great learning tool.

Nice educational software, but it gets boring after a while.

I was very excited when I got this game, and enjoyed, learn something when played. But after a while, it got little boring. Should put some spice onto the software little more. user interface is little confusing, so you have to play "learning" scenario to learn all the interface. And I hope they put more educational facts, such as business term definitions, more accounting formulas, maybe some business case-studies; make it even more educational and fun to play...
