For example, I mine gold in San Diego that gets turned into Jewelry in Chicago that gets sold in New York (this really is a typical supply chain midway through the game). Everybody in your company turns into Dilbert's pointy-hared boss whenever something goes wrong. Once your corporation gets big, that's when the nightmare begins.
There are a number of products to build and sell, and specialized buildings (such as a hardware store or supermarket) give your stores a bit of character and individuality. To its credit, for about 2/3 of the way through the game Capitalism 2 is quite enjoyable. System Requirements: MBA in accounting or betterīut who cares about a real estate empire anyways? Everybody knows the meat and potatoes of the Capitalism series has always been industry and retail. Therefore, the game forces you must go the traditional route of producing and selling goods to turn any kind of profit. Instead, you must wait for them to go on sale to buy them, and the computer only sells them when they are losing money hand over fist. Although media stations can provide a decent profit, you can't build them. None of the apartments or offices provides any return on your investment, and quickly become a drag on your company.

You can now build apartment complexes, office buildings, and own media stations like television and radio.

However, I should not be punished for my success by having to micromanage every tiny little aspect of my fortune 500 company or watching it all promptly go to hell. I realize creating a fun business sim can be hard, particularly since the words fun and business rarely go together. Capitalism 2 offers all the fun of running a mammoth company without the executive washroom. At first glance, Capitalism 2 looks like the bastard child of Sim City 2000 and Microsoft Excel.
