Fusing Tycoon-style gameplay with character simulation and a light-hearted narrative, Hospital Tycoon gives players a soap-operaAt the Sapphire Beach Medical Institute, the lives and loves of the hospital's doctors and nurses, as well as the sneezes and diseases of its patients, come alive. Fusing Tycoon-style gameplay with character simulation and a light-hearted narrative, Hospital Tycoon gives players a soap-opera feel as they progress through episodes of hospital drama's Story Mode. Each episode in Hospital Tycoon explores a plot involving certain members of the hospital's staff and some very interesting patients, while at the same time challenging players to find cures for bizarre new illnesses. Diseases range from the everyday Explosive Sneezing - where a simple sneeze can launch the unfortunate patient several feet into the air, to the more rare Monkey Nuts - where patients sprout fur, climb furniture and favor bananas over everyday person food. Hospital Tycoon staff members have rich behaviors that players can nurture and influence throughout the game. Gamers may choose to encourage a friendship or a falling-out of sorts, and can train staff to improve their skill levels. Players are also challenged to manage and maintain each hospital, creating dedicated areas to support additional medical needs, including surgery, diagnosis, physiotherapy and more. As more patients are cured, the more players can expand their medical empire and attract new, and even more interesting patients. However, as the hospital becomes busier, players have to be on the lookout for the spread of infectious conditions or they'll soon have an epidemic running riot throughout the facility.

    You control every tile of the hospital floor, from the amount of vending machines to how much you pay your surgeons. It does get tiresome, especially after hearing the bossa-nova-flavored lounge music loop for the 70th time, but for a short while it can be as addictive as OxyContin.

    It's cute in an exploding flatulence kind of way, but the actual gameplay itself is pretty tedious and repetitive. [July 2007, p.70]

    Sadly rather disappointing. It's all the more disappointing because it promises so much and because it is so reminiscent of the classic "Theme Hospital."

    Far too simplistic and lacking in challenge to be even vaguely capable of recommending, even at its budget price.

    Sadly, ten years on, Hospital Tycoon has added nothing new to "Theme Hospital's" stellar gameplay and ends up feeling, a bit like its subject, cold and clinical. [Aug 2007, p.75]

    Hospital Tycoon tries to inject a bit of drama into its by-the-numbers tycoon game formula, but ultimately ends up dead on the operating table.

    Releasing this game in its current state is nothing short of reprehensible and Codemasters current stance of 'too bad' only makes matters worse.

    Dissapointing. Loved theme hospital but this takes a step backwards in terms of quality. When will game developers learn some games dont Dissapointing. Loved theme hospital but this takes a step backwards in terms of quality. When will game developers learn some games dont benefit from a fully 3d engine. I like the extra types of staff and greater variation in machines etc but it retains none of the charm found in bullfrogs classic. Its not a bad game just not a terribly good one, maybe a 6 is a little harsh, but i just dont enjoy it as much as Theme Hospial 10 years ago.… Expand

I was sadly disappointed. Theme Hospital was awesome, but this wasn't an upgrade at all. I'd rather play Theme Hospital than this game. The thing that annoyed me most was that the camera angle was terrible, and no matter how much I tried to change it, I felt like I didn't get a good overview at all. Very disappointing.… Expand

There is a bug where the patients will stop seeking treatment and just chug coffee in the lobby until they die. Don't waste your money on this game.
