Guide Review - AIRLINE
The easy way to describe AIRLINE is simply to say it is an airline management game. Seems simple enough, but the game is rather complex. As the owner of an airline, you control the flight schedules (you actually set them up), in-flight services, advertising, and much more. In fact, the only option I can think of that isn't available is hiring individual staff members. I was impressed with the ability to pick the meal plans, types of in-flight services, seating plans, type of seats, and airports available (had all I could think of!).
AIRLINE's downfalls come in the form of amateurish graphics and no in-game tutorial. However, with further digging (reading online documentation), the game will capture the hearts of management sim game fans.
