Summary: A BIG disappointment
Review: I saw this game in a store and thought it looked great. I enjoyed Roller Coaster Tycoon, and wanted to try a new type of simulation game. All I can say is that I really feel it was a waste of money. The malls are simple enough to build (especially if you run the tutorial once), but there just isn't that much to do. The mall never seems to make much money, and the messages at the bottom of the screen are repetative. At one point I had about 15 security guards (They actually call them Men in Black), but there were still a lot of criminals in the mall. There is no way to direct the security personel, or the janitors, so even if you see a problem you have to wait and see if it will be taken care of.
I am sure that with enough time I could figure out how to turn a profit. The trouble is that the game is so boring I don't really have any interest in playing. The graphics are cute, but the whole thing gets old very quickly! If you like a game with a variety of options, and want to have control over the scenarios, this game is NOT going to be enjoyable to you.
*Save your money and go to a real mall instead*

Summary: GREAT IDEA - HORRIBLE GAME
Review: When I first saw this game, I was VERY excited. The idea of creating my own mall was like a dream come true. Once I got it, it turned into a nightmare. The graphics are horrible. You can't do anything with the people like you can in Roller Coaster Tycoon. The options are very limited and I can think of a better way to spend [my money]. ... Save your money!!!!!

Summary: fun
Review: I like it its fun to see how the mall will take shape & if you research the right things you know what sells best etc..... Just be sure to have a good video card & lots of memory available to play it.

Summary: An awesome idea...bad creation
Review: I bought Mall Tycoon expecting a lot. I mean, you can do a lot when you create a game like this. But, I was disappointed. Sure, you can choose what KIND of things your stores sell...but do you really get to arrange the merchandise and stuff like that? Heck no. There's really not that much you CAN do when you create your mall. As someone else said, the game is mostly controlled by the computer. Also, the graphics are pretty bad. The game is done so that you have 3D view of everything, (which is cool), but "everything" is not good quality.
Basically, this game might SOUND cool, (and it could be if another company created it), but don't waste your money.

Summary: Don't waste your money!
Review: I, like others, bought this game because of the nice graphics on the cover of the box. It looked like a pretty fun game, so I picked it up. I got home to discover that not only is it not like the cover of the box, it is the most boring game I have ever played! I played it for 5 minutes straight, before taking it out of my CD-ROM, and never putting it back in since. I would NOT recommend this game to ANYONE.

Summary: Don't Do It
Review: 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.

Review: That about sums it up! It was so disappointing...there are so many better sim games out there. Don't waste your money

Summary: **WORST EVER!**
Review: This game dosen't even deserve the one star I gave it! I saw this game at the store, and bought it considering how attractive the packaging is. I can't believe I wasted my money on such a piece of junk! First of all - if you're still ignoring all these horrible reviews, go to the official site (URL) and download the DEMO before you even buy this worthless piece of junk. I was so disappointed with this game - the longest I played it was for 10 minutes. I have better things to do then watch some horribly animated people walk around my computer screen and wait 5 hours for my mall to make any money. Save your money and buy a REAL game!
