2.0 out of 5 stars It Worked For Me, But..., August 18, 2007

My copy of this game worked OK after some initial bugginess, so I do not share the same concerns expressed by the earlier review.

I guess my concern is that even the fully-functional version is not highly playable. Once you run through the play scenarios, which honestly does not take all that long, you end up in "sandbox" mode, which is highly repetitive and does not contain many variations.

On the plus side, the animations and graphics are fun, and the diseases and equipment are witty, too.

Keep your money in your pocket - at least until the developers come up with something much more variegated and playable than this is.

don't be fooled like everyone else was when this game came out, first the company has stated that they will not provide a patch to fix the many problems that this software has, and it does have a lot, second the game is not as advertised there are only 4 hospitals and the only difference between them is the color, you can hire about 60 doctors and nurses but it does you no good when you only have 9 patience to treat at a time, not all of the diseases are available (but the staff to treat them are) the story mode is pointless, you can start a game set everything up and then leave and come back 2 hours later and nothing really has happen no staff complaining about anything no patience walking out, you can't make any staff do anything except the janitors you can tell them to clean up, but if there are 9 people waiting to see a dr, and your 60 doctors feel that they need to talk to the 30 nurses that you have you can't force them to see the patients and that happens a lot, after about the four day all the staff kinda stop working
don't just take my word for it go to the codemasters website and see how mad other people are for getting this game and all of the problems it has

i loved this game! a lot of people complain about glitches but i haven't encountered any at all. i love the new twist on tycoon games, this one is seriously tricky near the end! if i were someone looking for a good, fun game to play but one that you don't have to play all the time to be good at, i'd buy this one (like i did!).
