Very addictive, low replay value

When I first bought this game, I was so addicted I laid on the couch and played it non stop for 4 hours. Like many other Kairosoft games, the constant progression and expansion of your empire makes it so you can never put the game down. However, by about year 15, nothing new happened and I felt like I was doing the same thing over and over. By year 20, I was ready to quit (the game ends year 21 thankfully).

This game is one of Kairosofts most polished and most addictive. However, due to lack of variety in ways you can play the game, I can only ever see it being enjoyable one playthrough.
