The introduction cinematic is amusing to watch because it features a stressed-out, bumbling principal who boils over the edge and tells you to run the school. Right from the start, you know School Tycoon is going to be lighthearted. You'll be responsible for laying the pathways as well as hiring staff. However, the game's simplicity does work well to create an entertaining strategy gaming experience, as long as you're not looking for a hardcore number-crunching game.
It's rather simple for a tycoon game, and there are some noticeable bugs that can be frustrating. The game puts you in charge of a school's operations, so you must make concessions between the school's budget and the students' education. OMG i loved that game! Okay, here's an ultra long but great review of the game from Gamestop: Just when you thought you'd been the tycoon of everything, along comes School Tycoon. And also a site that isn't too expensive where I can buy it. It is also possible to hire teachers and coaches with a variety of different skills. The player can build academic buildings, sports facilities, entertainment buildings, and an assortment of other structures such as statues, fountains, and food areas.
As money is earned, better and larger classrooms can be built, helping the students to learn more. When starting off a school, the player can only afford small classrooms. Students in the school can learn ten different subjects. The game also has speed controls, to accelerate the pace of events, and has variable difficulty settings. The game view can zoom in to select individual students, or zoom out to look at the whole school. There is also a sandbox game mode without specific objectives, giving the player the freedom to build any type of school they desire. The objectives in the game increase in difficulty as the player progresses an easy objective might be to get a certain number of students into school, while a more difficult objective would be to earn a certain amount of money within a time limit. The player places buildings and paths to create the school's layout. The game has overhead view of a farm, city lot, or beach-side lot where a school is to be built. The game was designed to appeal to a younger audience as it is easier and less complicated than other Tycoon games by removing the spreadsheets and statistics of game management. School Tycoon is a computer game developed by Cat Daddy Games in 2004 and published by Global Star Software.
