Monopoly Tycoon is a misleading title [Posted on 2003-04-06]
The game works like this: You are given ever increasingly difficult goals (eg. make x amount of dollars by the end of three years) and you build up your ability level. Sort of. It is more of a mission-driven game than a classic tycoon game, which is why I think the title is misleading.

So my critique is: It is not really a tycoon / simulation game at all. You do not get to keep the properties you build up, though you do get to pick the colors, style, and quality of the buildings - which is a little pointless given that you lose the buildings at the end of the level. The game should be cumulative - the board game certainly is. The game does have good graphics, but I find that they only mask an uncomplicated and boring game. It is really unimaginitive, and doesn't inspire creativity at all. Other tycoon games are a better bet, and I would recommend Railroad Tycoon, Roller Coaster Tycoon, or possibly Maximum Capacity: Hotel Giant, for something truly challenging and engrossing.

Fantatsic Game! [Posted on 2003-06-23]
As with all games you can not please everyone. I have thoroughly enjoyed playing this game. It is hours of fun. There are so many things you can do. It is similar to the Monopoly game we all played as kids, but it has lots of twists to it. I am glad that this game was there to entertain those of us that enjoy a challenge. Thanks to J&R Music and Computer World for having it also.

Didn't like it at all. [Posted on 2003-12-12]
I enjoy Sim games so much that I got this game for my kids last Christmas thinking they would really like it since they love Monopoly.I was wrong. This game needs a doctor because something is definitely lacking. It wasn't what I thought it would be at all.I think the fact that the challenge is a short amount of time is what was the worst aspect of it.

A great game and business simulator [Posted on 2004-08-26]
I never thought that Monopoly could be applied to a game like this. It is really a business/economic simulator, because you have to take charge of aspects such as cash flow, sales, supply and demand, etc. However, a drawback to it is that it does not allow you to play a regular game--you can only play the scenarios. But it is an excellent game, especially if you want to practice business/economics.

Too easy to beat. [Posted on 2007-01-09]
Monopoly Tycoon is a continuation of the other Tycoon games. However, the levels are too easy to beat. The time clock on the game is too fast. An hour in game time takes just 30 seconds. A day is over in less than five minutes. On each level, you have to start over from scratch. You lose all of the property you bought and developed on the previous level. The best thing I can say about it is that I didn't pay too much money for it. I would recommend you find a free download and play it and save your money.
