Guide Review - "Air Traffic Control Simulator" Review
This game has everything you need to experience the job of an air traffic controller. The graphics are not fancy, because they are represtative of actual maps used by ATCs. The sound isn't fancy either. The sound consists of beeps and voices of pilots. The difficulty of this game depends on which scenario and city you are playing. The busier the airport the more difficult it is too keep track of the planes approaching and departing.
