Circus Tycoon

Has anyone played this game and is it any fun? How is it compaired to Rollercoaster Tycoon?

Thanks,

Timmy

I bought this game... Let me say that at times it can be fun. However, it continually crashes, corrupts save data, and has weird bugs during gameplay. I would have to say, avoid this game even at its low pricetag. Playing it was very frustrating.

Anything that's new, cost like a budget 20 bucks, & has the word tycoon in it... lemme say... is garbage.

Mall Tycoon
Trailer Park Tycoon
WaterPark Tycoon
Seaworld Tycoon
Airport Tycoon
Circus Tycoon
Skatepark Tycoon
Ski Resort Tycoon
Casino Tycoon

Need I go on? There's lots more... and although the graphics look nice & the boxart looks attractive. There's always something major that keeps the game from just being fun... whether that be a major bug that keeps the game from being playable... a major gameplay bug, graphical glitches, low quality sound, or other.

Add School Tycoon to your list of crappy Tycoon titles. I saw that oen recently, run your own school, oh boy!

The companies wh ocreate these crapware games, which is usually Globalstar or Activision Value have to be the worst developers in the hsitory og gaming. How ashamed the programmers and game designers must be for releasing such poor games that obviously were never tested or put more then a months worth of work into them. I bet if you tried putting Airport Tycoon 1/2/3 on your resume to get a job for the big boys at EA Games, they'd just laugh their butts off and boot you out of the office.

The only other good tycoon i've played with is Railraod Tycoon which is very strategic!

Also add "carnival cruise line tycoon" to your list.

The only tycoon game I've enjoyed other than RCT was Microsoft Zoo tycoon. GO ahead and laugh if you want :)

hey! SeaWorld Tycoon is FUN!!!!

Zoo Tycoon was a good game...

Zoo Tycoon is an exception because it's made by Microsoft & cost more than 20 bucks. Although it was criticized by reviewers, the gamers loved it & came out with many expansion packs...

...but anything by those "value" manufactures are just garbage not even worth pirating on a download.

I don't know who was smoking what when they came up with sequals to Mall Tycoon, Airport Tycoon, SkiResort Tycoon & Skateboardpark Tycoon. Did they think that the 2nd game would be any better?
Believe me... the idea of these games is great (except airport tycoon). I was a sucker to buy one or two of these types of games, and really tried to like them... but they just can't compare to quality titles.

Add to the list:

Deep Sea Tycoon
Monopoly Tycoon (it was ok, but nothing worth noting)
Lemonade Tycoon
Golf Resort Tycoon
Car Tycoon
Pizza Tycoon
Criuse Line Tycoon REVIEW HERE
Mall of America Tycoon (soon to be released garbage)
Health & Fitness Club Tycoon
National Lampoons University Tycoon
School Tycoon REVIEW HERE
Stable Masters Tycoon
Moon Tycoon

Do you really remember any of these a month after they're released? Probably not! Great ideas, bad execution.
Believe me... if half of these games were halfway decent, I'd have blown more than a hundred bucks into these & a couple hundred hours of my time.

How can you claim a game is garbage before it is even released? did you play every single game listed? Well, I know you didn't play one, it hasn't been released yet...

Well, all the negative reviews in detail + the movies from various gaming web sites + some of them having demos give you an idea on how flawed & crap-tastic they really are.

BUT... just 'cause I don't play it doesnt mean I can't say it's garbage.

You ever play Big Rigs? Neither have I... and if you did, I bet you'd lost 25 IQ points... and without playing it, I can tell you that is the worst piece of garbage game ever released. Even more-so than Rollercoaster Factory for the PC or the very disappointing Coaster Works for Sega Dreamcast (oh why was I suckered into buying it?)

You can claim a game is gabage just by who is creating the game. If it has Global Star or Activision Value ,or any 'value' name, you know it is junk! Name one o fthose tycoon games listed abvoe that was fun for more then 1 hour?

Another Railroad Tycoon sequel just came out this week and was made by Chris Sawyer...the box even says "By The creator of Roller Coaster Tycoon!"
I don't know if it's any good though.

They do have another Zoo Tycoon 2 coming out this month. :)

RRT3 came out a year ago, and it's not a Sawyer game. Locomotion came out yesterday, and that is a Sawyer game.

Most of the Game Locomotion looks like a RCT ripoff, especially most of the graphics, not to add the corny music Chris Sawyer added with it, If anyone gets the chance view the videos and you'll know what i mean :(

In reality, RCT was a Transport Tycoon ripoff, and this is technically a sequel to TT, it isn't a ripoff. I may actually think of getting Locomotion, after a few months of RCT3D...

OH, i have never heard of the TT but I don't like the fact that they look almost identical, except differant in ways, I like games that are differant, alot like RCT and its successors of Expansion packs and ect. Thats why its a rip-off in my opinion only, although i suppose it might be worth a try, but to me, why waste the money.

This is why I said many months ago in a seperate thread, that you have to be GLAD that Chris Sawyer isn't working directly on the game.

If he was, you'd have RCT-3 looking a lot like these games, which has very little change... and I'm sure everyone would be pissin' & moanin' about the graphics & such.

This is a blessing that Chris Sawyer isn't working directly on the project. I've been waiting for a game with steep system requirements for optimal performance (besides Doom3)

finally, someone who agrees, even if RCT was a ripoff of TT. ;)
