Airport Tycoon 2 PC Game

Coming nearly three years after Krisalis Software Ltd.'s original game, Airport Tycoon 2, by developer Sunstorm Interactive, gives players a full 3D management simulation in which they control every facet of building, maintaining, and operating an international airport. Industrious managers must start at ground zero by buying an appropriate location in one of more than 25 major cities around the world, negotiatiing contracts for airlines, flights, businesses, hotels and fuel, and providing facilities ranging from storage and public services to transportation and emergency services.

Airport Tycoon 2 offers two major game types -- scenarios and free play. Players looking for extra challenges can play a wide range of scenarios that usually provide a limited time frame in which to meet objectives such as earning a profit, establishing a minimum number of airlines, and managing natural disasters (earthquakes, blizzards, tornadoes, and so forth). More than 60 buildings are available for construction with literally dozens of objects ranging from lounge chairs to metal detectors. Dynamic weather changes, security concerns, adjustable speed of play, realistic passage of night and day, and more await airport managers looking to move both passengers and cargo. ~ Michael L.
