Super Mall Tycoon 2

5 Rating: 5, Useful: 32 / 37

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

A note to all of those people who go: DONT BUY! IT DOESNT WORK ON MY COMPUTER! DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY! OK, please go get a brain. If you have a good computer their shouldnt be any problems. Dont tell us not to buy it because your crappy computer can't handle it!

If it works, it is one of the best Tycoon games ever. :)

ONCE AGAIN: Dont tell us not to buy it because your crappy computer can't handle it! We got a computer of our own, kthxbye.

LISTEN TO ME!

As you can see in other reviews other people didnt have any luck getting it to work. But for me it is actually one of the few I HAVE got to work. Now i had a tough time deciding whether to give this a 3 or 4 star rating. First of it is a very fun game, and it is pretty simple laying down florring and shops. But the hard part was managing the money. I had the hardest time trying to find a happy medium trying to place how much each shop payed in rent and how much of their income I got.If you placed it to high the store would run out of business,to low you wouldnt make any money. But finally after an hour or two of experimenting I found something that was atleast making me a profit and keeping the stores around.
So I gave it four stars because it is fun and addicting. And as I said before it is easy to lay ou shps and stuff like that. So I would say buy it.

Educational tool!

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.

Rome - and apparently the mall - wasn't built in a day

Okay, first off, this game plays quite nicely on my system, which is only a few months old and rocks righteously.

I built two malls and promptly went bankrupt both times before I went online searching for a strategy guide or cheat codes. [Caveat - no cheat codes apparently exist. I think all simulations should have cheat codes for impatient people like me who just want to get down to the business of building and not futz around with legitimate strategy. I found plenty of sites that claimed to have codes, but they all worked on MT1, not MT2.]

I found a detailed strategy guide by a regular player type (who obviously has more patience than an army of preschool teachers) by the name of "soldyne" that does a pretty good job of explaining the game and how to actually make a profit and keep playing for a long time.

The biggest tip I can offer is G-O S-L-O-W. If you try to research everything all at once or hire expensive staff right off the bat or fill up your mall with all the objects too early, you won't be able to recover, even with loans.

Build the mall that soldyne suggests. Start small and expand only when you're making a profit. Expand slowly, going up rather than out. Watch your shops carefully and adjust rents and sales cut according to their performance.

For ten bucks, I've found this to be a pretty fun simulation game. It just requires a lot of patience - maybe more than $10 worth.

This Game Is Stupid

When I bought this game it looked realy cool. But I must say I was pretty disapointed. Well you start out with only a little money. Hardly anything. So you can only buy a little bit of stuff. I usally run out of money by half an hour. The customers have no faces. If you counld have a little more money to actully do something it would be a good game. :(:(:(

value:7 (good)
tilt:6 (fair)
Overall:7.2 (good)
I hear a lot of negetive ratings about this game from everywhere and its sad how it is so underated, but anyways lets get to the point.This game is another tycoon game with building and running a mall as the way to make profit.The frist thing you want to do when you get the game installed is to download the patch becuase there is a lot of glitches.The frist thing you will notice when you play mall tycoon 2 looks pretty bad besides the stuff in the stores are well animated.This game has one of the best soundtracks I heard on a game and the sound effect are not much but still good.The game map is pretty big so you can fit a great size mall in it.The game is hard but hey if it was easy it would be no fun. The game is pretty cheap now (about $5-$15) so it realy worth buying and after hearing about mall of american getting worse rattings i guess this is the one to buy (and also mall tycoon 3).

Its not that bad.....

This game isnt that bad at all, i dont know why people conplain about it so much,its a budget game what do you expect?Yes the graphics do look bad i have to agree with that altho the stores are well animated and it realy shows in the frist person veiw but the graphics in general its barely adequate .The game is realy fun becuase you have a lot of freedom out what you do like name the shop set the rent,mall tax and etc.The music isnt going to kill you it is good for a game, its not a crapy jazz and there is nothing wrong with the sound effect.
The good:a lot of freedom what you get to do,cheap,the gameplay is very customizable
The bad:the people have no face, the graphics are block and blocky,there are some annoying glitches
Overall Scores:
Gameplay:8(great)
graphics:5(medicore)
sound:7(good)
value:8(great)
tilt:7(good)
Overall:7(good),you realy just have to weigh the good and the bad,its basicaly the average game.
