Besides, you can play freestyle mode until your face turns blue...so ultimately it could go on for ever. The thing I liked the most, especially over most tycoons is that you get much more up close and personal with the carachters..they're not just random clones running around. I mean you have jocks, cheerleaders, nerds, etc. And every character has his own personality which really creates a feeling of social classes. Lots of teachers to choose from, each have pros and cons, so pick em wisely. The fun happy teacher isn't always the best choice=slacker students, etc. The graphics are creative and colorful, maybe not something you'd expect in a real sim, but once you've got a school built up, you'll be a proud principal. There's lots of little details, I could go on and...

Well Global Star Software has given everyone the chance to run a school of their own. Be careful, I thought it was going to be a snap and found out that planning ahead will certainly cut down on headaches later on. You choices from the very beginning are what building to put and how many will you need. From there you have to create a school system that works and hire teachers, make sure you have everything looking good because the better the school looks I found the more students that will attend. I also found too that if you forget to add a cafeteria you find the student revolting. The cool thing about this game is what you get to add to the school from a skateboard park to an arcade. While there user manual is a cute design, like a notebook, it lacks serious details about playing, but if you have played any "tycoon" games than you should be able to pick this up quickly. The thing that...

It is not surprising then that the game bears a bit of a resemblance to these other tycoons. If you can't figure out what the premise of school tycoon is about, go sit in a corner with the dummy hat on. It's a simulation/tycoon where you get to run a school. I was thinking it would be in one building, but instead you are given a large plot of land (much like in theme park world) and each classroom etc is its own building (kind of like college). The variety of buildings is large, and falls into the following categories: classrooms, administrative, entertainment, food/drink, and restrooms. But they are not just decorative; these students are demanding! They not only want top-notch education, restrooms and clean pathways but burger joints, arcades, mini golf courses, huge fountain areas...
