I have spent many happy nights playing this game. It doesn't get old and new situations are always entertaining you. But, as the reviews for this game have proved, not ALL people enjoy this game.
It is one of those games that people either love or hate.
But if you read the reviews customers have given this game, you can see most bad reviews were based upon the game not working on their computer
My number one advice to you? CHECK OUT THE COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS BEFORE PURCHASING. This game has some odd requirements that your computer may or may not have.

However, if this game does work on your computer, you probably won't be disappointed--I sure wasn't.
It is great fun building the hotel with the furniture and building designs and watching your costumers. Improving your hotel never gets boring.
SO now, I am going to chart it out very simply for you-

**WHY YOU SHOULD BUY THIS GAME**

*Graphics are fairly good
*It never gets boring and is always fun to build the hotel with the various options it has and furniture it offers.
*Watching the people interact in the hotel environment is fascinating.
*There are several levels that give you a goal to complete.

**WHY YOU SHOULDN'T BUY THIS GAME**

*It doesn't work on everyone's computer, but if you are smart enough to check out the system requirements, chances are, it will work on your computer.

*You are not into simulation games...If you like the sims, you'll probably like this game as well. It is almost like "THE SIMS" except you are fulfilling goals, building a hotel, and magaging it..

To conclude, if it works on your computer and you like simulation games, BUY THIS GAME. You won't be disappointed!

Great Tycoon Game!

This game is awesome, you can build your own hotels of any sort (B&B, Resort, Urban, Suburban, etc.) to your special needs. You can make any type of hotel ammenity you can think of from pools, to computer rooms. The best part is you can spy on your guests, find out their needs and compliaints, and fulfill them to your own desire. This is definitely like the Sims in many ways, but different too. You will not get bored with this game, it constantly keeps you occupied with new challenges. A recommended game to all consumers, young and old.

the best game ever

When I first got this game I couldn't wait to play it. It is a really fun game to play if you like hotels. It is very realistic and the graphics are great. You get to watch your guests and see what they do in your hotel. There are also places you could build like swimming pools, restaurants, bars, meeting rooms, etc. One thing that you can't do that got me mad is that you can't hire maids. Also, when you want to build a hotel in a certain city, it only offers you one at a time. It is still a great game and I suggest that you buy it if you like these kind of games.

Give it a chance!!

I don't know why people are complaining about 'Hotel Giant' in the previous reviews. I think the graphics are a step up compared to most strategy games. They are similar to the Sims, only you can zoom in and rotate freely! And can you 'walk around' in the Sims...?
People have complained about it being too difficult to make money - I disagree - but surely the whole point in a management game isn't to rake in money easily- it's supposed to have a challenging element.

CAUTION IF YOU ARE RUNNING WINDOWS ME

Watch out. Do not install the DirectX8.1 that comes with the game. It crashed my system BAD. I had lock-up and could not get to my Desktop. Other than that, after re-building my system - I found the game to be great. Almost worth the system crash.

GOOD SIM GAME IF YOU LIKE DESIGNING & MANAGING

In this game you design the interior of your hotel and run it. My sister had origionally purchased this game, but was diasappointed when she saw that you couldn't design the outside of your hotel, so I played it, and liked it. This game is not GREAT, though, like Blitzkrieg (awesome game). It is kind of akward, because the items you can place in your hotel are all different sizes, and the things you really need to put in your rooms, like baggage tables etc., are very small. This makes your hotel look weird, almost too big. The items also don't match sometimes, but you get over it. This game can be very time consuming but enjoyable. The graphics, in my opinion, are better than the Sims, and the objects are very realistic. I would only buy this game if you want to spend a lot of time designing your hotel, and not that much running it. Overall, 4 stars. Or, out of ten, 7.4
Hope this review helped!

A good simulation game...

I bought this game because the box caught my eye -and I don't regret it. I haven't had any of the technical problems that some people have complained about and the game provides a lot of amusement and challenge. Building a hotel, making sure it has all the amenities and trying to keep your guests happy (as well as trying to lure in the unsuspecting passer-by) It's never the same twice. It's different from the Sims in that you don't control what people are doing. My only complaint, is that the furniture selection is extremely limited and there are no complete furniture sets (so sometimes your rooms just don't look quite right...) Other than that, the game is a lot of fun.
