I have to agree, both games are pretty bad. Big Biz is too difficult to understand on how to play and Trump's game is very boring. Cap2 is a much better way to go.

I was thinking "SimCity helped me learn about real estate and land use in a fun way, so maybe these games might help me learn something." Neither game had any educational value. But more importantly, they weren't even fun.

TRUMP REAL ESTATE TYCOON:

Okay, maybe it was fun for about an hour as I learned my way around the game. But that was mostly anticipation. I then realized that I'd seen all there was to see. Don't waste your time. This game is simplistic and has no depth whatsoever. SimCity is still the best real estate game around, even if it is only in a roundabout sort of way.

BIG BIZ TYCOON:

The documentation and tutorials are terrible. I don't remember exactly but I gave it an hour (or maybe two) of playing, but really felt stuck and bored. The sad thing is that the game appears to have a fair amount of depth and detail, but the interface is really unclear and I didn't know what I was supposed to do, and when I did know what I wanted to do, I didn't know how to do it.

In addition to the difficulty I had with the game, it just wasn't what I was looking for. "Big Biz" is about running an office and handling employees and delegation. If you want a decent business game, try Capitalism 2. It has good detail and depth, good tutorials and an actual understanding of how businesses run. For some people, it may be a subtle distinction, but for me it's all that matters: In Big Biz Tycoon, you run an office. In Capitalism 2, you run a business.
