The 2D TV Industry Experience The Positive's + Workshop + Fun Gameplay Mechanics + Multiple Gamemodes The Negative's - Stale Soundtrack - Repetitive Dialogue Choices The Aspect Of The Game You are one of three channel directors in charge of maintaining and growing your channel competing against the other rival channels working in the same building with you. My Two Cent Review This is a short little TV studio simulator game that I have been playing on and off and will most likely continue to be playing on and off again. I love the little 2D art style they used when making the game and the mechanics to play the game are very straight forward. There is even a workshop that allows you to import real tv shows and movies into the game world as well as actors. There are multiple modes you can play around with if you don't want the game to end or wanna set a goal for yourself to reach. While maintaining your channel each day you also have the option to either buy different shows/movies or create them yourselves which is a much cheaper option in the long term. To make money you take out ad contracts which rewards you for getting a certain viewers attention during a certain channel block. There are also optional side quests you will be given throughout the day which if you fulfill will also earn you a little bit of money on the side. The more popular you become the more upgrades you unlock and better choice of actors to pick from when casting tv shows or movies. One thing I don't like is when you are in the production phase of a movie or tv show you will often get halted by about 10 possible scenarios which are always the same outcomes sadly which are interesting at first but get repetitive to read when you are constantly making shows or movies like I have been doing which of course could be fixed with workshop additions. There are also random event's throughout the week that you have option to participate in that can boost your viewership if done correctly which is fun little side work. The music of the game has only two different music tracks which get stale very fast if you play the game long enough. The Value of The Game While there isn't a whole lot you can really do in this game I believe for the content is worth picking it up when it goes on sale. Final Score 74/100 Ranking C Tier

It's amazing how many times over the years I've come back to this simple little sim. I keep wishing for a sequel to push the idea even further, but it's still well worth the price.

it's a madTV homage. I personally wish there could be more features, but for what it is, it's good.

Its a brilliant little game. I find myself always coming back to it. It is more than worth the price.

Random thoughts on the game... I loved "MadTV" (the old PC game - not the TV show). I always thought that, as a formula, it was a really compelling game. So much so that I'm often surprised no one has taken the concept forward. Granted this version, Empire TV Tycoon, is almost 10 years old at this point but... it scratches the itch. There's a few things about the game that I don't think work versus the original. The big one is ads. In the original, ads were always based on viewership. In this version, it's based on percentage of your audience. That might not sound like much of a difference but when you're setting up new antenaes to increase your broadcast range, you shouldn't have to worry about not hitting the new audience goal for contracts you already negotiated. Sorta annoying. They also took out the whole romance angle, which I kinda guess, but it was somewhat charming. Also they entirely took out the terrorism angle where you could send a suicide bomber to a rival station (the 80's were a weird time). Again, I get why. But yeah, it's a good game!
