Even though there are the 4 speed options to control how time passes in game, it is no help. It is a good idea to stop time when you turn the DS off so that you don't return to a disaster in a few hours. You can set your own prices for the adult fish, but if you exceed the 'suggested price' then no one buys them. This is a shame because if you could get the customers to buy the fish at your own prices then your tank might have a chance of survival.
The additional fish tanks, decorations, plants, fish eggs, fish food, and medicines to enhance the aesthetic of your tank would be a nice touch if you could actually use them. The game has too harsh of a business model to be fun for kids, and the frustration level is most likely too frustrating to entertain adults who enjoy their fish screen saver on the PC. The PC demo of this game wasn't nearly as hard.
Fish Tycoon for the Nintendo DS is rated E for Everyone and it seems as though it is part of trend of flash games for "casual gamers" being slapped on tho the DS without much thought to the game play. Considerable amount of hours, and attention is needed to raise the fish, and instead of being a satisfying and fun experience where you acquire cash and decorate your tank, it leaves you hanging out to dry. Animal Crossing is an example of a game the continues on in real time where the game play is rewarding instead of the way that in Fish Tycoon you find yourself having anxiety. I give Fish Tycoon a sad 5 dead fish out of 10.
