From the Manufacturer

Good pizza chefs and clever restaurant managers are on their way to conquering the culinary world. The best pizza recipes, the choice of location, staff and interior design of your restaurants will help determine your franchises' success or failure. You will soon have the pulsating cities of the world at your feet! But keep an eye out for the bad guys because they want a piece of the pie too!

Bad gangsters are raking it in with shady dealings and blackmail. Anything goes in the underworld. A restaurant can be the perfect place for laundering money. Authorities can be convinced to turn a blind eye for the right amount of money.

Do you have what it takes to be the Fast Food Tycoon of the world?

5.0 out of 5 stars Pizza Tycoon is back, January 29, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Fast Food Tycoon (CD-ROM)

This game is a lot of fun. People who are familiar with and liked the old game Pizza Tycoon will just love this one. The gameplay is very familiar, but the graphics has improved a lot. It's called Fast Food Tycoon, but really should have been called Pizza Tycoon 2.

If you are looking for an excellent game that lets you try things you'd probably never would in real life, Fast Food Tycoon is a game for you. In Fast Food Tycoon you are in charge. Design your restaurant, then hire staff, choose and create your pizzas, manage your restaurant, and probably the funnest part, defend your restaurant from the mob.

When you consider that this game goes for around $19.99, it's a very good deal if you like economic simulations. If you, like me, loved the game Pizza Tycoon, it's just a bargain and a must have.

1.0 out of 5 stars Grat Idea....Terrible Execution, November 7, 2000

This review is from: Fast Food Tycoon (CD-ROM)

As a fan of sim games like SimCity and Free Enterprise (to name but a few), I purchased this one thinking that the concept of operating a fast food chain had great possibilities....unfortunately, Activision has blown this one. First, if you want instructions, you are out of luck. Next, the tutorials are meager to say the least. Throughout the game, the icons that drive everything you do are hard to decipher without using the help feature. To really start playing this game and to know what you are doing would take hours since the only way to learn it is through a great deal of trial and error (much more than any other games of this ilk).

In a nutshell, this game disappoints.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Idea - poor execution, April 4, 2001

This review is from: Fast Food Tycoon (CD-ROM)

The idea of creating and managing your own fast food chain, and then watching it function from a bird's eye view is a great one. Unfortunately, Activision failed at recreating this idea to your PC with Fast Food Tycoon. The main reason the game is a failure is because of it's confusing gameplay. It helps to use the tutorial but even after that you'll find yourself wondering, "How did I get to that certain screen that let me do that certain function." Watching your pizza(only type of food)place function is pretty cheasy also. There are very few animations and there's not many ways to edit the looks of the place either. If your looking for a solid simulaion game that will keep you entertained for hours your better off with Theme Hospital, Roller Coaster Tycoon, or one of the sim-cities. Do your cholesterol a favor and pass this Fast Food.
