Publisher's Description
From Niels Bauer Games:
Anyone should be able to achieve success with skill and hard work - The American Dream. In "TV Manager 2 - an addictive TV simulation game - you can do right that by taking over a small TV station and making it become the biggest TV network in the country. To do this you have to buy movie licenses, acquire advertising contracts, manage your news spots and create the best TV program of all times. In TV Manager 2 there are up to three other computer-controlled competitors trying to do the same, so you will have to beat the competition. TV Manager 2 is the sequel to the game TV Manager released in 2002, which was published by eGames and sold in stores all over the USA from Walmart to BestBuy under the title "TV Tycoon". The game has been developed by Niels Bauer Games, an independent game developer founded 1998 with a record of more than eight games.

"Simple, Additive, but lacks Finish"
Version: TV Manager 2 1.5
Pros
Unique, fun, simple to play, addictive
Cons
Alot of bugs, black and white, music is horrid, alot of bugs
Summary
I tried the demo and thought I would like the full game. I bought the full game and it is great playing for a few hours and then coming back a week or so later and picking up where I left off. Alot of patches were needed to fix the vast amounts of bugs and there are still bugs to this date.
