3.0 out of 5 stars Fun game, if you can get it to play..., September 30, 2001

I am a big fan of simulation games, so I was excited to get this game. Unfortunately, I ran into (many) problems before I could even play it.

* It had problems installing itself on my computer

* I emailed tech support with a full description of my problem (I am very computer literate, so I had a very detailed list of specific problems), but with delays in replies from support and failure to completely read my messages, it took over 4 months to get a real solution to my problem.

* To this day, it will only install on one computer I've ever tried it on.

Well, we ended up getting a *brand new* computer, and one of the first things I did was try to install it. Success! This was a really fun game. It took weeks for me to figure it all out (it doesn't come with any instructions to speak of, so be prepared to "sink or swim"), but when I had it going, I was hooked. Then... I ran into another problem. Once I got to a point in the game where I was having some moderate success, it would crash, and I'd have to start over. It wouldn't let me even reload a previously saved version - it would always crash at exactly the same point in the game.

I emailed support again, but I guess they were tired of hearing from me, because I haven't had a reply in over 9 months.

Anyway, Fast Food Tycoon isn't very expensive, and if you can get it to run, it's a lot of fun. Just don't expect any help from Activision Value if you need it - they apparently are too swamped with pleas for help to be able to answer any more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Game But Learning the Game Can Be Difficult, July 31, 2002

I got this game used through Amazon for a very good price. I own Fast Food Tycoon 1 and really enjoyed playing it so I assume this one would be even better and it was. Just started playing.
Pros: I love the cartoonist graphics
Very challenging you can't just win the scenerios just like that
More things to do in this one then the first Fast Food Tycoon.
Biggest Con: Still no real tutorial to go with the game. The game tutorial [is bad]. You have to figure out how to play the majority of the game on your own.

I would have given the game 5 if it wasn't for that

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Bargain Bin Game, April 13, 2002

... These are kind of like the games you buy and don't expect too much, but you can get a lot for the money.

First of all, a minus is the lack of instructions. No booklet inside, you have to look in the glossary in the game, which can be annoying when you need to know what the customer is saying or what is happening quickly. Eventually you realize what most buttons do, but I still don't use all of the options to my advantage.

Since you're supposed to build your pizza empire, there are many ways to attract customers. Try building different levels of luxury for different branches, or even challenge your rival restaurants to a best pizza contest. If you're successful, you still have to hire more employees to keep up with the flow of visitors.

A fun part of the game is the pizza making option, you design your own pizza, sometimes out of the weirdest ingredients-snake, maggots, ants, even a whole can of tuna. You have to adjust your ingredient choices to satisfy different customers-student, gothic, tourist, etc.

And finally, there are different cities to choose from, and the habitants speak their native language. Sometimes it can be a touch confusing, but it can be a nice addition.

If you enjoy simulation games, like I do, pick this game up, it's a well done bargain game.
