    Hmm... 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!

    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 several pc's, tried several patches and still doesn't work good enough to play for more than 3 minutes till you get the crappy "fatal error" or "access violation in ...".

    Some nice cars but to top it off it should have some good looking girls in it.

    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. 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 startPiece of crap, my worst buy ever.

    Detroit is a better game with a more intelligent economic model. Detroit has more options for building cars and a much better research model. If you're thinking of buying this game--do yourself a favor--don't.

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

    This little number's a shiny new lemon. [May 2002, p.69]

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