Mall Tycoon 2

Summary: Stupid
Review: I'm sure the game is good if you can ever actually get it to run! I've tried everything and not one thing helped. And I got it for my b-day so I don't know what to do with it, cause its basically useless. I really don't recommend unless you know you have EVERY thing on ur computer that you need. Although I thought I had the stuff, guess not.

Summary: NOT the greatest game
Review: Installing mall tycoon 2 wasn't the problem but getting the game to work for more then 15 min at a time was the challenge. It would send me back to the desktop after the first 15-20 min. into it. I finally found a patch on the internet witch solved the problem, but after I finally got the game to work it wasnt as fun as I thought it would be. Its hard to understand how to play and when you do get the hang of it its imposible to keep your mall from going bankrupt (even with loans). Its just not worth the money or time to figure it out! I wish I would of read the reviews before I bought it. I strongly recomend not wasting your time with it.

Summary: Won't run... Bad tech. support...
Review: My Gateway system meets all the requirements for this game... It won't work. The game just exits after showing the 'Globalstar' opening screen. I looked all over on thier site; no technical support at all. I tried emailing them; no response. Maybe it'd be fun if it actaully worked, but, is it worth the risk?

Summary: An Absolute 'Do NOT Buy!'
Review: Okay, I for one fact, enjoys all the tycoon games (rollercoaster tycoon, Zoo tycoon, and so on...) I thought this game would be fun because I am a shopoholic and I thought to myself - "wouldn't just be great if I can make my own shopping mall?"
and so I bought this game.

Much to my dismay however, this game totally sucks! It's very hard to get it to work and I installed this game nearly 10 times and it's still not working. My computer is definitely compatible but I don't know what's wrong. I tried to clean out other files on my disk but it still wouldn't work.

Well, later I went on their website (Mall tycoon 2's website) and downloaded the demo which I thought might tell me how this thing would work. Unfortunately again, after I installed it on my computer it still wouldn't work! It just sits there on the screen and when I tried to open it, nothing happens.

I told my dad about the problem (my dad's computer engineer) and he can't get the game working either! Well, then I contacted Globalstar and they haven't replied me for months!

I just recently got it working thanks to one of my friends in school but again to my dismay, the game is absolutely horrible!

Why it's bad:
- The graphics are horrible
- The people in the game have no faces
- There's no tutorial so you have to figure it out yourself
- The scenarios are not at all interesting
- You run out of money almost instaneously
- It's really hard to zoom in

I only gave it 2 stars because you can actually do something in the game (building a mall) that is, if you can get it working.

I did not really enjoy playing this game as much as I did playing other Tycoon and Sim games.

3 words: Do Not Buy!

Summary: Dont waste your money-or time!
Review: Okay, so put aside all of the "not working" stuff and you have a pretty crummy game. Right after you run out of money, the games over! Its hard to zoom in and when you do its scary! The people have no faces. The graphics are awful, so I could go on forever, but really , just don't buy it!

Summary: Better than the original, but still far from good.
Review: People who have read the reviews for the original Mall Tycoon may have seen the "A low blow to the Tycoon games" review. I wrote that review, and I can say the same thing for the sequel. One thing that most people will quickly notice is the improved graphics and extra shop types, but those are the only things that make this better than the original. In the original, people were unhappy with only three types of employees, but the extra employees in Mall Tycoon 2 either are useless or do the same thing as another employee you can hire. The tutoral is now gone. There are also no more aliens (which may actually be a good thing). You can see what your customers see with a new first-person mode, but it does not help you get a better idea of how your mall is doing. Resarch is no more rewarding than researching in the original. It is also much harder to keep track of your money than in the original. Overall, Mall Tycoon 2 is just like the original with only minor improvements.

Summary: This Game Is Stupid
Review: The game seems to run fine on my Nvidia 5200 card. The online instructions are not very detailed, yet it was easy to get going. I would recommend that players "map" out the mall on paper to get all the "modules" to fit efficently. The kids seem to enjoy the graphics and it is a good educational tool for teaching basic supply/demand and customer relations ideas.
