Gameplay
Gameplay can be accomplished through two different modes. In «Build New York» the player is given specific tasks and must build New York district by district, starting with Greenwich Village. The player must complete certain tasks and compete with business rivals in order to unlock other districts for development. In «Sandbox» mode players have full control over the entire island and are able to control the amount of competition, their rate of building, and starting amount of cash.
Regardless of which mode the game is played in, the game starts with an empty district which must be developed. Players choose from different types of buildings, including residential, commercial, and recreational. To add to the realism, several brand names (including Staplesand Loews Theatres) can be built. The player must attract customers to raise funds by upgrading their buildings. This can include flowers, extra seating, signs, air conditioners, or water towers. Landmarks can be constructed by earning landmark bonds. Unlike in some othercity-building games, the player has no control over the positioning of streets. The focus on individual businesses and their needs reflects that of Deep Red Games' earlier business empire game, Monopoly Tycoon. Tycoon City New York Game free Download Full Version.
