Attention serious ‘tycoon’ gamers: now boarding is the flight known as Airline Tycoon Evolution.

Airline Tycoon Evolution lets the players manage their own airline. It also offers them the opportunity to build planes adapted to each mission and to trade them over the Internet. The players must manage : schedules and itineraries, aircraft maintenance, menus and on board entertainment, morale and efficiency of their employees… In this world of fierce competition, the players must keep an eye on their security and prevent their airline from being sabotaged

Airline Tycoon is a race between four competitors to build up an airline into the most-profitable venture in the cyber realm. The game can be played either as a single player, with three campaigns or free play, or over the Internet in multiplayer mode. In campaign mode, you begin with a meeting with Dr. Uhrig, the airport manager. He outlines the missions, then sends you and your fellow ‘tycoons’ out to accomplish the tasks at hand. Each morning in the cycle, you attend a meeting and receive an update. Your day is filled by signing route contracts, managing airline personnel, buying planes and parts, scheduling departure times, upgrading your equipment, purchasing oil for fuel, and the general micro-management mayhem that comprises this game.

Need some quite cash? You can visit the bank and issue more shares of your company stock.

Sure, you can spend the day sitting at your desk, thumbing through the flight plans, but running an airline is hard work and you have to be constantly on the go.

The graphics are lush and colorful, and the animation follows suit. This is a nice game to look at. Sound-wise, the voice-over work is solid, and the effects associated with an airport (planes taking off and such) are inserted into the play.

The Aircraft Constructor is a drag-and-drop plane designer interface that is a pleasant surprise and fun to tinker around in. You can come up with some unique designs, and then share them over the Internet.

Airline Tycoon Evolution is not for the casual game player who wants to jump in, develop and then walk away. This game requires you to roll up your sleeves and get down to some serious micro managing.

This game is rated for Everyone.
