I'm loving this game so far, bare in mind it is early access and there are a few minor bugs and glitches (although I haven't encountered any myself up to now). I love the slow pace of how things are building up (you can speed it up quite a lot if you prefer to play that way) and it's tricky to get your factory growing in the first place without going bankrupt, a nice slow build up and not laying out too much cash in the first place seems to work well. The game has only been out a couple of weeks and we already had two updates/fixes, if the devs carry on with that attitude this will be a really good game. It's already great for killing a few hours and there's plenty to do while your business slowly (hopefully) grows.

Pure and simple, fun game. I love it!

I imagine Nerds love this game but I find it boring and extremely poor in development.

As many people before me have said, " I don't really do reviews", but with this game I had too.
This game is awesome, still early access so still has a few faults and the odd bug here and there, however, the dev team does work really hard towards getting things fixed up and there is still plenty more content to be added. The game can be as complex or as simple as you want it to be, there are plenty of ways to set up game play the way you want it to be, if you set at it's most difficult it really can be a challenge for you, if you set it to easy it's quite simple to play but still very enjoyable but you don't have to manage just about everything that goes on in game life as you would in difficult. I've always liked these kind of games but I was a little sceptical of this one, purely based off it's title, I talked myself into buying it anyway and I'm pleased that I did. I'm not going into all the plus and minus points because I'm not really a 'sit here and type all night' kind of person, plenty of other people have already covered those things anyway. All I say is, if you're thinking 'maybe I should try this one' (like I was), I say, stop thinking and try it, it truly is a great game and it's just getting better and better.

I've tried to like this game and I've tried to learn this game, neither have paid off. Unless you can work out how to cheat or work out which one of the many mods available happens to do any good Motorsport Manager soon becomes a boring, predictable drudge from one season to next. Some people claim great success with this game but unless they found the mod that works or did indeed work out how to cheat I don't see how it's possible. Even with the latest updates your car and your drivers will still remain rubbish. the driver input you get whilst 'developing', practicing, qualifying or racing is a total nonsence and will make no difference to how bad your car is or how slow it goes. Pit stops are a big joke, the devs claim to have 'fixed' them with the last update but I see no difference here either and no matter how good your pit crew are they still make more mistakes than any other team in the game (costing you even more time in the race) and your pit stop time is always around 20 to 30sec, the AI teams on the other hand, even the rubbish ones, will be in and out of the pits before you've even hardly notice them stop. You can spend all your money upgrading your factory, design centre, test track.....anything you like but it will still make no difference to how bad your car and drivers are. You don't get enough money at any point in this game to make your car good enough to compete, anything your team does learn will be totally forgotten in the new season and you'll have to start all over again. There are so many bad things going on with this game that I couldn't possibly list them all, there are a few good things too but not so many. The idea of the game is great, it just doesnt work on an even playing field and you're always in an endless chase to achieve nothing. I've played for many hours now and nothing has really changed with any update, it will very soon become yet another greyed out game in my library.

I was foolish enough to get dragged along with all the hype, hysteria and the massive amount of great reviews this game is getting dragged along with, I tell you know, save your money! This game is never in a million years anywhere near as good as people are making it out to be. The graphics are terrible and it's hardly noticable why people are claiming it's so much better than Sim City or Cities XL, it plays exactly the same as far as I can see, in fact I'd say it looks bloody awful compared to Sim City. Paradox would have been better off fixing the issues we have in Cities in Motion ll in my opinion because that game would be amazing if they'd ever got it to work right...... My opinion = Cities:Skylines is nowhere near being as good as people are trying to make it sound and for me is a total waste of £22!

I've been sitting here for 37 minutes hitting 'enter' , 'spacebar', 'end', 'page up and down' and God knows what else and absolutley nothing is happening. So amongst the euforia of people getting a new game, I'm affriad I can not agree with them, this game looks quite nice and the idea is great but this control system is totally pants and you even struggle to do a tutorial under instruction from a voice that you can hardly hear because you can't turn down the music. OK, it's early access right enough but it needs to book it's ideas up big time before I'd recommend anyone even looking at it.
(Review subject to change if things get fixed ).

Like many people here I've tried pretty much every MSF since '95, FSX still remains the best all round flight sim in my opinion, even after all these years. It never was an easy game to run and had many performance issues on pretty much any size PC, this Steam version is without doubt the best version of FSX I have had and finally I can get it to run at a very reasonable rate with a good balance of apperance and performance.
I still own a disc copy of this but decided to take a chance on buying from Steam in the hope that what I read was true and that finally, after all these years someone had made it work properly, all I can say is it works now better than it ever did and an awful lot of the Add On content will still also run in it, at this price it's a great buy.

I love this game!
When it was first released it had a fair few bugs and crashes, most, if not all of those problems have been sorted out and those that haven't are being worked on by the dev team. The game gets pretty good support from that dev team with updates and patches, unlike some games I could mention we do get good support for this game and a promise of even more improvments.
There is also an excellent modding community if you like that sort of thing.
The game itself is a little bit like Cities in Motion meets Railroad Tycoon and for me this works very, very well.
Not everyone seems to like it but as I said at the start 'I love this game' and would most definitely recommend it.

Only played for an hour so far but at this price how could you not like it?
Graphics are OK for this type of game although it would be nice if you could get up even closer during the action. It's got a pretty basic control system and is easy to learn, it could become pretty adictive if you like these kind of games. I've not tried the multi-player yet but will be doing soon.
