Eventually you'll travel to Chinatown, Times Square, Liberty Island, and everything in between. You'll start out in the Greenwich Village district of Manhattan, a small sparsely populated area oriented towards student life. The city itself is divided into twelve different districts all well researched, and as you progress through the campaign these districts become available. Whether it's building a profitable night hotspot, or simply increasing the customer satisfaction rating of your restaurants, these opportunities are fairly diverse and offer up a fair reward if completed. You'll start off with a small bit of cash, and accept 'opportunities' offered up by citizens walking the streets. Build New York puts you at the helm of a major company to construct a New York empire. Sandbox mode is just that, start with the entire city unlocked and build to your hearts content. Tycoon City: New York gives players a couple of modes of play, sandbox and build New York. This brief tutorial gets the game off on the right foot, if only the same could be said for the longevity. To illustrate the point that not all buildings are "compatible" (as in you probably shouldn't build a lingerie store next to a church), Luco, our tutorial guide, makes the remark ".they hate it, they hate you, and they probably hate your mother too" in perfect New York style. There isn't a whole lot there in terms of content, but what is there is absolutely brilliant, one of the best scripted and well-designed tutorials I've ever seen. Getting started, Tycoon City: New York takes you through a brief gameplay tutorial introducing players to the basic elements of the game, building, upgrading, and a few of the menus.

Unfortunately, in the process they seem to have left out all of the challenge that made the SimCity series so enjoyable. Thankfully, UK-based developer Deep Red and Atari noticed this trend, and tried to capitalize on it, producing the "ultimate New York experience" in Tycoon City: New York. It's been a long time since we've seen a new city management title, SimCity is legendary in this genre but even then the last major release was back in 2003 (later followed by it's expansion), with no notable new releases on the horizon.
