Description Car Tycoon is an economic strategy game, which takes place in the four decades between 1950 and 2000 in the USA. Players will manage an automobile company and have to succeed against other competitors in the car industry. Develop, design, produce, distribute and market your automobiles. Your goal is to become market leader and trendsetter with your company in diverse fields of automobile production including sports cars, pickups, limousines, and other models. You'll be tested by making strategic decisions carefully considering demand, consumer taste, competitive companies, economic situation, raw materials/production machines and technical innovations
Summary: This is a car simulation based in the USA circa 1950. The objective is to become the market leader in a competitive (if fictitious) automotive market. To do this, you need to build cars, develope new technology and update your lineup to meet changing consumer demands. You really have to be a hard core car nut to play this for any legnth of time and not rip your hair out (I'm in this category) however. I enjoy this game, but only in fits and spurts. This is a good "bargain bin" buy, though.
Summary: Dont waste your time or money. Even on discount (and it will be soon) this game is not worth it! It missed a ship date already and it should have missed a couple more. Its full of bugs and the best part, all your errors are written in german. (i knew i should have paid attention in german class)So you have know way of even knowing what the error was. Good concept but poor execution. If your thinking of designing cars with hot options and upgrades. Then naming your masterpeice with pride... GO TO WALMART AND BY A MODEL CAR! I love sim games but they have to be done right, ie Roller Coaster Tycoon, Zoo Tycoon, Monopoly Tycoon. The sim world has been taken over by some real poor attempts lately, this is one of them.

Summary: This is a product I perceive being rushed to hit the stores due to backlog or the inventors simply can’t wait to ship it out of the factory. Lots of errors with the game play in which could have been corrected if not for more test trails back in the factory womb. You can purchase a particular stock value 540 on December and come January the new fiscal year, you’ll be amazed to know your share option is half of what you just purchased a month earlier. Sabotage the stock market to slump, seems like a good game feature to execute huh? Think again! Your XXX company can be the highest valued stock among all rivals but execute that business plan of yours, your company is the highest from bottom up! Does not make sense right? Next stop is the Big Customer shops lurking everywhere, a shop seeking at a desired model of car in which requires all manufacturers to submit their tenders. Problem is, you never know if you won the tender. In short this is not the kind of game where by one would spend playing 8 hours in a row. Part of that credit would goes to loading of the game to which at times I wonder if my pc is a 486 or Pentium 1.
