★★★☆☆

Not as good as other Kairosoft games I've played. Research points & money add up too slowly, and without a fast speed option I got too bored to get through the first playthrough. The gameplay ends up something like, build/research/do a class... then stare at the characters doing their own thing, wait, wait, wait, and wait some more. Graphics are cute though, and the basic idea is interesting - just needs better timing mechanics.

I love this game. im on year 20 and still cant stop playing it. I love that its not just buy buy buy. its a strategic game if you really think about it. you have to manage your money well, know when and when not to level up teachers as their salary goes up. you also have to be careful of the facility upkeep so you dont go negative. For me i simply bought what i had to for the firt year or two so i have enough profit to continue buying extra facilities. All in all, this is my favorite game

★★☆☆☆

The beginning of the game is very badly balanced. The tutorial is pretty bad, and it is easy to end up in a situation where you are stuck in perpetual debt. Once you are out of the early stages of the game (or after restarting, after learning the pitfalls), it isn't *as* bad, but it's just a poor design choice on Kairosoft's part. This is definitely not a good introductory game to Kairosoft games, and even if it isn't your first game with them it's not the best. :(

I love this game and have been playing Kairosoft games for years. I just wish that a "fast" and "normal" speed button was added to the top right of the screen for every game. You guys have it for Cafe Nippon and I wish that was there for every game, instead for having to go through the settings every time. Keep up the great games guys!
