Hospital Tycoon Review, Trailer

Based around the day to day comings and goings in a large hospital, the new Hospital Tycoon from British producers Codemasters is the latest twist in a well used formula.

Following the success of Theme Hospital, which left an imprint a few years ago, comes Hospital Tycoon for PC, a new game based on the daily life of a hospital. As in Theme Hospital, we will have to manage as best as best we can a large hospital just a walk from the beach. But not only that, we will have to monitor all kinds of situations that may occur, such as love, disaffection, and fights between our staff which may affect our reputation.

At the level of the graphics the game is nothing capable of transporting us to another world, in fact has been done in before many times over. The game emphasizes the characterization of the people, like they did in Theme Hospital, but featuring a caricatured design, which will give a more comical aspect to the game.

On the sound, the melody sounds repetitive in the background and a little aggravating. The absence of the characters being able to talk is frustrating. We only hear sounds that fit with the general appearance of the game.

Not only will we rely on nurses and doctors, we will also have guards, receptionists, engineers, and so on. There will also be a variety of patients, of all genders, ages and races who suffer from all kinds of physical and psychological illnesses, some of them quite embarrassing.


Diseases will be evident through balloons that appear around the characters, bandages and other effects that will enable us to more easily recognize the ailments of our patients. Treating a disease will be in the form of letters in which we identify the elements necessary for the diagnosis and treatment.

An important aspect in terms of treating patients will be speed. If it takes too much time to diagnose and treat a patient, it will affect the reputation of our hospital. One factor affecting the speed with which staff respond to a patients needs will be the mood of our employees, those who are well rested and are happy and we'll take care of patients properly so do not to overlook good labour relations.

As our hospital will develop, so will our needs, we can improve the appearance of our hospital with plants, tables, seats, bins, soft drink machines, etc. and be able to customize an object by changing its colour, but perhaps most problematic is the placement all these objects so as not to impede the passage of the characters and make a good appearance on the screen.

All-in-all an enjoyable game, which does have minor irritations.
