my favorite tycoon 
2008-01-08
does not deserve the T rating because despite the option to create a Syndicate and launch attacks against competeing resturants there is no blood or boddies, the explosions are unrealistic, once the attackers are in the location everyone leaves that building and the store is closed for about 3 ingame hours that is all should be E
Average Game 
2003-12-03
I got this game awhile back and played it quite a bit. I loved the idea of it, but I highly recommend purchasing Restaurant Empire instead. It's a better game, with many more options.
Basically in this game you get a blank restaurant, you outfit it, you staff it, you make the "menu" and you try to keep customers happy. The biggest downside to this is that your menu consists only of pizza. You can make all kinds of pizza (which actually has a really fun interface), but you can only make pizza. The other part is - if you make pizzas that are popular in the real world.. like PEPPERONI.. the customers don't like them. They seem to like crazy pizzas like "Maggot sausage pizza with ants." Umm...
Overall it's not a bad game. I got it in the bargin bin at the game store for like $10, and it was worth the cost. Despite the few faults, it is fun to play and I got MANY hours of enjoyment out of it.
IF I COULD GIVE IT 0 STARS I WOULD

This game is horrible, if i could return this game i would. It is not worth spending even a penny on. Confusing and boring!
Great Game But Learning the Game Can Be Difficult 
2002-08-01
I got this game used through Amazon for a very good price. I own Fast Food Tycoon 1 and really enjoyed playing it so I assume this one would be even better and it was. Just started playing.
Pros: I love the cartoonist graphics
Very challenging you can't just win the scenerios just like that
More things to do in this one then the first Fast Food Tycoon.
Biggest Con: Still no real tutorial to go with the game. The game tutorial [is bad]. You have to figure out how to play the majority of the game on your own.
I would have given the game 5 if it wasn't for that
awsome game 2002-07-25
I would definetly reccomend this game to any one who loves to have control over a game. I own the game myself and it keeps me interested in it.
A Great Bargain Bin Game 2002-04-13
... These are kind of like the games you buy and don't expect too much, but you can get a lot for the money.
First of all, a minus is the lack of instructions. No booklet inside, you have to look in the glossary in the game, which can be annoying when you need to know what the customer is saying or what is happening quickly. Eventually you realize what most buttons do, but I still don't use all of the options to my advantage.
Since you're supposed to build your pizza empire, there are many ways to attract customers. Try building different levels of luxury for different branches, or even challenge your rival restaurants to a best pizza contest. If you're successful, you still have to hire more employees to keep up with the flow of visitors.
A fun part of the game is the pizza making option, you design your own pizza, sometimes out of the weirdest ingredients-snake, maggots, ants, even a whole can of tuna. You have to adjust your ingredient choices to satisfy different customers-student, gothic, tourist, etc.
And finally, there are different cities to choose from, and the habitants speak their native language. Sometimes it can be a touch confusing, but it can be a nice addition.
If you enjoy simulation games, like I do, pick this game up, it's a well done bargain game.
Too hard for the normals 2002-04-06
This game was too hard to learn. It took me 30 minutes just to figure out how to build a building and it took me 15 minutes after that to figure out what i did. dont listen to what anyone else tells you. dont buy. big waste.

Better than the first one 2002-02-24
This game was alot of fun. As the player, you have alot more control over the game than you did the first one. And the limit for how many people you could employ per restaurant is now gone. The graphics were more realistic. All in all, it is a much better version. Definatly worth the money. Alot of replay value.
It could be better... 2002-02-24
...but it could be a LOT worse! Since it doesn't come with a manual, this game is a little confusing at first, but it's really fun after that! You can expand your restaurants as much as you want, and you can send couriers with rats, cockroaches, woodworms, and more to competitors! Definetely one for the future business person!
