Theme Hospital takes the serious business of healthcare and turns it into one of the funniest management simulations ever made. Instead of simply treating ordinary illnesses, you run a hospital filled with bizarre diseases, eccentric staff and patients who seem determined to make your job harder. You must build rooms, hire doctors and nurses, manage finances, research treatments and keep the hospital functioning while increasingly ridiculous medical problems appear. The humor is everywhere, from the announcements to the diseases themselves, yet the management side remains surprisingly deep. Poor planning can leave you with overcrowded wards, unhappy staff and a bank account that looks like a medical emergency of its own. Theme Hospital works because it balances silliness with genuinely enjoyable strategy. Running a hospital has never been so entertaining, largely because the patients are fictional and therefore cannot actually sue you.
