Absolutely not worth your time. This game very quickly becomes boring. Game feels incomplete.
There is nothing to do in this game except place rooms, buy equipment, and hire staff. That is it. If you so wish to indulge yourself in the social aspects of the game, you will be disappointed there as well. I have seen others state that they could not get high numbers of patients in their hospitals. I, however, have topped out at 35 patients at any one time in the hospital. The AI does not have an efficient queuing mechanism, making large amounts of patients undesirable. Patients will die, without fail, regardless of the amounts of staff and facilities you provide. For some reason, the patients tend to stand around or wander away even when the facilities and the staff are available.
All in all, the game is boring... and when its not... its frustrating. This is a budget game that might be worth the 15 minutes of entertainment when it hits the $5 bargain bin. Codemasters and Big Red don't seem to understand that customers would rather have a well-polished game that costs a little more than cheaper, poorly-developed game that isn't worth buying in the first place.
