An unworthy successor to the Theme Hospital legacy.

User Rating: 5.6 | Hospital Tycoon PC
Disappointing sums up my experience with Hospital Tycoon so far.

Don't get me wrong, the game's solid, it's entertaining and enjoyable, but it's just not in Theme Hospital's league (and that's a very old game now). The Sims-like element of getting staff members to interact with each other and become friends (or enemies) seems pointless and bolted onto the rest of the game.

Story-mode needs to be more of a challenge, I've played for about four hours and think I'm more than halfway through the game without needing to restart any levels and try again. Surely I should have messed something up by now with my strategy.

But ... don't let this deter you. The game is still much better than many other things on the market these days, so if you want a management sim game this is up there (but go and find Theme Hospital in a bargain bin and see what you're missing as well!)
