The hardest difficulty level is dang difficult, and anyone who has completed a game on the most difficult level has certainly earned their achievement for doing so!

Also I honestly prefer Mad TV's graphics and music, at least it had rooms and a lot of characters, here there's only the tower.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I enjoy management sim games (Game Dev Story is a personal favorite, and Rollercoaster Tycoon was one of my old faves), and Empire TV Tycoon seemed like an interesting, novel take, implementing schedules and other wrinkles into the formula.
