2.0 out of 5 stars Nothing like the quality Tycoon or Sim Game; it [is bad]!, February 11, 2002

By A Customer

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

This game appears to have mixed reviews, but all things considered this game [stinks]!

I was excited when I first heard about this game. Now I own it, and I'm severly disappointed. It's certainly a great concept in the world of simulation games, (the creation of my own shopping mall) but there is so much lacking. The graphics and sound/music are very poor in quality. The game interface is tough to get used to and the action of the game is extremely boring and controlled mostly by the AI, which takes away so much fun from the game.

The game is lacking in how much detail the user can control, (as said before) most of it is controlled by the AI.

This game ranks right down there with Airport Tycoon, Snow Resort Tycoon and Skatepark Tycoon... If you want good quality sim and tycoon games, check out: Roller Coaster Tycoon, The Sims, Sim Golf,the original Theme Park, Theme Hospital etc. You are bound to enjoy anything made by Maxis, Interplay, Bullfrog, Electronic Arts, and Microsoft. These games allow you to have control over the most minute detail, not just broad things with no depth; ie. what type of store you put in.

The characters walk around in the stores without bags, and you don't even see them pick up things to buy.

Maybe if Mall Tycoon was [low in price] it might be worth buying... Play the demo first, or get it from a friend who's already wasted their money.

PC GAME REVIEW:

Basically, the game involves building and running a shopping mall.

I got the game, because the pictures of the game on the box gave the impression that it would be a fun game to play. Also, I spend a lot of time at the mall, so I thought this game would be really fun, because it had two of the things I really like--the mall, and video games.

Unlike most simulation (SIM) games, which is fun to play for hours then gets boring after a while, this game is boring from the start! The animations are awful, and it slows down my computer quite frequently!

I wouldn't suggest this game to anybody. If you're looking for a great SIM game, I suggest getting "The Sims" and its expansion packs.

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

If you are a fan of some of the better simulation games, like the SimCity series, or even Tropico, etc., don't buy this game. The graphics are substandard, the gameplay is boring and unimaginative, and the interface is less than intuitive. This game is a blatant attempt to cash in on the reputation of some of the more succesful and better-made tycoon games.
