Join Donatello, Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Raphael in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection. It's still a kick, and is deep and challenging all the way to the end. Still, for those virgin Theme Hospital folks, this version isn't bad by any means. Or more likely, you'll simply go back and play the PC version. The menu setup is logical enough, so once you start using the purchasing and selecting interface, you'll do OK, but it's not fast and if you've already played the PC version, you'll really pull your hair out with frustration. In the case of Theme Hospital, it's clunky and often times annoying, and the game doesn't support any kind of mouse, which forces players to use thr controller. The game's biggest dilemma is housed in the usually versatile PSX controller. It's the brilliance of Bullfrog's wonderfully sick humor that makes TH such a must-have. Theme Hospital is full of this kind of humor and choice, which makes it different each time you play. Among other things, your reputation will drop immensely and patients will 'know' not to appear at your hospital, and instead begin frequenting a rival hospital. But there are ramifications, as in real life. The great thing is that if you feel evil and dark, you can build your hospital and then maim, injure, or poison your patients - for pure entertainment purposes, of course.
Some have more skills then others, including psychiatric knowledge (at least in the beginning), which helps to build clientele as well as reputation. Of your doctor choices, all of them have good and bad traits, and it's your job to explore their abilities. In the long run, however, the game is deep and well thought out. It's intuitive once you know the logic behind it, but many people might simply look at the blank screen and wonder how and where to begin.
You need to buy everything from plants and chairs to receptions desks, doctors, etc., etc. The interface is set up by means of several menus from which you purchase every little detail in the damn hospital. It's by no means a heavily technical game requiring a career in medicine, but gamers will want to see how to built, buy, and compete in a productive and efficient way, and that takes a little learning. If not, it's recommended that beginners give heed to reading the manual. If you've played Theme Park, you'll immediately know what fun you're in for. On the other hand, as more and more equipment is required, additional plots of land are available for purchase in later maps.Basically, Theme Hospital places you in the position of creating a fully-fledged care center, filled with pharmacies, disgruntled nurses, doctors with bad attitudes, and competition from other hospitals. At the same time, the hospital can't run without handymen cruising around the hospital to water up dry plants, clean up litter and vomit (after all, people go there because they are sick) and fix machines, while receptionists direct patients to the proper rooms.Īs levels advance, the player faces increasingly harder situations: VIP visits, emergencies, epidemics and earthquakes, which can either take a toll on reputation or on the bank account. Most diagnostic and clinics can work with regular doctors, but others like the operating theater and the research room require specialized staff while the ward, pharmacy and the fracture clinic require an attending nurse. In addition to rooms, the player must provide radiators, seating for patients and drink machines. The size and layout of each room can be set by the player, according to the available space. There several additional rooms, such as a staff room for your employees to rest, a toilet so that patients don't have to relieve themselves in the corridors, a research department to get the most advanced diagnostic and treatment technologies and a training room where consultants can teach a thing or two to rookies, making them capable doctors. Theme Hospital is a level-based hospital management simulation where players have to start on an empty building, and then assemble rooms with all kinds of material, from desks and file cabinets for the general diagnosis to the expensive ultra-scanners and x-rays to diagnose such bizarre diseases such as Bloaty Head, Slack Songue or Alien DNA, and treat them with with even more bizarre machines like an Head Inflator or a DNA fixer.
