Keeping it clean and ensuring patients have places to eat and drink is also absolutely vital. You’ll cure these diseases with some equally mental procedures, from swapping people’s heads to sending them to a circus (which, of course, cures clowns disease….duh).Īs well as curing patients you also have to channel your inner Alan Sugar and manage your hospital properly, from hiring and firing staff, training them, managing loans, debts and research and of course making your hospital a pleasant place for people to visit by furnishing your hospital throughout. Of course, these aren’t just normal illnesses, these illnesses range from people with saucepans stuck on their heads to cube disease and ‘Light Headedness’’, which is literally patients with a light bulb for a head which you have to swap out for, well, an actual head. In essence, Two Point Hospital is the same game but with better graphics and more content, exactly what a spiritual sequel should be (Two Point Hospital is not officially a sequel) and I can’t thank Two Point Studios enough for letting me relive those great times playing Theme Hospital in my youth – you could easily have ruined many childhood memories of mine.Īnyway, that’s enough with my own personal hospital simulation love story (no that’s not weird, you’re weird), let’s go into more detail about the game.Īs with Theme Hospital, the aim of the game (as is the aim in any hospital) is to cure patients of their illnesses. When you get around to actually starting the game it will hit even harder – the reception desk is the same, the way you drag the rooms out and a blueprint appears is still the same, you still have to furnish each room with the required items (even the required items for each room are the same) and what really tipped me over the edge was the tannoy, they still use-as far as I can tell-the exact same voice lines as the original and even the same voice – I’m not going to lie, it almost brought tears of joy to my eyes. When you first start up Two Point Hospital you’ll be hit with an instant dose of nostalgia the same animated characters appear and even the menus feel similar. When you first start up Two Point Hospital you’ll be hit with an instant dose of nostalgia This is down to the fact that previous Bullfrog employees and creators of the original Theme Hospital game-Mark Webley and Gary Carr-are at the helm of Two Point Studios.
The way Two Point Studios have stuck to the script and have not deviated far from what made Theme Hospital so great is to be applauded, of course there are new parts to the game such as improved graphics, new items and new illnesses, but these are things that you would expect from a spiritual sequel, unlike what the developers did with what was tipped to be Dungeon Keeper 3.
