So, what can you do in Capitalism II? Pretty much everything you'd expect to be able to do - as long as it's ethical, that is. The tutorial is a godsend, as Capitalism II is a pretty complicated game, simulating the mechanics of running a business - if you're one of those people who expect to be able to play any game without once reading the manual, you're in for a big shock. Finally, the game offers a multiplayer mode for up to seven people. Then if you've exhausted the campaigns, you can use the game's custom mode to start completely from scratch with as many competitors of your choosing and see how far you can get without going bust or power-mad. If you've played the original Capitalism, you can head into the Capitalist's Campaign consisting of scenarios that set you up with a medium-sized business. So you don't get thrown in at the deep end, Capitalism II gives you four ways to play: If you're new to the game, you can play the Entrepeneur's Campaign, which, as well as giving you a few lower-end scenarios to play through, also walks you through a tutorial on how to play the game. Capitalism II, as the game is simply called, puts you in charge of managing and building up your own business, crushing the opposition as you go. Money money moneyĬapitalism is also the subject of a new sim game from Ubi Soft, one that somewhat surprisingly does not bear the 'Sim' or 'Tycoon' moniker. And what would I do without my Collector's Edition DVD of John Carpenter's The Thing? It just doesn't bear thinking about. Plus there are the luxuries - sure, Brand X chocolate may be made from the blood of the workers, but it tastes so good. But if it wasn't for capitalism, we wouldn't even have half of the technological and medical developments we have today. We have unfortunately reached the point where money is valued over people and that's a bad thing.

But in actual fact, capitalism is a double-edged sword. At least that's the view some people apparently hold, who would happily abolish capitalism in an instant. Ah, capitalism - the overriding principle that if you have enough money, you can buy anything.
