Game Time! Airport Terminal Premium Game Review

Airport Terminal Premium

Last Updated: 2014

Company: Meridian Digital Entertainment Limited

# of Levels: 28 regular levels, 7 mini game levels (+12 extra unlockable levels and +3 unlockable mini game levels)

Time Spent Playing: 4 hours and 15 minutes

Story line:  Help Penny to manage the airports from check-in to boarding.

Review:
+ There are two sections to each level giving you twice as much stuff to do. In the first section (see picture 2) you start in the lobby where you can buy your ticket, eat some food, visit the restroom or the guest shop. In the second section (see picture 3) you go through a security scanner and take the train to the passport check and final gift shop area.


+ At the end of the first section you get to spin for a time clock that can be used in the second section or held onto for later.


+ There's the perfect amount of things that you need to do. It keeps you busy but it's never overwhelming.


+ If you are able to complete locations 1, 2 & 3 with a perfect score then another location will open up. If you can complete 4, 5 & 6 with perfect scores then a second extra location will open up and if you can complete 7, 8 & 9 with perfect scores then a final third location will be available to play.

- One level in every different location is a mini game level that you can play to earn extra clocks, or cash or sometimes both. The main complaint is the water dripping bucket game. It doesn't seem to matter how many times I play it, the controls don't work well enough for me to empty the buckets and put them back before the water comes. The other mini games work fine though.

Overall (Would I recommend it?):
This is one of my favorite time management games to play. There's two different sections with plenty to keep you busy but it's not crazy enough to overwhelm you. The extra clocks that you can earn will help you out in the earlier levels but the "extra" upgrades halfway through the game will fuel you all the way to the end. I love that if you get perfect scores then new locations will unlock and as much as I didn't like the controls in the bonus water bucket game, the slot machine and the falling faces bonus games were both fun.

Game Play Tips:
- Get through the first section as quickly as possible so that there is enough time to cushion the second section.
- If after the first section you have less then 2 hours until boarding time, use an extra time clock if you have one (see picture 5). Especially if you are early on in the game with few upgrades.
- The first thing you should upgrade to is double the workers in each area so that two customers can see two workers at the same time and it keeps the lines from getting to far backed up.
- About halfway through the game there is something called "extra upgrades" based on combo points that you can earn throughout the level. The best use of the extra upgrades is to chose the option to "complete mini games" which will play the mini game for you and give you more time to use elsewhere. Once you've upgraded all of the "complete mini games" you won't even need to use clocks for extra time.
