Review of Airline Tycoon (PC)

Airline tycoon offers the game player the chance to run you own airline business. By buying planes and flying routes customers start to you your airline and like virtually every game out there are set targets to be achieved. Installing the game is very straight forward and has an easy interface to use. There is a tutorial which shows you the basics of running your own airline. There are four competitors to choose from. Once you choose the person ...
...you start building up your airline you need the staff eg. Pilots and waitresses. So you need to hire more staff. Each staff you hire has there own personal profile. Some are excelled in other languages so would suit a job in an airline very well and others are undergraduated lazy people who don’t want to work a day in their life. Their wages are really small but they don’t have the experience. As the game progresses and your airline is big and you ...

Review of Airline Tycoon (PC)

...I read the box for Airline Tycoon I thought I was going to get something like Theme Hospital where I could do just that but alas this was not the case. The airport is already there and the airline is already set up, this is a management game and make no mistake about it but I have enjoyed playing it. The characters are fun and the whole game seems to be very well designed but the excitement factor is low. You will find yourself running back to ...
...it is to make an airline pay it does that quiet quickly. The game is very easy to use, to move around the game you point and click or double click to go faster. To get information you simply click on different items or people and its clear. The graphics reminded me of Theme Hospital only more detailed and closer up, the characters are very funny, when they don't move they start dancing. As for sound, the music was none discript but when you talk ...

...idea of running your own airline and managing financial problems and labour etc, becomes every appealing once you being to play the game. The characters are amusing and when you pick which you want to play with, you are given your own office. Each airline begins with two planes, the standards of these planes can be improved by having cleaners, luxury seats and good quality food. The game is quite challenging as hiring ideal staff, buying oil for ...
...which informs you how your airline is doing, also how other airlines are doing. You can also buy branches from other countries, which has to be bid on by goign to the bosses office and looking at his notice board, you must make sure you have the highest bid or the other managers can outbid you. The planes must also be maintained well, for which you need to go to the engineers area. There is also a duty free, available to buy items such as a notebook, ...

...tycoon game popping up. Airline Tycoon is designed to see how well players can run an airport. The objective is to take orders and make money from them. That's basicly the whole game..... You start off in the managers office. There are four players including yourself. The four airlines are Honey, Falcon, Sunshine and Phoniex Travel (how did they come up with that selection) The airport manager explains what your doing right and what your doing ...
...sent to their office. In their office is a model plane and a globe. By clicking on the plane you can spend money on upgrades. Clicking on the globe let's you give your planes flight orders or cargo orders. If you click on your office door your go into the airport. The airport has been designed with simple graphics. It's bright but does it's job well. All the offices are upstairs and the terminals downstairs. By visiting the order centre you can ...

Review of Airline Tycoon (PC)

Airline Tycoon involves you, a stupidly-named entrepeneur, running around an airport trying to manage an airline. The entire game is based in the airport, in which you carry out all manner of tasks: hiring staff, buying planes, meeting managers, checking mail, flight planning, all sorts of stuff. The game has two modes: mission play and free play. I was quite dissapointed with the missions: they were good at first but more of a tutorial than a challenge. ...
...on how you choose to play (to cheat or not to cheat?), as you must pick out the best orders from travel agents for your planes to fly (you open up your own flight routes later), which takes up most of your virtual 9am-6pm day. Once I got past taking troublesome orders and starting my own routes, however, I found that everything suddenly started running itself and that there was very little for a person to do. A free game may be ongoing without an ...

...the new exucite of an airline in a brand new airport, you can choose where your airport is based from a list of world cities. You have competition from 3 other airlines and the aim is to build the biggest safest and best airline. Make sure the staff you hire are od a good calibre otherwise you end up with tragedies of a grand scale, and make sure you keep your planes well maintained and use a good quality fuel otherwise the planes spend more time ...
...cellphone and filofax that an airline boss needs. If you use the cheats on this game you can have even more fun by paying a saboteur to sabotage other airlines eventually nearly causing a crash however do this too much and youll be fined by the airport manager. Overall an interseting game, but it does lack a certain addictiveness. Excellent graphics and good platfrom but v v annoying music. I picked it up for 9.99 ...

Review of Airline Tycoon (PC)

I love sim management games, and the tycoon games are usually excellent fun. However, this game was sorely disappointing. I bought this game for 9.99 from Game a few weeks ago and to be honest have only put this game on once. Your objective is to run the airport, which is already in place, there are no objects to move, no staff to hire but there are missions to get your planes on certain runs. The game is very one dimensional, you literally move ...
...almost! You do get to go into offices but you cannot move around or do anything, except read your mail. If you like the management games because you like designing the rooms, then this game is NOT for you. I am sure it would suit you though if you wanted to make sure your planes completed certain missions and do not like the setting up bits - except in the plane itself, where you get one view of the plane. You can upgrade the seats, food and comfort, ...

...You basically are an airline company and you have to go around and make as much money by getting customers to fly your airline company. You have to build airplanes and hire people so there is a lot of micro mangament which is certainly a very good idea. I also like the way that you can get control over finances and this adds a lot of competition in the game becuase there are as always oppenants. So if you like management games then you should definately ...
