    Airline Tycoon was an entertaining game full of unique features; unfortunately Airline Tycoon 2 feels like it is, at best, an uninspired remake. The gameplay is very similar yet less interesting than the first game, the UI is clunky, and Kalypso requires activation online in another horribly outdated DRM scheme.

    The gameplay is decent enough for a five dollar game, if you can grab it on

    The gameplay is decent enough for a five dollar game, if you can grab it on sale it's probably worth it but I would suggest just buying the original and skipping the sequel if you can't.

    Simply getting things done is a grating process. [Christmas 2011, p.107]

    Airline Tycoon is like any good simulation – easy to pick up, devilishly difficult to master.

    This one really is old-fashioned in all areas. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but the controls are and keep the game from being a business simulation that we could recommend.
