“Disco simulator is a fine sim that has all the requisite management elements for a solid sim game and even throws in a bit of fun depth with the DJ event system, upgrade trees, and the ability to add in your own tunes to the jukebox, but comes in soft on sound design, graphics, and providing useful information at the end of a dance session.”
“Graphics on the club itself are fine but a little underwhelming on the people.”
