Ski Park Tycoon Demo

Ski Park Tycoon is a simulation that lets users build their own ski resort, complete with most of the things that you would expect to find when going on a trip.

If you’ve ever been on a ski trip, then you probably stayed in a resort. Most of the time the resort is just fine, and it’s well thought out, but sometimes you think that you could have done a much better job with the layout and the facilities. Even if that’s unlikely, in Ski Park Tycoon, you have your chance to build something that you would like, even if it's something that only you will see or even appreciate.

It’s also worth noting the danger of attaching the word tycoon to any game. This genre has some pretty famous and really good games, so if you’re going to put Tycoon in the name you’re going to be held to a very high standard. Most players that have tried simulations before know exactly what they want, and that is quality above all else.

For the most part, Ski Park Tycoon is full of good ideas, but the execution is somewhat lacking. That’s understandable, to some extent, because this game is built by a single developer. With that in mind, Ski Park Tycoon is decent, to say the least.

The demo version of the game only comes with eight campaign missions and seven sandbox scenarios, and these are more than enough. The players have full control over the camera, and they have access to pretty much anything that you can imagine, ranging from simple cots for tourists to relax in and to huge ski installations.

Just in like any other simulation, you need to think at all of the needs of the customers. You need to provide the with a parking lot, the means to get up the track, somewhere to rest, emergency services, a place to eat, and so on.

The biggest problems seem to be the uneven terrain and the terrible menus, but if you're willing to overlook the issues, you might find a decent game hidden deep underneath Ski Park Tycoon.
