This game is really good once you learn all the aspects of the game, it seems simple on the surface, but can be rather complex underneath.

As far as someone should put up a website for it, and the other comment about activision pulling the fast food tycoon site. There is a site, and activision didnt pull it, as far as I can see the company that offers it had some server trouble for a few weeks, but in any event its back up and running.

Found the Icons--Glossary

Demographics in the back, then click on the bottom icon, then click on the cloud to the right. Took me 2 weeks to find it, but now at least I understand. This makes the game make more sense, but I wish they would write something like "GLOSSARY" below the cloud.

Box or jewel Case-it doesn't matter.

My wife got me this game for our anniversary present, thinking I have too many casino games, and that I like pizza.

First of all, agree with every review of this game I can find, the worst thing is lack of a definitive instruction manual, like the zoo tycoon, which is about the size of a TV Guide.

Also, noticed that the tutorial crashes, so that becomes no help. There are on line instructions and general guidelines in the help menu, but it's hard to scroll and read. So what to do?

Fortunately with a little common sense and exploring the various menu and options, one can open a restaurant and have people come in and order and eat. that's a hoot. However, I ran out of money quickly, trying to do it all, and busted.

Yeah, my wife's right, I did enjoy making the pizzas and decorating the building. I got confused generally where I was at, and am still trying to refine personnel management; but in time and enough playing around and exploring various click points, the game falls into place, and more success will come.

In summary, the game can be fun; a better guide would help, especially one that explains the various icons to click on. Also, more readable menus and result charts would be helpfull too. Maybe pull down or pop up menus. Whatever it would take to make the game easier to navigate.

I rate it average, I like it; and find great potential for it. Actually with all the scenarios included, it is a great bargain for the money. Maybe with more play experience, I'll think more highly of it.

very dissapointing!!

How to Exit

It isn't that hard to exit all of you that aren't too bright. There are two icons that are on the main screen once you are playing the game. One of them is used for saving, and the other is for settings. Just click on the settings icon and then it will give you choices on how to exit. It has a windows icon that will bring you to windows, or a rocket/missile type thing that brings you out of the playing part of the game. I hope that now all of you slow people will learn how to do this.

Awsume, but...

This game is awsome, it has every thing I wanted when I bought it but, The bad thing is that there very bad graphics and there is no way to exit the game eccept [ctrl]+[alt]+[delete]. Thats the only bad thing about the game. If you are thinking about buying the game buy it but, don't buy it if you do not want to exit the game that way.

I Would Give It No Stars (If I Could)

This was the hardest game that I have ever tried to play. (And I have played many simulated games) The number one problem is the fact that there is no instruction manual. What's up with that? It took me a long time just to figure out how to exit the game! I have tried and tried, and I just cannot figure out this game - and the tutorial is no help. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME, AND FOR HEAVENS SAKES, DO NOT BUY THE EXPANSION!! This game is a total rip-off, and waste of [money]!!

When I saw Fast Food tycoon at Best Buy, I had to get it. Now that I do have it, it confuses me. There are so many buttons and it just isn't as fun as I expected. They had a great idea here too, just it's too bad that it didn't work out. I normally love simulation games, but this one is just plain boring. It took me about 20 minutes to just figure out how to quit the stinking game! I wish it wasn't so complicated.

I love this game! Why is it getting such bad reviews?

I got this game a few years ago...and I still love it till this day. It passes the time very quickly,sure at first it takes some getting used to. But,once you learned how things work, it will be additing. I am even thinking of playing it again today (its been a LONG time)

Pros:

-Hours and Hours of fun game play...

-Cool Music and Sounds

-Has alot of Humor

-Hundreds of different charaters to interact with...

-Just plain ol' fun

Cons:

-Takes a while getting used to...

-Its hard to make a successful pizza (well to me)

-Can be hard and tricky at times...you got to know what you are doing...

Other than that, I would go and try to borrow or buy a copy,its one of the best tycoon games I have came across (the best for me).

:( I hope I can find the CD to it...I think I lost it! LOL!
