A nice little sleeper here that’s destined to find fans among those who crave a fine blend of construction and financial simulation.
-
Without apology, this is a good game that most any sim player should enjoy very much. Enlight deserves praise for not wasting time making the game look a certain way — and neglecting good game play.

PC GamerPatience pays dividends, but won't cover these clubhouse fees. [Feb 2006, p.49]

-
There are way too many game elements that hinder the game's overall fun factor – and without a patch, you may have problems with a variety of bugs - including the ability to save your game.
