About the only iconic part of this game is the OST, the perfect level of Vaporwave and Mallwave goodness. Additionally, one of those Renderware games that impresses technologically for 2003, but is severely lacking in sufficient gameplay. Imagine having to research 4 different kinds of staff before you even come close to unlocking garbage cans as place-able mall objects. This game also comes with absolutely NO TUTORIAL so unless you figure it out on your own like I did good luck to you.

The progression in this sandbox is baffling. The scenarios on occasion come with some things unlocked but they're so difficult its tough to be able to enjoy the experience.

Played this as a kid and figured I'd give it a replay to try and complete it this time around. What a mistake.

Do not recommend if you are an adult with adult responsibilities. The villagers need constant babysitting due to having the intelligence of rocks. My closest of 4 attempts made all died out because they did not continually grow food for themselves, they just gave up.

A prime example of mid 2000's Walmart shovelware
