If you have ever played a micromanagement game before, then you’ve already got a solid handle on how the app works. Essentially, the app has you starting with nothing but a few buildings and enough space to build a few runways. From there, you’ll be running flights, collecting passengers, and managing crude oil resources to get enough planes in the air to turn a profit. These profits you then take to build more runways, buy bigger planes, train pilots, construct control towers, build suburbs for passengers, add more content . . . and on and on and on.
Pocket Gamer: Have you heard? Heathrow's at risk of being overtaken as Europe's main transport hub. It's all to do with our cramped old country not leaving enough room to build additional runways, while our German and Dutch cousins plan properly and expand smartly.
Not interested in the slightest? Then you may not feel that Airport City HD is for you, as it's all about the logistics of putting a working airport together.
Chris Buffa (Modojo): Game Insight's Airport City HD is unique because it's both an airport and city builder in one; the fact that it's free-to-play boosts the appeal even further. This means you need to constantly micromanage both facets of the game, as each side is dependent upon the other.
Yes, it's a lot to take in, but with this Airport City cheats and tips guide, you'll have no trouble sending passengers to exotic destinations while amassing a ton of gold coins along the way.
Chris Buffa (Modojo): Considering how huge Airport City is/was on Android, with over 230,000 five-star reviews, we're surprised it took Game Insight several months to bring its freemium title to the App Store, especially with Nimblebit's superb effort, Pocket Planes, running amok. That said, now iPad users can see what all the fuss is about, as they build and then customize their own airports while sending passengers on trips to high-profile destinations like Shanghai, the Canary Islands and Turkish Coast. Fun? Sure, but as with most things free these days, there's a price.
