Firstly I am going to tell you a bit about the game in general, and then I am going to tell you what I think of the game, after playing it for 2 years.

Netropolis is an online game where you need no software to run. It's done on the web, and you can access it on any machine. Lol.

Netro is a bit of a strategy game, where you buy land, and build properties using a company, which you have created. When you have created a new company you firstly go into a Town, with a limited amount of money (50k) buy properties from other people or wait till there is some free land. As soon as you have some plots you are able to build on them. Begin a Newbie the properties that you can build will be limited, and not earn that much money. But if you keep on working at the plots of land you will go up HQ levels, which will allow you to build better things for example burger bars, and High street stores. The money you earn from them will allow you to takeover more and more. If taking over properties from people costs you too much of your hard earn cash, then you might consider bombing the property, which will be cheaper. But might make the owner of the land a bit angry. Just think - what would you do if someone come along and bombed all your land and then took it?
Once you have 5% of the Towns map, then you hero. Hero means that you have successfully won that Town and it goes in the section in your profile "Heroes" some people have heroed up too 150 places.
Once you have completed the Town you then go onto the Cities, which are harder because the People you are playing are bigger and have more land. You have a few different properties that you can build for example Hotels and Cinemas. Cities you need 8% land, then you go onto Capitals, which is even harder. As again the companies and people are a lot bigger and the land they hold is also larger. You need to hold even more land here, which can be quite hard, if you complete the Capital. Then you
can go onto the Heights.
The best of the best are there and the amount of land that you can hold is unlimited so if you want you can have 100%, which is a lot of land. The only way to complete the Heights. Is to have 300million in Cash. Onshore. Which will take about 2 months or even more. If you complete this one. You are real good. You can either Play in some other place or quit. Most of the people who I know continue and make the company they have even bigger than what it is.

I started playing this game about 2 Years ago, and spent around 12 hours a day, making sure that the land I have it not attacked by other people. Within time, I became one of the biggest underground players in the game, I didn’t want to be known that I was worth large amounts, because I know I would be attack, because some people have a thing for good players. My tactic was to have 30 companies, which was not against the rules, and use some of them to feed my main ones. Which if you think about it is a good idea. By Biggest company was worth 1billion, and the smaller one about half.
THIS WAS a great game, but sadly people found holes in the game and used them to their advantage. For example some people use Bombing programs created in Visual Basic to blow up large amounts of the map. Quickly. Seeing all your land blown up within minutes makes you a bit stressed. Just think about all them hours it took to get all the land.
NOW cheaters and programs run the game, and people like me just can’t play. And it makes the game impossible. I quit about 3 months ago, because all my companies was hacked and destroyed by someone who did not like a successful person, they was asking for large amounts of money, And I said no. You would do the same.

IF the cheaters and programs were kicked off then this would be a great game, but as they have not then I have to give this a really poor rating. Oh this is my first opinion and would be happy to hear from fellow doo
yoo people on how the content has been, And if you have any ideas of improving my opinions. I'm not the greatest writer in the world.
Thanks again
