I’ll admit, some of what takes place in Tycoon does reflect reality to a degree. The brief reviews could be indicative of the industry’s obsession with scores as opposed to constructive criticism, and achieving perfect scores and pandering to demographics is all that seems to matter in the game and the real world. However, I don’t really think Tycoon really wants to be more than ‘a glimpse’ at video game production, and any attempt to comment on the industry from this dull, monotonous experience fails to hit its mark.
