    If I had not tried Airport Tycoon 1 and 2 beforehand I would rate this a 0. It scores one point just for being marginally less tedious than they were. Why oh why can't someone write a decent airport sim?

    I think it's a great game... To unpause the game, you'll have to click on the airplane icon on the bottom left pane... duh... experiment with the controls if you find problems with a game. Don't just rush into saying negative remarks about someone's hard work.... Cheers

    Ok idea but several errors involved in realism, incredibly buggy at times and incomplete (no jetways)

    It does not do what is promised, this is one of the worst games I ever played. They should give you a refund for this crap.

    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" Expand

    Could have a little bit more traffic and different building styles but otherwise it is OK. Actualy I gave this grade just because I'm in love with flying (and planes) and I alwys wantd to have a Airport tycoon.

    I have seen 1 and 2. 3 is no better. The game pauses itself and won't unpause no matter what happens. It's nearly impossible to play this game for more than about an hour without getting bored enough to eat stones. Chasing information down on their website rewards you with broken links, jet sounds that turn back on after you turn them off (with every new screen) and in general extremely poor programming, logic and game play. Before buying this game consider an intense colon cleansing. It'll be more fun and more rewarding. Expand

    the demo was fun, but bland so hoping the game would be fix this i bought it, unfortunately the game was full of bugs and broken. to start out the manual is full of spelling and grammar mistakes, and completely unhelpful. then once i got through one or two years the game started bugging out everywhere:"do not have enough bus stops" when i had over 200, planes stopped landing, i got a free building and i started getting heaps of free money. there is a meager two scenarios which take 15 minutes and are barely different from the normal mode. i love the concept its a pity the game is completely broken. 26/100 Expand

  1. For whatever progress that the series makes in this third installment, it's undone by lackluster gameplay and poor execution.
  2. 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.

    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.
