Airline Director 2 - Tycoon Game

No manual. Useless tutorial. I guess there could be a strategy game in here somewhere but even some simple documentation to explain the screen, menus and concepts would be nice. Tired of developers putting out products and telling you to guess how to play, or watch utube videos. Lazy. Refund.

This game is fine, if you understand what you're getting. I dont need any instructions having played this back when it was called "AeroBiz" on SNES. Basically this is one of your grandads tycoon games and Ive been wanting a new one to come out for a long time. This isnt even as in depth as the SNES version and I hope they refine this ported update but for %$ or whatever its delivering exactly what it should, no more no less. I reccomend, all things considered and put my vote out there for something like this but even more in-depth, ala a paradox game perhaps. Google : areobiz SNES" if you cant figure out how to play. Their instrunction manual was about as in depth as this one and I figured out how to play it when I was 9 so....I have faith you can too.

Cannot see a cursor within the game window....impossible to play. FIXED Now I have about a hundred questions..... 1. Where do my aircraft come from? 2. Do they fly ONE route or can I get them to service multiple routes? 3. Which routes are the profitable ones? 4. Why am I bothering with this? .... .... 98. A guide / manual / information would be nice. Any chance? 99. ..... 100. Remind me, someone, how do I refund this?

100% Rubbish. Game gives you NO tutorial and just tells you to click a map a few times and then crashes. Terrible tablet graphics and horrid music. Stay away at all costs!

This game is horrible. I will leave it at that.

[h1]Looks like a bad port from a phone game, bad tutorial[/h1] This is comically bad. There might be a game here, but the tutorial is so poorly implemented that you're left trying to figure out what seems like a fairly complex game with absolutely no guidance. After setting up five routes and less than a couple of minutes, your tutorial friend tells you "there's nothing left I can teach you" leaving you to figure out the vast majority of the game play and mechanics by yourself. No exit button, have to back out to Windows and close from there. Poorly thoughout cash grab of a game.

Even though I have played this games for hours now, it's a rather disappointing game: * No manual - no documentation of planes, fuel efficiency, nor route recommendations * Useless tutorial - to be fair, this game has probably the most useless tutorial ever * Broken - I am currently the only airline who is not in debt. All the others are $200,000-$400,000 in debt, yet they are still able to continue to play? What's the point in being profitable? Due to this, the other airlines still dominate certain continents/areas with their hubs (and flying to a competitor's hub costs quite a lot) Overall, this game is plane bad (pun intended). As the miserable person I am, I played this game too long to refund it, but please, until this game gets updated (in the good way), spare your pennies, and save it for something more useful, as this game will disappoint you.

All these negative reviews for a game that costs less then a meal at McDonalds. The game is exactly what one would expect from such a low cost game. It is not one of these cash-grab type of strategy/sim game. In fact with some added and needed tool tips, expanded purchasing options, and a bit more flexibility it could be a really great simulation game. The strategy involved is engaging, but you will have to play at least two times to grasp the concepts. Essentially, you are trying to figure out where to make the most money. When you have a market segment to yourself and no competition, you will do well. However, as the game progresses you begin competing with other companies for passengers along routes other carriers have. You will have to be smart, watch connecting flights, and be sure your planes are giving you a good rating. Additionally, sometimes the biggest planes aren't the best for certain routes. Sometimes multiple small planes will net you a larger sum of cash. There is no ...

Well sadly right now I have to give this game a negative review since it can't even be played. Try and play and get a white screen. Doesnt matter what grapics card I use doesn't matter what graphics settings are used. Hoping in time I get to change this review to a positive but at this point I would not advise purchasing this game.

Overall , I would really like to give this game a positive review, the idea is right , the overall concept of the game is good .. but you're left with an overwhelming void of where content should be. I played it way longer than I should have and i think i actually fell asleep with it running too. Heres a run down probably explaining better why people are hating so much on the game. Summary : Probably best to avoid in its current state unless heavily discounted or in an offsite bundle. + Concept and game idea + Plenty of planes + ... + Really wish I could put more here. - Tutorial ( non-existant , see below) - Map view shown with city names isn't in the game - 'Competant AI' - Spreads like wildfire , making big profits early game, soon bankrupts self after - ' AI is thinking ... ' even on fast forward, later on can take 30+ seconds / turn to decide - Music loop gets quickly irratating ( same loop in the video ) - Only 153 cities? (Advertised 156) - Economy either booms or goes in...
