First Thing On Our Christmas List This Year: Airline Tycoon 2

April 14, 2011 at 9:19 AM | by | Comments (0)

It’s not even May, and we already have picked out one of the first things on our 2011 list for Santa. We heard that Airline Tycoon 2 is coming out before the end of the year, and we definitely want it for in-flight entertainment on our next long-haul.

It's been around ten years since the first game made its debut, but the sequel is now in the works and for travel geeks like us it’s a dream come true. Players get to assume the role of an airline CEO and make all those important decisions. From airplane selection and design to creating your own airport base—it’s all up to you. While you're busy building an airline empire, just watch your back, as there will be plenty of competition for your passengers’ travel dollars. We just hope there’s no Richard Branson to outdo our airline style.

Kind of like a SimCity-type game, there will also be plenty of roadblocks in the way of you creating a leading global airline. Issues like volcanic ash could cause you quite the headache, along with sleepless nights, but if you waive change fees well in advance you might be an admired airline leader.

Fun and cartoonish graphics keep everything light, so no matter what kind of disaster you have to deal with you can always just laugh it off. The first version appears to only be for PC users—sorry Mac fans—but we’re thinking there’s a good possibility it will be eventually released on other systems and formats—maybe iPad too? .
