All of these options might lead you to think that the learning curve is steep and slippery. It would be, were it not for the slick interactive tutorials.
Everything is very logical and intuitive, and the developers chose the right way to gradually introduce you to more and more complex features off the game.

The game requires quite some effort to learn, but once competition picks up against the aggressive AI, Capitalism II shows its colors as a great strategy game. Also, as if to help your own bottom line, the game's a real bargain at $20.
The most exciting new feature for many Capitalism II players is its multiplayer game. [Apr 2002, p.80]
The only problems were with the interfaces, which get confusing and messy, kind of like my desk, so I guess that is a little too realistic.
If you have any inclination to explore the inner workings of business, Capitalism II has a lot to offer. [May 2002, p.86]
The good is very good, yet the not-so-good list is long and much detailed. What’s a gamer to do?
8/10 for a 2001 game ,

This is for Capitalism 2 Lab ===
This is an interesting game. I've invested at least 25 hours in it. I was especially interested in the stock market element.
As far as an economic simulation, seems sound enough. As far as a fun game, so and so.
The good:
* Interesting simulation, takes into account macro economic factors.
* Decent enough graphics, very Simish.
* The competitors are very aggressive.
* You can buy businesses out.
* Many, too many business types.
The bad:
* There is no real end goal. You can only make more and more and more money until a point about the 4 billion profit mark.
* Performance issues. On a i7 processor with 4GB ram, it lags hard with 30 competitors on advanced mode which is weird. Very weird.
* About 20 minutes into the game you will always get a strange bug. Save, exit, load and it's gone.
* I don't know how stock values are determined by sometimes, they are stupid. About 100 years into the game (which is not a lot, on the fastest speed it's about 10 minutes) once you buy out your competitors, new competitors will arise. Their stock value will start at $500 $1000 simply because they start with 3 billion of capital. It's strange when a company with a huge profit trades at $500 and a new start-up with zero revenue trades at $1000.
* The people you hire are virtually useless. For 100 mil. salary they should be useful.
