In Industry Giant 2 like its predecessor you start from humble beginnings to industry billionaire in this simulation, you will guide a company’s development, right from its beginnings to – with any luck – an industrial giant. You control every aspect of an expanding business – building factories, developing products, paying wages, pricing in retail outlets, even operating the transport network.
Economic booms, stock market crashes, oil crises, upswings, triumphs... Now you can become the greatest power in industry! Begin in the year 1900 with little money but large ambitions and through skillful decision-making you can build up an enormous business empire. Make critical decisions which products you should manufacture, where to gather the best raw materials, where to sell them and how to effectively transport them there.
It's your choice whether you start out as a small-time fruit-growing farmer with a little orchard and retire as the owner of the biggest food empire around, or end up owning a multinational conglomerate with a vast portfolio of products.

Wanted to play this game again a few years back,but found out my CD version of the game dosen't work on modern PCs...this version however, works perfectly fine on my Win10 PC right out of the box, it supports widescreen resolution up to 1920*1080,and can even be ALT + TAB in and out without problems...although I would suggest lowering the resolution a bit to make the texts/UI bigger.
The game itself is unchanged just like how I remember it...build factorys/farms to produce products or get resources needed to make products ,send goods to warehouses and sell them in stores.The towns will grow faster if you deliver them what they need...it's a bit like OPENTTD but playing as the boss of an industrial company.
Anyway,Thanks for brining this game back
Disclaimer: I’m writing this from a perspective of an IG1 player.
- Evolutionary improvements to every aspect of the game. I’d say the UI in particular has seen the greatest leap forward and is actually pleasant to use as opposed to getting in the way
- Great attention to detail (3D models, animations, flavour text, easter eggs etc)
- More detailed maps and more of them. They’ve also added tons of mission, vehicle and product variety, although only a select few may be available in many campaign missions
- Career’s just as difficult as IG1 but less hectic since build-while-paused is now a thing
- More direct control because resources on the map have replaced independent factories in fixed locations. Farms and the whole agricultural chain are a neat addition, too
- Storage spaces are open-air warehouses with a visual representation of any given item stored within and in which quantity. They offer way more flexibility and less headache than IG1 with its need to use vehicles for even the shortest of transportation links. Here, you can “leap-frog” from provider of raw materials to factory to downtown store without a single vehicle if you’re smart about the catchment area. You can also allow or disallow the storage of certain items, as well as tweak the warehouse’s accessibility for consuming or delivering items on a per-building basis
- Vehicle pathfinding seems more robust and less buggy. Repurposing vehicles can be done with some confidence
- Relaxing soundtrack
No game’s perfect, though:
- Audio mixing is a mess. Some ambient effects are 3-4x the normal volume, as are most videos and the intro
- Completely flat terrain, no terraforming, bridges only to span bodies of water in fixed locations
- Large selection of raw materials, components and finished products can seem overwhelming
- Some odd word choices and phrases in the English translation
If you like IG1, chances are you’ll love IG2. Probably still one of the better business simulators on the market.
