Don't get too excited - it's playable, but that's it.,
By McColey "Reviewer" (Buckinghamshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shopping Centre Tycoon (PC) (Video Game)
How excited I was waiting for this game to come through my letterbox and how disappointed I was when it did. It's playable, but not like I had expected. The scenarios and challenges are fine, but don't expect that because you're usually good at sim games you'll win at this one. Maybe it was just me, but I found that as soon as I started to lay floor tiles the little louts came along and destroyed the whole place. The cleaners follow each other around like nerds cleaning the same litter at the same time and the security guards watch as criminals wander around creating havoc - now come on, I can see the ball and chain, can't they? fools!The only solution I found to the litter problem was not laying floor tiles, but this makes the centre look tacky and unfinished. I never have found a solution to the criminal problem, cameras identify they are there, but they just continue to rob my stores and put them out of business. I still like the game because the concept is great, but I would only advise buying it if you have lots of patience and like a REAL challenge. I would now like to get hold of Mall Tycoon to see it if actually is a better, more friendly version of the game.

Mall Tycoon,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shopping Centre Tycoon (PC) (Video Game)
The game is actually known as Mall Tycoon, and appears to be quite rare over this side of the Atlantic. The game is a must have for any females pc, or any male who particularly likes shopping. How many times have you sat and pondered after obtaining an outragious debt shopping, what it would be like to control your own mall. And anyone who reguarly shops on here will know that feeling, and should give into buying this game also. Build mutiple story shopping centres, with cinema's, acades, fast food, cafe's, tailors, jewellers, toy shops, cloth shops, in fact any shop you can imagine! And yes they even have a wedding shop! Start from scratch with your retail empire, or choose various scenario's to launch your mall kingdom. 3D graphics allow a more stimulating experience, and rotating camera's capture every nook-and-cranny of your mall. You can even launch marketing compaigns, including rock groups, christmas displays, car displays etc. Swap your design over the internet for better designs as well! This isn't one of the best tycoon games i've experienced, it's very basic in terms of gaming technology, but it's still quite addictive & provides hours of fun. It's like, what's the one thing your thinking about when your not shopping? SHOPPING! and with this game you can do that, but YOU can be the boss, and conduct them annoying mall cleaners and guards to move out of your way!

Rubbish,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shopping Centre Tycoon (PC) (Video Game)
As a lover of tycoon games and of shopping i thought this game would be perfect for me but I was wrong. I have only played it a couple of times because it made me get so frusrated when I was building my mall. It makes it really difficult to build anything because of the camera angle and it is hard to place items. I found the instructions quite confusing in terms of paying for more security etc. Definitly not what I was expecting when it arrived at my door.
