To the experience of hearing a hall full of people cheerily jigging about Which is why the most accurate description I can come up with is that the experience of playing it is actually rather similar Never before have matters of life and death seemed so jolly, and yet simultaneously stressful. except you can't relax for a moment, since you've got a hundred and one decisions to make, all at the same time. Watching the on-screen hustle and bustle is peculiarly relaxing. TheĬolours are bright and snappy, the scenery teems with life. In this world, both the diseases you'll encounter and the equipment you'll cure them with are surreal and cartoon-like. Playfulness and tension go hand in hand in Theme Hospital. If you're harbouring any doubts as to whether hospital management can actually be enjoyable, you can dispel them now. Not only is Theme Hospital far far Cwackier' than Theme Park, it also pisses over it from a great height in terms of gameplay.
Where's the fun in a bloody hospital simulation, for crying out loud? Did you ever play Theme Park? That had such an air of fun about it. There seems to be a consensus of doubt about the game's appeal: after all, its chosen territory conjures up images of endless white corridors, impassive administrators, emaciated patients eking out their last days with only a drip for company, bedpans, blankets and starched white bedsheets. Now, everybody I've mentioned Theme Hospital to seems to say the same thing: Eh? Theme Hospital? Can't see how that's going to work.
It's a Cgod game' in which you must build, manage and maintain a successful city hospital. Theme Hospital is a sequel, of sorts, to Theme Park. Deeply unnerving.īecause for some reason they were dancing to the theme tune from Casualty. I could tell the crowd were lapping it up - by the sound of their enthusiastic hoofing, they were dancing in formation - but under the circumstances, I found it unnerving. their choice of music was bizarre to say the least. But that night, there was something unusual. It wasn't unusual to hear the muffled thump ofloud dance music and the babble of the party crowd throbbing out well into the early hours. At the back i of the building was a community centre, which habitually hosted wedding receptions, I And then noticed I what was going on i outside. Prayers to a God I didn't even believe in, balancing precariously on the f brink of death's precipice. Mary's Hospital, fading in and out ofĬonsciousness, choking on my own blood and mumbling desperate I was utterly convinced that within the hour, I'd find myself being wheeled into the casualty department Hospital, fading in at of St. Me, being tied into a pretzel and hurled bollocks-first from the top floor window by his knuckleheaded cronies. Me, having my face cut open with a rusty bread-knife. So anyway, I was hiding upstairs, cowering, contemplating the scene that would doubtless unfold: me, having my legs broken with a hammer. Not because I was afraid of him (the only circumstances under which he'd be scary would be if you found him sitting on your lap, winking and wriggling around), but I was afraid of one of the more specific threats he kept making: namely, to return with a van-load of his 'friends', who were considerably larger, bolder, and far more likely to stove heads in with crowbars. You are working with a budget so you have to decide to go for expensive people who are great, or take a chance on someone who may have a few “issues” You need to hire doctors, nurses, and other staff such as handymen. Dealing with people is also something you have to contend with. While building your hospital and having the right rooms and the right pieces of medical equipment is a massive part of the game.
You can develop new technologies that can create cures which is cool and there is always something that needs your attention. As you progress you get more and more things to make use of and it becomes apparent that Theme Hospital is far deeper than you thought. You need things like an examination room, pharmacy, reception desk, and so on. When you start you just have a small area and you need to start filling your hospital out. It is the perfect blend of challenging and fun and it will often swing one way more than the other as you play on many occasions. As you play Theme Hospital you will always be doing a delicate balancing act of trying to keep everything afloat. It is also there to make some big bucks as well. The goal of the game is to build a hospital that is not only there to treat patients and make people feel better.
