    [Highly rated reviewer]

    I found this game to be good. It is not childish and has many mini games and rides that you can play,paint and manage so you are not out of pocket and have funds to continue your thrills and gameplay. It has good gameplay once you get into it but it can take an annoyingly long tme to go up levels and stop your achievments coming in the high numbers. But that can be good as it prolongs gameplay and makes it more of a challenge to complete. This is a good game and a good rent.

  • It's all about the minigames

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    The general story line is poor and the mission are very repetitive, however, the arcade classics found within the minigames are immense. They are guaranteed to fill hours of time whilst you reminisce with nostalgia. Definitely worth a quick game and the achievements are easy enough.

  • A Gem For Anyone Who Wants Their Own Theme Park!

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By JustAFanTC (121 reviews) from Leeds , 12 Aug 2009
    I have played games like this for years, Theme Park, Rollercoaster Tycoon, etc and have always spend so much time on them. So when a theme park sim was available for a next generation console I was eager to try it out.

    First of all, say goodbye to your free time, as this will take up quite a bit of it! This is quite a detailed game which did surprise me, as games like this don't seem to be detailed enough, but the vast amount of designs, guests you can talk to, games you can play, rides you can create AND ride, etc is quite astonishing.

    The game play flows easily and so do the controls and it is suprising how quickly your thrown into all aspects of running these theme parks, which is a little daunting, but purely because of the limited time I had to play it.

    Excellent - hope most people jump on the badwagon to bring out more games like this!!

    It's good but repetative, fun to get up your gamerscore points though!

    I Really Did Not Find This Game Fun. Its Just Boring. Graphics And Gameplay Are Really Bad. Trying To Build A Rollercoaster Just Doesn't Work. Would Not Recomended Getting This Game.

    This game is not brilliant but it does occupy your gaming time.

    As a lover of the original Theme Park I had fun with this. It lacks some depth of other 'tycoon' games but there is still plenty on offer to keep you going. The missions for the parks do restrict your freedom somewhat in 'designing' your own park(s) and you're also limited by power management but all in all you can still have fun building (and riding) rollercoasters.

    The most fun comes from the mini-games and arcade games though. There are some real gems and time killers to be found from pool to 2D shooters.

    Worth renting if you like tycoon titles and especially if you enjoy a game that offers lots of varied gameplay.
