Good Concept but BAD Game Design [Posted on 2004-09-09]
When I read the game description it sounded like a blast. Then I tried playing it and it was really bad.
1. No real in-depth instruction on how to make money
2. The employees don't leave and always complaining
3. Can't advertise, can't have a project and research project go at the same time.
4. Relocating and buying stuff was the only good thing about the whole game but by then your broke.

I don't recommend this game at all even if it cost $1.00, buy a soda instead.

SUCKS!!!! [Posted on 2005-01-29]

Try Capitalism 2 [Posted on 2005-02-26]
I was thinking "SimCity helped me learn about real estate and land use in a fun way, so maybe there will be a game that might help me learn more about about business." This was not the game. The documentation and tutorials are terrible. I don't remember exactly but I gave it an hour (or maybe two) of playing, but really felt stuck and bored.

The sad thing is that the game appears to have a fair amount of depth and detail, but it's really unclear and I didn't know what I was supposed to do, and when I did, I didn't know how to do it.

In addition to the difficulty I had with the game, it just wasn't what I was looking for. "Big Biz" is about running an office and handling employees and delegation. If you want a decent business game, try Capitalism 2. It has good detail and depth, good tutorials and an actual understanding of how businesses run. For some people, it may be a subtle distinction, but for me it's all that matters: In Big Biz Tycoon, you run an office. In Capitalism 2, you run a business.

Skip this game [Posted on 2005-11-20]
This game is not any fun. I bought it and thought.. well.. at least it made an attempt. I just want no one to waste their money on this game.. because it is really, really bad. The graphics are something to be desired. While for the price.. it's not much.. you may think.. oh, I might like it.. spend it on something else!

All-Right [Posted on 2006-02-25]
This game is ok. My favorite part is going to tutorial and pressing escape. I can't get from one level to another. I lose money all the time.
