Maximum Capacity: Hotel Giant

As long as you're patient and can handle the complexity that goes into managing a hotel, you'll do just fine with Hotel Giant.

At worst this game still remains a somewhat enjoyable experience thanks to the deep customizability of creating rooms.

Hotel Giant falls into the trap of trying to be two things at once - an entertaining sim clone, as well as trying to appeal to fans of the various tycoon management games. Sadly, it will fail to fully satisfy either party.

One of the most deathly boring games you’re ever likely to play.

The drone-like guests don’t offer any spice, there are no real pressing concerns like fire or floods, and boredom is your greatest challenge.

More of a focus on customers and personalities, using grotesque caricatures and stereotypes, as apposed to a detailed simulation of the realities of running a hotel would have done wonders. [Nov 2002, p.83]

Drop dead tedious as a construction simulation, limited and rigid as a business management experience, and ridiculously uninteresting as a people-watching escapade.
