ABSOLUTLY AMAZING [Posted on 2005-02-26]
The game is absolutly amazing and it costs only few dollars. It worths every penny you spend !
You are a manager of an airline and you must beat your 3 opponents on the market. Great feature is you can project your dream plane from 0 to 100%. Nothing seen before.
The game-graphic is like a cartoon and I think this is a plus on this game.
Buy it, buy it, buy it...and if you are not sure on what to do, I tell you again to buy it.
From a 25 years old kid.

EXCELLENT - - - RECCOMENDED [Posted on 2005-06-11]
I LOVE this game, it's a little rough on the edges, but overall, a great game. I especially love the fact that you can sabotage your opponents! To do this, you go to the duty free shop and buy the violin case (if it's not there by the second day, then it probably wont ever be there) then when you go to the petroloil place, you click on it in your inventory, then he says something like "push on the fire extinguisher to your right, it might interest you" then do what he says and you will be in the back room of petroloil, talk to the guy back there and he will sabotage your opponents for you! AH! BUT HOLD ON, It's not so easy -- you have to pay him a LOTTA $$$, but it's worth it, and if the airport manager finds out, you have to pay a BIG fine, much more than the sabotage was worth, and then your competitor knows that YOU sabotaged him, instead of it being a mystery, so he gets all mad at you. It's also a good idea to go to their website and dowload the available patches when you get the game, and check back often.

Sincerely,

How did it??? [Posted on 2005-06-27]
Hmm, I wonder how it turned to this. All the amazingly massive games I have... World of Warcraft, Battlefield 2, Grand Theft Auto... How did it turn to this? How could I become addicted to a game that only requires 133 Megahertz and was purchased a year ago from Wal-Mart for 10 bucks? A game that was made in 2002 that just followed (and yet strayed away from) the trend of crappy "Tycoon" spin-offs after Roller Coaster Tycoon? But, it's so fun , I tell myself. Despite the overly cartoon graphics, the simplistic game, the numerous bugs, I found so much depth into that game. The game... Airline Tycoon.

Of course, I doubt you can really find any major retailers selling it any more, as even the company who imported the game from Germany doesn't even have a page that talks about the game any more. But, I found that the game goes really into depth about running an airline and working with stock. Hmm...

Well, all I can say is that this game really saved me on a roadtrip. One where I was only armed with a really old laptop that putts along trying to run Word. I think it is worth a play if you can find it. =)

Lots of fun [Posted on 2006-03-30]
This is a great game, playable for hours and hours. Having to set up flights day after day would seem to be boring and repetitive, but for some reason it is actually addictive. There are several side things that you have to do as well, such as purchase fuel for storage when the price is low, advertise to get a better image, buy and sell company shares from all 4 airlines, etc. The biggest flaw with the game is some kind of manual check that comes up. I think it is to verify that you have a legal version or something. This comes up randomly and sometimes often. It really can ruin your concentration and throw you off your game. Aside from that, the game is a lot of fun for the money. Just don't pay more than $10 for it and it will be worth it.

Needs Work [Posted on 2007-01-14]
This game, while including some very nice expansions on the original Airline Tycoon, had some major bugs in it.

For starters, parts of the text in the game were in German. Particularly the news-stand articles. Also, part of the airport announcements were done in German, and English. The copy of the game I had was supposed to be the US release version, so there should have been 0 German text to begin with.

Furthermore, the planes that the player could build weren't painted in the livery of the player's airline. They were left in unpainted metal. Furthermore, the design elements were limited, and some not very attractive. It gave the aircraft a cartoonish look.

Overall, I'm disappointed with Airline Tycoon: Evolution. If you ask me, it was more of a De-evolution.
