Excellent Game, Best Tycoon game yet., 11 Jan 2004
It's a shame that, when a good game like this - with it's brilliant graphics, superb gameplay and almost completely bug-free engine - is released, not so many people hear about it. Yet other games that get released completely unfinished outsell the good ones by a bucketload. Simply put, this game is a very addictive, fun, exciting product. I have had it for 3 weeks now and I haven't experienced a single bug. The graphics are really top notch, and with a free scrolling camera that lets you go anywhere it makes it all the lot better.The gameplay too, is great. You can play either Sandbox Mode or Scenario Mode, there are 9 scenarios and about 14 sandbox maps. In sandbox mode everything is customizable like frequency of disasters, events, amount of money you start with, amount of guests and more. In scenario mode you start on the tutorial level, and gradually work your way up to the higher, harder levels. My only grudge there is once you get the hang of how to pull in the money it can get a bit easy. I find the actual in game gameplay brilliant. Once you've bought yourself a lot you fill it up with whatever you want to - and I mean anything from Nightclubs to Hotels, to Casinos, to Shops, to Strip Clubs, to Wedding Chapels and more. Sometimes the amount of options available to you is overwhelming, especially when you've just finished furnishing the outside of your lot, you build a casino, and you realize you have to do the same all over again but inside your casino. Some may like this, some may loathe this. For some (like me) I love building the inside of my casino. If you can't be bothered then don't worry, each casino comes with ready made templates that if you choose to use will fill your casino up with all the essentials and neat furnishings without you having to lift a finger. I find it more fun myself to build the inside of my casino by hand. On the inside you build everything from Gambling tables (including BlackJack, Texas Hold 'em, Carribean Stud, Let it Ride, Pai Gow, Craps, Roulette, Wheel of Fortune, Five Card Stud and Baccarrat), to slot machines (including Car Slots - where the prize is a car, or progressive slots, or the single slot machines), to Bars, Kitchens, Buffets, and of course all the maintenance offices such as cleaners, security and others. And you couldn't have a casino without all the beautiful furnishings such as flowers, fountains, lights, statues etc. Vega$: Make it Big will provide you with hours of entertainment. If you're unsure about purchasing the game because you haven't heard of the developer or you don't trust it, then brush that aside because I assure you, you will not be disappointed.
