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.
-
The game's excellent music just can't compensate for its poor graphics or clunky interface.
-
The primary problem with Mall Tycoon is that you don't get nearly enough feedback from your shoppers.
-
PC GamerMy biggest complaint is that you can't design your own stores: you have to use one of the four ultra-bland pre-fabricated designs. [May 2002, p.69]
-
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.
-
Mall Tycoon's anemic execution really turns any simulation aspects into micromanagement chaos.
-
It's ugly, bland, boring and nondescript. Kind of like the average mall.
-
Vintage 1994 graphics and laughable gameplay make this one the first games of 2002 to snatch a deserved one-star rating.

Computer Gaming WorldThis game is so not fun, it almost put me into a coma. [May 2002, p.86]
