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.

not worth your money

dear person who is making a bad mistake about buying this game i just want to say this i have had my share o simulation games and this is one of the worst one for one thing the grafics are nothing like what the box tells you and the only fun thing about it is that you can make a mall and you always go bankrupt in 2 seconds! now think about it do you really want a game like the one i just discribed?.................i thought so!

There are a lot of better games on the market than this one, but there isn't anything wrong with it really, other than that the graphics aren't up to date.

Good Game

Mall Tycoon was a great Christmas gift. I would recomend taking the Tutorial to figure the game out. Otherwise you will put the game away and forget about it as I did when I first got it. In short, a good game.

I was excited to see this game for the first time in stores.
I had to buy a video card for this game to work on my computer and once it worked it got boring. The first time I played thought it was great, but know I think it's boring and not worth your the time. A child would enjoy it better with the simple graphics and easy tools to build the mall.

Kewl Game

Hello earthlings, if u guys havnt got all the tycoon games, u r krazy. They r the best! i just got this game about a week ago, ..., who is pretty much computer-smart, and it took me about an hour to figure out the basics, building, auto wall, build stores, kewl rides and water fountains, anyway, this game is kewl, but if u wanna get a GREATER THAN EVER IMAGINED BY KIDS game, get rollercoster tycoon, it has better graphics, sound effects, and over all control over what u build, BUT, rollercoaster tycoon IS NO DOUBT harder to learn how 2 play, because you can build more, and do more, and also, rollercoaster tycoon took me a year of trying before i finally got a rollercoaster built that the people liked (not too scary, not too dull) but it was SOOOOOOOOO worth it, buy both games, PLEEEEEEEEEZ!

DON'T BUY IT!!!!!!

Horrible. Just horrible. UNlike other tycoon gmaes, this one sucks. You build a mall, and stores. But they're empty stores. Your supposed to find someone to rent it out, but nothing happens. It is very hard to naviget, and the graphics are slow. Takes forever to install, and then when playing, it takes forever to start up. Don't waste your money...get Ski Resort Tycoon instead.

Indeed a very sad day for Take 2 Interactive (game creators)

Well when i saw this game, i thought oh wow! U can build ur own mall and its from the same guy that made Roller Coaster Tycoon! ya right! The "TYCOON" disieved me and now I'm mad i bought this game. It wasnt too much money, but i shoulda saved it for this Cd i wanted! The graphics are pretty bad. Everythin is pretty bad. I opened my mall, and all these burgalurs entered and thats all the ppl i saw!! After all the stuff i said was against this game, I gave it 2 stars because it still is fun to play it from time to time.

Big Disappointment

This games states on the box that it works with XP, but don't believe it. It constantly freezes and boots you out. Fortunately if you have autosave on, you can restore. Their is no real instruction, you have to learn by Hit or Miss...You can't tell what the people are thinking, employees somehow get trapped and all you can do is fire them when that happens. The number of scenarios and challenges is limited and the goal is incomplete, and not visible to review while you are playing the game.

I was thrilled about the concept when I first started playing it, but that has worn off. It would be great if the makers of Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 created this game, then we would at least know that it would work well.
Don't waste your money on this one!
