I just bought the game at Best Buy and have only played it once, but I enjoy it. I don't think it's too hard to figure out, but it could bea little easier. I suggest you buy this game if you have the time to learn it. I think it is very fun and has enough information for you to be able to learn it. I hope this helped you. I do think it is worth the money!

I thought this game was really dull! The manual doesn't help what so ever! But, if you buy be careful and watch your money because you go in debt real fast!

The game and its future

This is a real nice looking game. The game itself (which could be considered a 4 star) is well put together, and if you have the time to figure things out then it just might be worth picking up. Some information exists through the game to help the player figure things out, but the noticeable lack of printed instructions or detailed information within the game can make for a bit of work to enjoy what is obviously within the game (hence it could be considered only 2 stars). In a sense, this can make the game realistic, as starting a business is often not so easy anyway. This game is probably going to disappear soon because of all this. It might be a good idea if someone consider starting a page or site for the game and the gamers who enjoy some of the cool things inside and under the surface of this nice looking, multiple option game (and post that site address up here in a review). Overall, it seems to be a 3 star game with potential.

Funny game, but awfully frustrating to grasp

The entire game becomes quite difficult to understand, and even the tutorials didn't help much. After a while, it took several weeks for me to understand how to make a profit, and I managed to ever so slowly. But it's a funny game, from the bouncy music to the way they classify all your customers (kids, goths, plebs, VIPs, yuppies, students, tourists, and teens). And, unlike most other Tycoon games, there's a surprising amount of sabotage involved.

You start with joining a bank and advertising agency. The real work divides into three areas, with an optional fourth if you wanna get dirty-

1. The branch itself. You buy a building (comes in small/medium/large) and decorate it with chairs and tables and a few knick-knacks that don't matter save the jukebox. When you open the pizza branch this is where you see all the customers come in and order. It's a pizza place, but it runs like a restaurant with the waiters and such. You may also need a warehouse to keep ingredients in.

2. The staff. There's cooks, waiters, temps, and sometimes a manager. They all have skill levels in which you can pay to train, but also they have other factors such as motivation and talent which affect their total efficiency. Despite how big your building(s) may be, you can only hire seven workers per branch. Full time workers work three shifts in a six-shift day, so you'll need at least two cooks and waiters to cover everything. Also, you have to keep them happy with pay increases (which you can never decrease, unfortunately).

3. The pizza. It was tough trying to satisfy all the different classes of people, but there are a lot of toppings to put on. Even ants and maggots. But by chopping up ingredients and finding the right balance amongst the meat, cheese, fruits, and vegs you could make the pizza very popular. You'll put your original pizzas, along with four standard toppings, on a menu which your customers will choose from.

4. Crime- if you decide to play with computer opponents (a no-no for beginners) then you'll want to wreck their branches through advertising, hiring punks to scare their customers, or joining a mob syndication. When you pull off jobs, you do third-person pointing and clicking to move and fire. It's something that earns some cash and is thrilling for about an hour, though.

The game offers a fair amount of data on pizza topping trends, a pie chart determining the cash flow, but many little icons and sections you'll have to look at over and over to discover what it actually means (you usually do so by holding the mouse over the icon and waiting for a small message to scroll above the icon.

B+

A fun challenging game that will most likely fulfil your sim-business needs. When you first start out, you will be without a manual, however there are preset in game scenarios that help you to get adjusted to the basic workings of the game and to help you move around and get accostomed to the gameplay. For a tycoon game, it was quite exceptional, and surprisingly entertaining, even if you ae not a fan of sim and tycoon games, you may still want to check this one out.

It would be really fun if there was a book with it to help you out. I'm really lost in it.I did the tutorial but when you go to start a game it is different. I could really use some help with it.

HORRIBLE GAME!

If I could have given this game no stars I would have. Don't be fooled by the word "Tycoon" as I was. This game shouldn't even be able to bare the Tycoon name. It is impossible to play! I would have been happier throwing the twenty dollars I spent on this game out the window. And aside from the difficulty, the game isn't even fun! It was a good idea, but the game concept is too complicated. Don't be fooled into buying this game. You're much better off buying Roller Coaster Tycoon or one of the games from The Sims series.

The game is very easy to play and it only took me about 15 minutes to figure everything out, i don't know why everyone thinks the game is hard because i had never played any version of it before and i thought it was easy so personally i think it is a great game. I like games that are fun to watch and this one is. I like the fact that the game is a little challenging because if it wasnt challenging then it wouldnt be that much fun. This game doesnt take long to master and it is alot of fun. Even though there is no instruction manual if you keep your mouse over all the icons you can see what they mean, so i really dont know what everyones problem is. The real challenge is making money. This is a really great game so i reccomend buying it, i have a fft fansite but amazon wont let me put the adress on here, nor my email to get the adress, so look in yahoo and type fast food tycoon, my site is called " the fast food tycoon webpage". There you will find out how to make the perfect restauraunt.

A great game but quite hard...

I love this game. You will have your own restaurants and earn money with them :)
The game is quite hard if you play a "custom game" with the difficult level is "God Father". I think you can't win him if you start with less capital,characteristic than him. However, I don't think Pizza is a FastFood, and I hate the game for wait too long when installing.
Finally I hope you buy it and play funny, than we could talk more.BUY IT NOW!!!

Can't figure this game out

The idea is great, the graphics are good (even if the icons are a little confusing) and I even figured out how to run the tutorial, set up a restaurant, design a menu, get financing, hire workers AND EXIT the game. What I can't do is make people come in and eat Pizza! I also can't seem to speed up the clock (it's a little boring watching the restaurant when it's closed at night)

This game could probably be great with a little instruction beyond the tutorial. I've looked for tips, cheats, web ring etc., and nothing exists. I only gave this game 2 stars because I have HOPE that someday I will figure it out.
