    Ultimately, CT just doesn't have a whole lot of staying power. [Mar 2002, p.88]

    Car Tycoon may appear to be a decent ride, but if you're looking for a really excellent management game, you should look elsewhere.

    Commits the worst possible crime: it's simply no fun to play.

    As if the lack of stats wasn't enough, trying to figure out exactly what everything that is in the game does is frustrating, and the flimsy manual offers little help...The game also lacks focus and rationale.

    The combination of wretched design, brainless financial models, and buggy gameplay leaves you with the realization that you got suckered into buying a lemon. [May 2002, p.87]

    Piece of crap, my worst buy ever. Not only won't it work on my computer but the support offered was non existent to say the least. ThePiece of crap, my worst buy ever. Not only won't it work on my computer but the support offered was non existent to say the least. The little support i did get (1 reply in TWENTY SEVEN E-MAILS) was to download different drivers and change this and that setting which now means it still doesn't work (no other reply since) and to top it off ALL off my other games now CRASH on start up A BIG THANX TO CAR TYCOON (NOT) Overall a BIG FAT 0.00000.… Expand

    They should shoot people who dare to sell such a game in stores. Although I like such games, this one crashes tie after time. Tried on They should shoot people who dare to sell such a game in stores. Although I like such games, this one crashes tie after time.

After having some fun with the 1993 Detroit I was looking forward to another design,test and build car game. This one falls flat on its face in ALL aspects. Why can't anyone build a car design tycoon type game that is fun? So far Detroit is the only one that is 1/3 the way there. Sucky, Sucky, Sucky!… Expand
