New York City comes alive in Tycoon City: New York, the first and only Tycoon game that simulates a real-world city and gives players the ability to create and customize over 100 types of major businesses. Once I get the game and play it through, I'll come back here and replace all this with my review. This way you can check it out a little beforehand. Soon I will be receiving a copy of Tycoon City: New York for review, but since videogames take so much longer to review than DVDs and movies, I've put up this preview of the title until I can get actually get the game and review it. But then again, those were never really my type of games in the first place. So overall, if this game is typical of how these games have evolved, then I'm not impressed. Also, I didn't notice any kind of slow down or skipping, though that may just be dependent on how well your system is configured. But hey, at least the graphics are really good, especially considering you can zoom from a sky-view of the city to up-close-and-personal with your ants, er, people. Oh, hey, if you build up enough money and reputation they you can franchises! Yeah, wow, big-whoop. And even when you fail, you don't really fail, you just don't do as well as your competitors.Īnd it's also at about this point that the "okay, what else is there to do" feeling starts to creep inside your brain. I remember back in Sim City where it got to be quite a challenge keeping everybody happy, but this game practical tells you exactly what you need to do, so there's little challenge. The thing about doing this is, it's easy. So I planted a tree here, bushes there, hung a neon sign on this building, put 20 air conditioners on that building, and then whatever else that needed to be done in order to keep my maggots, er, people happy. It wasn't long before I realized that I needed to fix-up some of these places to keep people happy, you know, to keep the money flowing in. Once I accepted that, I went and started buying up other people's buildings. I was able to repeat that a few times, and then figured part of my confusion was due to me failing to realize that you can't just build any type of building anywhere you want. How do I build a building? I just kept clicking on the litter icons around the screen 'till I found one that seemed to let me place a building.
Tycoon city new york building how to#
You're first taken though a very short and over simplistic tutorial on how to play, though this didn't really help out very much, because once I actually started the game I was almost instantly confused. Initially, though, the game does start out as an enjoyable experience. Yep, after a while fixing up buildings and watching the money counter increase just gets boring and tedious. Three hours later: is there any way to make a meteor wipe out my city? Hurricane? Alien invasion? My initial thoughts: hey, this is pretty cool. Nowadays it seems that they're all fancified with 3D graphics and they make use of that upgraded processing power by giving you the opportunity to zoom in on each individual creature. Well, Tycoon City- New York is the latest in that style of games, so I was excited to get a chance to revisit the genre and check out how things have changed. for all of about 3 hours when we realized how boring it actually was. hold on a sec, did I just say "way back in the '90s"? Holy crap I'm getting old. Wow, I haven't played a game like this since the original Sim City way back in the '90s on my friend's Macintosh computer.
