Guide Review - "Airport Tycoon 2"

I had high hopes for "Airport Tycoon 2." I love "Airlines 2," which is published by the same company, so I thought this one had potential. I was quickly disappointed because of the difficult confusing interface and lack of help in the tutorial missions.

3D graphics are nice, if done well, which they are in this game. However, great graphics with no gameplay does not make a fun game. The buildings cannot be rotated, no terminal design options, no instructions, confusing building process, and buggy features are just a few reasons to avoid "Airport Tycoon 2."
