Just remember: Hospital Tycoon is a bad game and you will feel bad if you buy it
Really? I loved that game
No wait... Sorry I am thinking of Theme Hospital the much better game.
Yeah, like I said. Don't make the mistake of going "Hospital Tycoon? That has to be just as good!"
Just don't. Not to experiment, not if you have money to burn, not even as a joke.
MUD TV: Well it's, uh, different. If you want a tycoonish game I guess it kind of works. It must have been experimental and it shows. You actually have an avatar and you walk around your TV station; you go into rooms to interact with them. The interface isn't that bad but it does seem kind of muddy, like it would have been simpler if they just uh...did it the way every other game does. The complicated interface conceals a simplistic game that doesn't seem like it has much depth, but at least it's better than that HORRIBLE movie-maker game. No I'm not talking about "The Movies". There was one I saw that didn't have any graphics, it was just...just...um. Well let's just say there's only so far you can go in this genre.
In any case MUD TV doesn't give you much room for creativity. One of the best parts of Theme Hospital gameplay and indeed the Sims games were that they're all about workflow management: putting the right rooms in the right places so that people flow smoothly from place to place, then watching as your smoothly oiled machine operates. MUD TV doesn't have much flowing from place to place really, and is very hands on in a mediocre way.
It's still the best entry in the 'TV station tycoon' genre, at least.
Anyway, I just got through the tutorial so far. I'm not sure if it gets any deeper than what I saw. It does at least have multiplayer, so hey.
