Stick with SimCity or Capitalism 2 [Posted on 2005-02-25]
I was thinking "SimCity helped me learn about real estate and land use in a fun way, so maybe this game might help me learn something." This game has no educational value. But more importantly, it wasn't even fun.

Okay, maybe it was fun for about an hour as I learned my way around the game. But that was mostly anticipation. I then realized that I'd seen all there was to see. Don't waste your time. This game is simplistic and has no depth whatsoever. SimCity is still the best real estate game around, even if it is only in a roundabout sort of way. If you want a good, educational business game, try Capitalism 2. Good tutorials and an actual understanding of how businesses run. If you want a fun business game, there are plenty of other tycoon games that have to be better than this.

Yes there are more than five levels - play to win and you will get there [Posted on 2006-02-28]
I got to the first levels easily by following Donald's Instructions. Wow is it fun when the higher (hidden) level appears. I was unprepared for it. Much more fun than the earlier levels - but you have to achieve results to get to the higher level.
Only problem at the higher level (hence 4 stars not 5 above) is that Donald really plays hard ball.
You are battling against Donald and no matter how much you paint him into a corner the man will not lie down.
I for once would like to beat Donald at this game and so far when i am battling him i have not. It is so tough to beat him.
Fair is fair Donald. I have had 120 more properties than you. Income of more than 300 million than you. Assets far exceeding yours. In fact i have even bought up all your property and you have been left with zero income. And still you end the game with 'time's up' just when i have your back to the wall.
So that is my only criticism - Donald refuses to concede defeat and hides behind the 'time's up' rule when it is clear he is being beaten completely.
Just once Donald i would like you to come on with the voice you use earlier (when one passes through the first levels - and then hears your voice) - and for you to then say "boy you really beat me this time"

Look out too for the way you can earn more - i think it is a glitch - but it does help your bottom line [Posted on 2006-02-28]
Just occasionally you can earn extra for a property - but only occasionally. I still have to work out WHY it happens - but just occasionally i get the property set for a particular rent and it doubles the rent i receive for that property. I love it when it happens - perhaps it is an attempt to show that some suckers will pay more to rent a property than it is really worth. But it does assist your income stats when this glitch occurs.

Where did the tutorials go? [Posted on 2006-04-16]
I played the game through all levels of the tutorials and advanced to 'one-on-one' with D. Trump... I did okay. Then I didn't play the game for while and when I went to play it again and get a refresher from the tutorials they were "GONE"! Now the game will not play at all...... No help from the 'Website' either.. That is just an order site only. So I would not buy this again.

A FUN EVENT! [Posted on 2006-07-03]
Hey not many people I know watch the apprentice but pretty soon everybody I know will play the computer game of it! It totally rocks! You have to try it. Donald Trump is amazing. I love the game. And I got it from amazon for a really cheap price. Amazon has the cheapest prices you could imagine.
