Summary: Don't waste your money on this game
Review: This game is frustrating, not intuitive and very boring after just a short time playing it. I learn programs and games very quickly, and I still cannot figure out how to rotate rides (I'm not sure you can!). Plus, it does not run on my new operating system, Windows XP.

There are not that many rides to choose from, the graphics are distorted, the staff is useless (janitors will just stand around even when there is stuff to do right in front of them--no matter how much training you give them), the monetary system is bizarre, and that ant guy makes you crazy.

If you want a good theme park simulation game, buy Rollercoaster Tycoon I or II. These are excellent games with more realistic graphics and more intuitive gameplay. You'll never get tired of them. Zoo Tycoon is not a themepark, but is another excellent simulation game.

Sim Theme Park is a huge waste of money. I'm selling mine.

Review: I really liked this game. The shipping was super fast also. I wish there were more options for parks, but it's lots of fun if you like the old bullfrog theme games!

Review: I LOVED Theme Park and Theme Hospital, RCT is the best Sim game around so I had high hopes that Theme Park World (as its called in the UK) would go one step further.

Basically this is a kiddies game. Its NOTHING like Theme Park and your very limited to what you can do. There are fun rides and the best part is walking round the park and going on your rides but you dont have the same amount of control as in RCT.

Its nice to look at (although I didn't like the 3D style) and you need a good spec machine otherwise expect jerkovision (or if you build too many rides). Theres only 4 parks/scenarios! unlike RCT where there are loads plus an add on pack). My nephew liked taking pictures of the park and emailing them but it has taken a whole new view point into Sim games. This isn't a true Sim game - I think we need a bit of going back to basics here and seeing what makes a Sim game. Just look at Theme Hospital and RCT. It also loses marks for having the only online help assistant who is more annoying then the MS-Office Paperclip one! (Luckily you can turn him off!)

I stopped playing it after a week. So will true Sim Fans. Bring on another RCT add on pack!

Summary: An awful, awful game
Review: At first, the game looks interesting. I thought,"Wow, looks like another neat game from maxis." I already have simtower and simcopter, so I was looking forward to the next one. But when I played it, I thought Maxis had flipped, for 3 reasons:

1.) The graphics are horrible.
2.) The humor is stupid and childish.
3.) There's no freedom and this little guy won't leave me alone.

Take my word for it, this game is for the birds.

Summary: Good, but no RCT
Review: Sim Theme Park is Bullfrogs answer to the crown that was stolen from them by Roller Coaster Tycoon ( Bullfrog made the FIRST theme park developer game Theme Park) and comes close but falls short in many ways. First the good stuff, STP has a fantastic graphic engine which makes the rides look fantastic. The ability to ride the rides you make and walk through your park is a major plus. But, the bad part is that the game lacks depth. Beat the first park and the game is basicly over, you get 3 new parks but there just the same rides with diffrent looks. The game requires a 3D card and some hefty space on your computer to run some what smoothly. If your looking for a great game, with more options and fun, that can run on your computer no matter what go with Roller Coaster Tycoon and youll be hooked and love every minute of it. By the way, dont pay 40 bucks for it either, id sell my copy of it, without the box, just instructions and game for 20 or less. Only get this if your a diehard theme park fan or are looking for a couple hours of graphic bliss.

Review: I am yet to find an Electronic Arts game that does not provide me with hours of entertainment. However, with all the "Theme Park" simulation games on the web, I advise you to chose the Roller Coaster Tycoon Games.
Why do I advise you to chose the Tycoon games?

*The Roller Coaster Tycoon has better, more realistic, and more playable graphics. Of course if you are one who enjoys the cartoonist preception of the characters, this will be an okay feature. However, I recommend looking for screenshots of this game to see if you like the graphics.

*Sim Theme Park clogs up your computer system much worse than Roller Coaster Tycoon, so unless you have a pretty fast system, be prepared for some freezing, where with Roller Coaster Tycoon you can pretty much play with out annoying slowness.

*Sim Theme Park gets boring fast with its last of great rides, themes.

Don't get me wrong I love simulation games. (They are my ultimate favorite) But I sincerely recommend the Roller Coaster Tyoon Games. They cost less, have better reviews, better graphics (in my opinion) and more rides and themes, and in addition, they don't freeze up your older computer as much as Sim Theme Park.

As with most people reviewing this game, check out the Roller Coaster Tycoon games, I guarentee you cannot be disappoint with them.

Review: Sure it was fun for the first hour then it died. I could never get the kids to stop vandalism. Riding the rollercoasters weren't fun at all. You want a theme park game get Rollercoaster tycoon. Rollercoaster tycoon not Rollercoaster tycoon 2, but I won't get into that. Where can I get a refund....?

Summary: Great Game, But Not The Best
Review: This is a fantastic game, 100% addictive! It's a ton of fun to control a park, and you can get to the tiniest things, (the amount of fat in the burgers, how much ice is in your drinks, and how salty your fries are. You can build rides, research new ones, buy shops and sideshows, and hire staff. It's a lot of fun. There are some problems, though. In all the time I've had the game, I've built ONE rollercoaster, because I can never seem to connect the track. And even if I do finish it, it ends up being SUPER EXPENSIVE!!! Which brings me to money. You start out with a whopping $50,000, but then you lose it! I'm not exactly sure why. One minute you're rolling in dough, the next you have two bucks. Then you take out a loan, but it's impossible to pay them back, especcially with interest! It's really easy to go bankrupt, which is a pain. Graduating to new levels is awesome, but it's pretty hard! Winning your first Golden Ticket is easy, (you need GTs to get Golden Keys so you can open new parks), and so is your second one, but after that, it's very difficult. The advisor is really annoying, but unfortunately there's no way around that. He just keeps repeating things over and over and over and over and over and... you get the point. Overall, even though it could do with some touching up, the game is a ton of fun. And it's cool to have such total control over your Theme Park!!
