Roller Coaster Tycoon Killer!!
Date of Review: Jan 22, 2000
Sim games have been known to be very fun and have grown in popularity over the years. The First sim game I ever played was Sim 2000. I was instantly hooked. I could play that game for at least 2 hours a time. It was challenging at first but then it got really easy to handle and you could build a really big town. Then later the sim game division expanded and they started making different games. Maxis and other companies decided to try Theme Park building. The games were a big success so more games of that type started coming out.
Then about 6 months ago Roller Coaster Tycoon was released. It took the place of Theme Park as the top theme park game. Well, Maxis couldn?t lose this battle so they came out with Sim Theme Park. Sim Theme Park has now taken over the top spot, and there?s good reason for it to be number 1. The amount of detail that was put into the game is unbelievable. There?s so many great features that the other theme park games just don?t provide.
The one feature that stands out in Sim Theme Park is the ability to ride the rides that you build. No other them park game has this feature and it?s really exhilarating to be able to ride the roller coaster YOU built. J The game provides hours of fun and the different settings in Halloween, Dinosaur, and Outer Space land are cool because they have different rides in each world. The only problem is once you?ve played a land once you know what to do and you know all the rides and what to do, so the game after a while gets repetitive. The one thing that stands out on Sim Theme Park is that it interacts with the online world. You can go online and look at and purchase theme parks!!! Isn?t that out of this world!! It?s a lot fun looking at theme parks other people built, and then purchasing them.
The game is geared toward the younger audience, but I see no reason why a grown adult cannot have any fun with this game. I think the games for all ages and it?s a blast. Any person who has loved the original theme park or roller coaster tycoon HAS to pick up this game. It?s a must have for the die-hard sim player.
