It is soooooooooooooooooooooo horrible. You think it is so good at first but then it just stops working. It is pretty dumb too because the game no matter what you lose. That's no good. Picture this I'm playing what a fun time then suddenly the darn thing stops working. Please save yourself don' t get this game!!!!!!!

Awsomely Amzing

I bought this game at Target for 10 bucks and I don't regret it.
First off the game had great graphics and had great scenary. But the game also had its owns but they were exceptiblr. You start with mobile classroms which gets annoying but after that its great. One thing that I excpected that was left out though was more active work in the school and just not hiring and firing teachers and building classrooms. But other han that excellent.

My favorite thing about this game is that you can give detentions. You also get to hire and fire people.

The premise for the game wasnt bad, the graphics could have been better. THE THING I HATED THE MOST; DISASTERS!!!! Once you got ahead of the game, got some cash and students, BOOM! earthquake or tornado. Who thought that up? You CANT turn them off either, i tried looking for cheat codes. Its a lame game, its not a good (im bored, need a good tycoon game to pass the time)so think before you buy, if its for a child, they'll get bored with it or pissed off.

School Tycoon?Is this another tycoon just thrown together by the devolepers or is it thoughtout?

Seems like a very good idea.I saw it and i downloaded the trial. I thought it was very good (it was the 1 hour trial), i did have a tornado and a fire but I just thought it happenes only every once in a while.SO i go ahead and buy it....
Frist of all i find out it happens ALL THE TIME.Every 30 mins there is some sort of disaster,i dont think it happens that much in the real world at one school.IT gets realy annoying when your school is big,and there is no fireman or anything to help it on this game.This would of been a better game without it or at least not all the time.The graphics are clear yet cartoonish.The game is fun.The game is not realy cutting edge in anything realy.
The good:clear cartoon graphics,very fun,you can most likey find it lower than $20 bucks,not too conplexed yet not to simple
The bad:DISASTER happen every like 30 mins and makes it boring for people who play for long periods in time,some glitches.
Overall Scores:
Gameplay:6(fair)
graphics:7(good)
Sound:7 (good)
value:7(good)
tilt:7(good)
OVERALL:6.9(fair)its not junk,just an average game out there realy has its ups and downs,you realy just have to weigh it and see if the good covers the bad for you.
sound:7(good)
Graphics

Not much of a game...

Hi. I'm a 15 year old here to tell you about this game. When I bought School Tycoon at my school book fair a few years ago, I thought I would actually be able to CREATE my dream school. Boy was I wrong. Sure there's classrooms, teachers, students, the basic stuff. But the creators left out one thing for this game: CUSTOMIZATION.

*Pros*
- You can create different types of students with distinct personalities.
- The teachers (especially the scrawny nerdy one) talk funny, like,
"Multiply the tax by two and you shall have the proper tip," and my favorite, "If my calculations are correct ...the world will end... in 1997," which is the funniest thing about the game.
- The deluxe classrooms and the gyms look nice.
- The Autosave feature (when the bus arrives, your game is automatically saved).
- You can direct students to go to the nurse, goof off, go to detention, or even expel them.

*Cons*
- The classrooms are BUILDINGS
- The stupid natural disasters kill your morale and it's almost impossible to bring it back up no matter how much you fix your school back to the way it was before.
- It's almost impossible to attract more than 40 students to your school so you have to keep creating new students.
- The paths get dirty really fast.
- There are objects in this game you would never find in a real school (what school would have a go-kart race track or a rollercoaster?!). Plus, the students don't even ride them - they just sit on the benches.
- Unless you use the cheat code, you can't have enough money to unlock everything to get the good classrooms.
- Everyone is silent except for the teachers. The only sounds you would hear are the "boops" from clicking on the game icons and the school bell.
- Most of the classrooms look like school buildings itself.
- You can't change the look of the classroom or any other building, no matter how stupid it looks.
- It's impossible to find a teacher with a high fun rating, a medium strictness rating, and a high skill rating.
- The graphics are a little blocky

I wouldn't recommend this game to anybody, except if you're a game designer that can fix it. It's not the worst game ever created, but the designers really could have done a much better job.
