Book Reviews of Tycoon City: New York (Prima Official Game Guide)
Book Review: The usual
Summary: 3 Stars
Let me start off by saying that you don't actually need a strategy guide to complete Tycoon City: New York. The game basically plays itself, and you'd have more problems with technical issues (eg, crashes) than actually not being able to complete mission objectives. Which makes this book kinda redundant, basically.
Nevertheless, this guide still serves well as a secondary resource, especially if you're looking for a complete list of buildings that you can build in the game. Take note, however, that there're some variances between what was written in the book and the game. The Loews Cineplex, for example, is simply called the Movie Cineplex in the guide, so you may find yourself slightly confused if you use it extensively.
This book also covers all the opportunities, which is what you'd expect for an official guide. Unfortunately, the coverage on the prize opportunities is a little weak, often ignoring the details, and at times, listing the wrong rewards for them. The book also mentions that completing opportunities is compulsory for unlocking new districts in the game, but that statement is erroneous as well, since the key to unlocking new districts is basically to build up to a certain percentage of an area.
On the whole, this is an ok effort for a reference book, even though it's a little mundane.
