    It would have been nice if the different locations offered differing challenges, or at least a variety of building materials and styles.

    For whatever progress that the series makes in this third installment, it's undone by lackluster gameplay and poor execution.

    Although AT3 gets points for actually having an interesting setting--in theory--the execution not only leaves something to be desired, but is often downright numbing.

    The game feels empty and sterile. The airport never comes to life despite your best efforts. The game didn't hold my interest any longer an hour and I just didn't care to track down any help on the net.

    It only gets a 1 because I was able to find a way to launch the game. Realistically inaccurate by 4 1/2 miles, and half of the objects are scripted but don't appear in game, or crash it when you click on it. The graphics are OK for the time, but everything else is horrible. If you feel like buying this game, don't, at least give your money to charity so it does something better in this world than support this awful "Game"… Full Review »
