Don't Bother
Let's speak bluntly: these games appeal to the same few thousand buyers who keep this genre predictably profitable. Big Biz Tycoon tries to spice up its well-worn premise by blending the traditional formula with elements of The Sims, but the result is a game that shrinks both genres.
You're placed in command of a fledgling company as you research, sell, and market products-buth this sequel adds handling tasks as mundane as decorating your offices and providing water for your employees. That's right: all the tedious aspects of The Sims, plus spreadsheets!
Running your own company in Big Biz Tycoon 2 is a real hassle. You'r a one-man dynamo, simultaneously playing the roles of CEO, CFO, and Martha Stewart as you balance budgets, hire and fire workers, delegate tasks to individual employees, and even choose between carpet and tile for your company's breakroom. If you focus only on the business aspect of the game, you'll find your employees standing around whining about the lack of air conditioning. We can understand having to deal with such minutiae in a small business, but even when your compan has grown to larger proportions, you still have to oversee every last detail of its operation.
The hassles of playing BBT 2 are worsened by its piss-poor documentation. The cursory manual and tutorial leave out many of the details on how to actually play the game, meaning you're stuck learning by trial and error-very frustrating when your business is at stake.
Other gripes include the game's mediocre 3D graphics enginge (which operates at a fixed resolution of 1024x768)and numerous bugs-I encountered everything from occasional crashes to show-stoppers that were fixed only when I started a new game.
Ultimately, Big Biz Tycoon 2's lack of polish and overemphasis on micromanagement overshadow the potential of the underlying concept.
Many Problems but a fun game
My wife and I go this and play it together. I have found several bugs in the code. For example when doing research/prodution/advertising you CAN assign multiple employees to the task. It says that the time to complete the task is reduced however after testing with 1-6 people on one project the time is not actually reduced. Keep this in mind. You can actually go pretty far by just having one employee on each project as long as their stats meet the minumum. You CAN succeed with just a few employees or you can have a slew of producers making every product available. Once you get the hang of this "Bug/flaw" you can stop wasting money and spend most of your time watching for prices to rise so you can sell and not go bankrupt. I have alot of problems with stability. If moving a chair that is used by an employee it will crash. Moving the Air conditioner outside will also cause a crash. Dont do those things and you can become a successful Biz Tycoon. I am just hoping for a patch.
Activision VALUE shouldn't be know as Activision Trying to make something. Great ideas but its missing some follow through. I agree this should have been a BETA not a final release. If the bugs can be worked out this would be a high paced game. Otherwise I would say its pretty addictive even with the bugs
Fun For Business, not for Graphics
I think this game is fun, but that is because I like tycoon games and business. Though it is fun, if you want great graphics/quality, I recommend The Sims Series. In the game:
You start out with cash (depending the level you set it to)
There are three different cities: Tokyo, Hamburg, And NYC.
They come in handy with selling your products across the globe, each city has a different layout, and I think you might be able to build offices in three different cities.
With the cash, you also start with a logo, a company name, and an office (You can choose these)
Your office is empty, and you need to furnish it. Hire employees that have attributes and claims on salaries. Research products, advertise, produce, and sell. Some products take longer to make and are more expensive than others. Sell and make profit. How much the products sell for depensd on the demand and the advertsiment. You need objects in your office because the employees have desires. Each week you have bills and they brake them down. The better the object, the more money it costs each week. You need security so opponents in business don't destroy your things or steal your technology. By the way, you have opponents. Click on their offices to see their budget, rank, ect. You can crush them or they can crush you. (Business Wise) Take out loans at the bank or invest your money.
The game is more simple than it sounds, but I would recommend it to people 10 years and older.
The game has some errors, though, and it might not work, but it could work fine. It depends on which computer you have.
You cannot control the time though. Each second is 4 minutes, and each hour is 15 seconds. The game goes for 24/7, and sometimes it can get tiring.
All together, I think it is fun. (But I still can't figure out what turnover means)
Price: $112.99
