The premise of Tycoon City: New York is a very interesting one, sure it has been done before but I believe this is the first time the Tycoon series has ever gone to such a scale. Rome wasn't built in day, but pick up Tycoon City: New York and you will find the nice people of the Big Apple had a much easier job of raising their fair city from the ground. Budding virtual tycoons can seek fame by running a hot night club or a chic restaurant, or they can work on high-profile projects such as the Macy's Parade, the Statue of Liberty, or even the mighty skyscrapers that define the famous New York City skyline. Well stocked with famous Big Apple landmarks and events, the game focuses on the spirit and history of New York City itself. While many "tycoon" games put players in charge of a single business or industry, this one has them to taking over an entire city - and one of the biggest, busiest cities in the world, at that.
