    Despite some shortcomings in the humor department and somewhat dated graphics, Airline Tycoon 2 is a worthy successor to the original classic. It's strengths are convincing characters and well-chosen voice-over artists.

    Airline Tycoon is like any good simulation – easy to pick up, devilishly difficult to master.

    This one really is old-fashioned in all areas. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but the controls are and keep the game from being a business simulation that we could recommend.

    Simply getting things done is a grating process. [Christmas 2011, p.107]

  1. Airline Tycoon 2 is a nice Game for ones, who love to managing things like that.
    You can be creative in things like "How your aircraft look l
    ike" and which Peoples you want to use your airlin e. It´s all about the price of a flight, if it is a long or a short flight, or if your aircraft is clean and nice or "Dirty" and boring My opinion is that this game is way to bad rated. This game deserves a better rating, and if the ones who play ego-shooter rate like that, because they are bored of these games, than they shouldnt rate games like that down, just because they like CoD more.

  2. i love this game i play the normal airline tycon before 13 years and i am suprise this game was very nice and the new one airline tycoon 2 was better as every game what i saw in this section Expand
  3. Airline Tycoon was an entertaining game full of unique features; unfortunately Airline Tycoon 2 feels like it is, at best, an uninspired remake. The gameplay is very similar yet less interesting than the first game, the UI is clunky, and Kalypso requires activation online in another horribly outdated DRM scheme.

    The gameplay is decent enough for a five dollar game, if you can grab it on sale it's probably worth it but I would suggest just buying the original and skipping the sequel if you can't.
