Finally a Tycoon game that can be worthy of being called a Tycoon game.
YOU ARE NOT THE MAYOR OF NEW YORK. So you can’t just go in and start designing streets, and building fire stations, if you want that boot up Sim City. This game isn’t a Sim City game ether, Sim City is a god building/Mayor sim, this is more of a business building Monopoly style game. Something that Donald Trump would really get into.
Now that we got that straight, the game is a beautiful design, sim of New York. The graphics are awesome, the buildings are very well done, the traffic, and the people walking around are all very well done, and diverse. The game sounds are also very well done, giving a very good feel of what a city of this size really sound like. The voiceovers are well done, and very New York like, the cut screens are well done, if not a little too over done, and there isn’t a way to end them fast.
The game is very open ended, and I think that’s why people are so lost in it. Kids now days, if not told exactly what must be done, just don’t have a clue, and have very little creativity.
If you looking for a Sim City game, then for God Sake, boot Sim City up, but if you want a game that toss in a little Monopoly, The Sims, and awesome graphics and sounds, then this is for you.
