5.0 out of 5 stars Buy This Game, December 30, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Mall Tycoon 3 (CD-ROM)

This game is 100% cool! From making stores to getting money, this game is the one. I have played this game, and it's much more than the other tycoons. People come into your mall, buy stuff, and maybe, act up a bit. So be sure to hire police. This game is so cool, and also for such a good price. Think You so much for reading this.

This review is from: Mall Tycoon 3 (CD-ROM)

The original Mall Tycoon was bad but it definately wasnt as bad as ER(the PC game). Spinning 2 sequels you would think like 18 Wheels of Steel, the game would be more polished, better graphics and not as frustrating. Everytime I play whether a sandbox mode or a scenario, I always seem to run out of money and stores closes due to not making enough money. I would like freedom to build any size store and highlight a box that my store can go to. It would be nice to make anchor stores (the large department stores that take more than 2-3 floors). The department stores in MT3 is a huge box/rectangle with more than one type of good being sold. Very disapointing. Also when you want to make a second floor, its very frustrating when you try to go one way, and all of a sudden you whole 2nd floor is made following the track of the 1st floor. Some malls have intricate 2nd floors highlighted with a box here and a rectangle there with a elaborate food court along with a Multiplex. It's time to update the graphics, take away the cartoonish style and create a tycoon game that is unique, fun to play, and allows freedom. It gets boring when you place billboards, benches, vending machines and all of them blink because they need repairs. The repairmen and the janitors need better pathfinding. Building parking lots and garages would be a nice feature especially when you see cars pull into parking spots and the multi-level garage. The addition of security cameras outside and inside would add good value as well as a security office. Nowadays malls have resturants and roads (with or without traffic lights) that seperate the parking fields.

All in all, I like this game but it doesnt have enough to keep me occupied. It's already deleted from my system and I hope #4 comes out and is impressive. Basically your in charge of building a mall with different types of flooring, walls, stores, and more. This game is so much better than Mall of America.

I play alot of these tycoon games, this game was the lowest quality. It was just ok, not very fun. Stick with zoo tycoon or roller coaster tycoon better than this by far. It just lacked alot of the normal options that make these games entertaining. Just ok.
