Advantages: Nice idea, clever use of camera.

Disadvantages: Dull, complecated, boring, annoying

This game has its ups and its downs, well actually it has more downs than ups, For example one of its ups would be its appeal. If your a fan of this type of game then the moment you see it on the shelf in a game shop you would be quite excited. The thought of being able to build and run your very own virtual airport is quite appealing, and reading the back of the box it comes in only serves to escalate the excitement, and true, the moment you boot it up for the first time it is quite good but it soon ends. Actually it will end a few minutes later. This is due to the fact that its so very frustrating. The tutorial within the game is just plain useless. For example when you begin the tutorial it tells you what to put were and how. Youre thinking well is that not what its supposed to do? Yes but after you have placed the first few buildings you run clean out of money and the annoying bleeper thing constantly keeps going off to tell you to put another building down, easy solution. Start your own new game. When you manage to finally get planes to land at your port you have to just sit there for hours and wait till you make the slightest profit to buy new stuff. Its just plain annoying. The graphics dont do much to help the game. They are just plain and blocky and simple and not in the slightest bit realistic looking. On top of this the game is just to complecated.
The only entertainment value you will get from this game is from the different camera angles. These a actually quite clever. Its quite good to stand in the tower and watch a plane land and all the little trucks going to empty it. Overall the game may provide some short lived pleasure, but mostly its just sitting and waiting. Its dissapointing for a game associated with Take Two interactive who published the likes of hidden and dangerous, frankly they should have put their efforts into somthing worthwhile. Avoid.
