Advantages: Sound track is good

Disadvantages: poor manual & tutorial, dull to play, contains bugs.

I usually enjoy build em up simulation games, but not this one! The manual is thin and very unhelpful, and the tutorial is so slow that it is almost impossible to follow.

During the game itself you have to place essential elements like terminal buildings and runways on a blank map. When everything is in place you can then win contracts from airlines and retail outlets. It is these contracts which make your airport profitable.

In practice, however, information is thrown at you in a way that makes it difficult to interpret and there is very little potential for variation in building the fabric of the airport. Add to this the fact that the game contains a few bugs and you have a very poor effort indeed.

In short, therefore, we have here a game which is frustrating and which becomes quite dull after only a short time. If you want a good build em up sim, buy roller coaster tycoon instead.
