I highly recommend it. Gamplay is simple. I think just about anyone with half a brain could eventually build a 5-star resort. There are some modes with pre-established goals, but I have yet to attemp them. The main game interface is somewhat odd and different structures are located in different menues, so that came become annoying, but its just that.
Graphics are wonderful.
No complaints here, just that they are so wonderful it may cause some slowdown on your computer. The most fun is to catch a skiier just as they walk through the gate and start the skiier cam to follow them throughout the whole resort. Sound is not so good. To be honest, there really isn't much. Occasionally you will hear arcade sounds as you walk past the arcade, etc.
