Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Ever fancied being the owner of an Alton Towers or Disney World from the comfort of your own home? Well with Theme Park World you can be! The aim of the game is to build your dream park and keep it running, dealing with the day-to-day trials and tribulations of keeping the rides working and the punters happy. Strategy is all important here--place your burger stand too close to a rollercoaster entrance and the riders will stagger off the attraction and become "unwell" all over the floor. Too much salt on your chips and not enough fizzy pop results in parched visitors who vote with their feet and don't come back--this is not a game for those who like action fast and furious and pick up a game for a quick five minutes now and again.

The user interface is a joy to use, making Theme Park World easy to play; in tutorial mode an interesting park advisor pops up to give tips on what needs to happen, where and when. But it's in the rollercoaster design phase that things get interesting. Lay out the track for your ride in full 3-D, then alter it in differing ways to produce a killer ride: corners can be banked, straights raised and lowered and sections can be added and removed to create the kind of white-knuckle ride Walt and Mickey would be proud of. Then, using the game's first-person mode, check it out from the front seat to get the impression of being there.

Successful park management results in golden tickets being awarded. Collect enough tickets and you can progress to bigger theme parks, each of which presents a unique challenge. The long-term attraction of this game is doubtful, and only significant playing will reveal whether the whole procedure will become a little samey, but for a break from the traditional arcade-style fare usually associated with consoles, Theme Park World holds bags of promise and is a worthwhile investment. --Isabelle Thomas

4.0 out of 5 stars Great game!, 9 Dec 2004
If you have played the new RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 then you will find that ideas have been taken from this game.

This game was released in 1999 and in my opinion I thought the graphics were fantastic, others don't seem to agree. This game has 3D-graphics and they are truly good, 3D acceleration had only just really been brought in to graphics!!! I disagree with other reviewers and I think the gameplay is fast, I only have a 500 MHZ processor and in todays standards thats terrible but back then it was super-fast!!! Minumum processor speed for this game is only 200 MHZ do I don't know how it is slow on anybodys computer!

This game was rivals with the original RollerCoaster Tycoon which was released that same year, in graphics this game beat it but not in all of the gameplay. Gameplay as I have said is fast but you only get 4 parks, apposed to 20 or so. But each park in this game is unique and I think thats really cool. There is:
Lost Kingdom
Halloween World - My favourite!!!
Wonderland
Space Zone

The first parks are unlocked for you, Lost Kingdom and Halloween World, but you have to get 3 keys to unlock Wonderland and 5 for Space Zone (Please Note: 3 golden tickets=1 key).

You can ride the rides!! That is the idea Frontier took when making RTC3!!! In ways the graphics are similar too.

I don't really like the Sold-out-sales stock because I think the cover is rubbish and every time you want to play the game the installer pops-up even when it is installed!

1 year later in 2000 Theme Park Inc was released, the sequel to Theme Park World and the last in designer series of Bullfrog's games and their last game ever for PC. Sadly EA shut Bullfrog down mid-time 2004! This is why you MUST buy this game.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, 31 Jul 2003
This game has its ups and its downs. It is mainly trying to copy Rollercoaster Tycoon with a few enhancements. It allows you to do the bog-standard things like hire staff and build buildings, and rollercoasters are amazing easy to build. Then the best thing about theme parks, going in on all the rides. You get to preview the park and actually do on all the rides that you have just built. By previewing the park I mean that you get to walk around it with your cursor buttons.
It runs fine with my computer and my computer is 700Mz P4 128MB.
Although this game is good it does not quite beat Rollercoaster Tycoon. Close though.

4.0 out of 5 stars Theme Park World, 9 Jun 2003
Ok. So you want to bye theme park world. you have made the right choice. because:
The cartoons are fun even though the black blob (the thing that tells you what to do) is annoying.
The different islands are challenging but worth while, it keeps you going for ages.
There are two different options arcade, which is a one off park, or full simulation, which is the full game.
And of course the fun part where you can go on the rides you have built.
overall i think this is a great game and deffinetly worth considering, especailly with this price tag!!!!
