  1. A nice little program. While not overly complex, it still is entertaining.

    Building your own galleria is fun for a bit, but because it's such a simple economic simulation, there's just no staying power here.
  3. The game's excellent music just can't compensate for its poor graphics or clunky interface.
  4. While this might seem to be a mall rat's dream, Mall Tycoon falls short of the mark as either a business simulation or a shopping center builder.
  5. Mall Tycoon's anemic execution really turns any simulation aspects into micromanagement chaos.
  6. It's ugly, bland, boring and nondescript. Kind of like the average mall.
