It's easy to make in in Tycoon City: New York, you just need to click around and see whats needed. Which is where I guess it differs from the real New York. There isn't really much of a strategy element because the game works with you, rather than against you. This is essentially a simple game that looks good. There are some nice audio touches too, but nothing to get particularly orgasmic over.
