I agree with the below review about how unreal it is to make millions from 25,000 in one day. I personally made 383 million on my first try just because the market pulse was up all the time. However, the game is still cool, and I like the special events that happen, however unreal they be (why would a company hire two new CEOs in less than 30 mins?).

While the game gets points for being entertaining, I can't give it much more than a fair rating. Biggest problem is that the swings in the market are much too exaggerated - how else could I take $25,000 to $106,903,679 in one trading day?! The game boils down to watching the "market pulse" and riding a stock up or down accordingly.

As noted previously, the interface does leave a bit to be desired. For a couple of plays through, its interesting as you get the feel of the "market", but once you figure out the dramatic swings, it gets redundant. Your outcome is completely dependent on getting a market pulse that just keeps moving in the same direction.

Bottom line: fun for a couple of plays, but gets old real fast. (I guess if stock trading were sexy, it would translate into a better game!)

A quick and fun, if not realistic, stock trading game. While this certainly isn't an accurate simulation, it is very enjoyable to try to guess which way the market is heading and buy/sell accordingly. A bit confusing at first, but becomes second nature quickly. Would like to see a longer time-frame (instead of one day) and a more diverse selection of stocks (maybe a few categories of stocks with ten stocks in each category. Perhaps each category can be affected by the market seperately), but is a very solid first effort. Kudos!

While this is a decent adaption of the Drugwars engine, and it's fun, there are some irritating glitches that make me scratch my head. For one, the interface is confusing - to sell, you tap the left most column, but to buy, you tap the third column (with the price). I found myself taping the right most column, which shows holding, more than the third column. Also, when you try to buy the maximum you can with Cash Only, often you will buy a few shares on the margin and go negative with your cash. Finally, the market swings seem outrageous. At one point during my game, I had all shares trading over 125, with some over 400! Despite these shortcomings, it is an enjoyable quick little game.
