As with most tycoon games, in Airport Tycoon 3 you start off with a big plot of land and a large amount of capital. In theory, there should be a couple of dozen flights a day at this airport, but it always feels empty.Īirports are certainly an interesting subject to build a tycoon game around, and they're definitely a change from the glut of zoo/wild park/theme park games on the market. That's because for whatever progress that the series makes in this third installment, it's undone by lackluster gameplay and poor execution. Unfortunately, this couldn't be further from reality. So after three iterations, it'd be reasonable to expect that the developers would have honed the gameplay in Airport Tycoon 3 to a razor's edge. As its name suggests, Airport Tycoon 3 is the latest build-it-and-planes-will-come airport strategy game from developer InterActive Vision.
