Customer Reviews of Car Tycoon
Amazon does take software returns, right? You would think in this world of simulation games that kick butt ( Rollercoaster Tycoon, Airline Tycoon,Sims, etc.) that someone, somewhere, especially in the vehicle capital here in the USA, could come up with a good car industry sim. For those who are total car nuts like me, well, Car Tycoon is NOT it.
The translation of the program from German to English is bad, with text and the numerous error messages coming up in German sometimes. The game freezes for no reason and the graphics are stolen from the original simcity, not a compliment in 2002.
The interface is not easy to figure out and making money is not an option. Your factory can only build one car at a time, you must bid against the computer for more factories, dealerships,etc. The large dealerships can only sell 4 models of cars. You must spend a lot of money to research and develop cars, only to find out no one wants them. There is really no way to see how you shape up with competitors and no way to compare you cars to theirs, other than price. I can go on and on. Fishtank Interactives website offers no help at all.
I pre-ordered this for before Xmas and I love business sim games and cars, so I was anxious to get Car Tycoon. I should have kept "Detroit" by Impressions software, but I doubt that old program would run well on a 1.0ghz machine and Win ME.
Save your money, wait for someone else to do a better job with this kind of sim. Car Tycoon is not worth your time or money.
Don't buy this game
I bought this game because I loved cars. When I loaded it I found messages kept coming up in German. I returned the game for a new one. This seemed to work fine. I then noticed that the woman in the bottom right hand corner of the screen sometimes speaks German. I then discovered that sometimes when trying to sell off models, they get stuck and you can't remove them. The biggest problem I found though was that I put in 7 hours of work into a supposed "open ended game" to find that once saved, and I was the leading manufacturer, when reloading the game it comes up with a message saying "Time has expired" and then a message saying "competitor has attained goal". I would never but this game again, or anything from this supplier. I would never recommend them and if there were a similar game around by another supplier I would buy it because I don't think it could be any worse than Car Tycoon.
Horrible Game!
This game is horrible! It has no point whatsoever and things take forever to do! I sometimes leave it there for hours so it can do something, and when I come back, POOF! All my money has gome down the drain! Sheesh!
