Pizza Tycoon description

Pizza Tycoon, Pizza Tycoon, one of the most worthy representatives of the family Tycoon. Maybe the game is not as well known as her older brother, Transport Tycoon, but interesting Pizza did he not inferior (and in the field of humor, perhaps even surpasses).

So, you have a choice of thirty different alter-ego, a little bit of cash equity (the amount depends on the characteristics of the character), stained with pizza ingredients map of Europe with America and the dream to create your own chain of restaurants.

Upon arrival in the chosen city study the tastes of the residents rent a room (or several, if funds permit), prepare it according to their tastes (elements of design - just a wild number! Some of the chairs - about 50 species), we arrange the tables, chairs, decoration items, and hired staff.

Now the fun begins. Of course, you can fill in a menu the standard masterpieces of Italian catering, but it's not as interesting as making your own pizza. It is a kind of mini-game: at your disposal all the ingredients imaginable - from the mundane potato to the exotic edible ants. Products can twist, crush and put them intricate designs on the cake. At the end of cooking pizza is submitted to the public. Enjoy the pizza people or not - depends on the tastes of the population in your area (lovers of meat and spicy are unlikely to appreciate popular in other parts of the fruit pizza), and tastes of the country (my pizza "beetle in the anthill", which went to "cheers" in Paris, for some reason, rejected in London). However, this is not all of the criteria. It was observed that the computer puts more points neat, aesthetically beautiful pizza than a chaotic heap of good products. For me, Pizza Tycoon is the only game where the computer really appreciated the delicious real life recipes.

One of the most interesting aspects of the game is that it is possible to lead a life decent Manager, hold culinary competitions, inventing new recipes, and you can be a large mafia, to negotiate with the crooks to hand in stuff restaurants of competitors from a grenade launcher, to trade weapons, drugs and the like.

Very pleasantly surprised "liveliness" of the game world. So, the visitors openly Express their opinions about your pizza, service and overall design of the restaurant, and employees asking for time off, complain, be late for work.
Replicas of each character is individual and rarely repeated. With each their replica you have several response options - from "okay, who does not happen" to "what did you do that did you?!". Remember, it was very sad when went on maternity leave, my best cook, held several training courses and calmly survived several wage delays.

Particularly noteworthy are the mini-games. For example, cooking competitions, where you have to cook the pizza on a given recipe is faster and more accurate opponent. Or destruction of furniture in the restaurant of a competitor using one of the four types of weapons, followed by running away from the police.
Interestingly implemented is: there are simple flyers, there are ads in the newspaper (here it is necessary to make meaningful sentence of the slogans) and TV advertising (here you choose one of the funny commercials).

Pleasing to the eye graphic design. Nice impression on hand-drawn animated picture, the stylization of the game messages, and animated caricatures of famous people (e.g., Gorbachev, Ronald Reagan or Lenin).

Overall - a good and quality game that combines realism with fun. From myself I will add that this vile computer terrorist has managed for three years to hold in tension my entire family (including mom and grandma)!
