The last time I played this was in 2014. Then I had serious family issues and had to stop playing all games. Now I am retires and have time to go back over several games I played or started to play back then. So far it looks pretty straight forwar. I only played the training section so far. As soon as I get to the rest I will put my two sense in here. Bye for now. Catch you on the rebound soon.
the devs seem to love making the same exact game over and over and charging more for the exact same thing anyways abandonware
