    Yet another game, that in title reminds me of Bullfrog or Akklaim, but in gameplay reminds me of the fact that I want to stick something through my nose, and erase the last 7 years of torture the Tycoon genre has been through. Where's the spirit? There's no fun to placing buildings of different kinds and advancements on some lot, with the highest level of customization availableYet another game, that in title reminds me of Bullfrog or Akklaim, but in gameplay reminds me of the fact that I want to stick something through my nose, and erase the last 7 years of torture the Tycoon genre has been through. Where's the spirit? There's no fun to placing buildings of different kinds and advancements on some lot, with the highest level of customization available being ornamentation.

    The shallow management quickly devolves into make-work. Toss in frustrating random hurricanes and fires, and you'll recall why you couldn't wait to graduate. [May 2004, p.73]

    If you're looking for a management game that won't overwhelm you with details and spreadsheets, School Tycoon should be right up your alley.
