Super Mall Tycoon 2

I have just bought Mall Tycoon 2 and its one of the best tycoon games I have ever played and I have most of them. I also have the previous version, Mall Tycoon 1 and it was ok but no where near as much fun as this one. The graphics, now 3D people, the music, the gameplay, everything has been improved from the previous game. I see its a new developer who has done this one and it shows. I enjoyed trying to build our local mall and I can get very close to it. Its amazing, if they only had the stores with their right names, you would think you were actually there. The first person mode is really cool, you can walk right around the mall and even go into the stores.
If you want a good tycoon game, I recommend this one HIGHLY

Cant even play this game. A total waste.

What a waste of 30+ dollars. I had purchased the original, and even though had so many problems operating it. Due to numerous bugs, contained in the game. Figured, with this new title. They would have put out a better product. Only to find out I was sadly mistaken. This company sells you a non useable game. I put the game in, it crashes back down to the desktop. I did all the things the the tech support website instructed. to run it, still crashes. They have no live tech support, just an email address, and a website. Where, hundreds of people have posted complaints about the same issue, that I have. You would think the company would get back to thier customers about this issue, it has been over 2 months, and have not gotten an email, or a reply, to the website, no patch nothing. The company, and the game is a rip off. Another poster obviously got thier game to work, who posted such a great review for this game. But, I am here to attest. That this game is a waste. For the sake of those thinking about purchasing this game. Take a look at thier tech support website@ globalstarsoftware.com read about all the complaints others are having about this game. Before u go and waste your money. Just trying to help a fellow gamer out.

Fun, now that I can finally get it to run

I couldn't even get this game to run until I applied the latest patch, but now it's running fine.

Not in the same league as Roller Coaster Tycoon, of course, but still a fun little sim.

Don't waste your time

At first I was all excited about buying Mall Tycoon 2. I thought it would be really neat, but I can't even get the game to run, it just goes back to the desktop everytime. This is my first Tycoon game I have ever bought now I am afraid to buy any more of them.

store blackout

before even CONtemplating purchasing this game. I suggest you check out their forum site. (which Globalstar apparently doesn't too much) Even tho, there has been a patched released. Many people are still having problems getting the game to run. as in, ad, ad, BLACKOUT, boot to desktop. Even tho, they are running a variety of video cards that 'technically' should work! (updated drivers, tried all sorts of setting, etc)

I am one of the 'lucky' few to get this game to run. (pretty much 32 bit 800 x 600 only is what the general view is) problems with any other setting.

and... it's an 'ok' game.. but once the 'novelty' wears off.. it will probably be another coffee pretty coffee coaster.

This is a cool game but its hard to keep track of money because you usually end up spending it all.

Better than the original, but still far from good.

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.

LISTEN TO ME!

This is a great game!!! All the other reveiwers say this game stinks,..... but it deffinetly doesn't! Those other reveiwers have balckouts on their games.... You know why? Because they have awful computers! So buy this game and you'll thank me. Also write your own review if you like this game to show those other people wrong!!!!!!!

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?

This software is full of glitches. It requires a tech background to get started , after downloading several patches from the website. It frequently 'crashes' for no apparent reason. The bugs on this have not been resolved and the tech support dept is very non-responsive--much like their software. I wouldn't load this software even if it were FREE! Zoo or roller coaster tycoon is far superior.
