Product Description
-------------------
Theme Park World s to deliver a complete amusement-park
experience. Players can build the coaster of their dreams, then
ride it from a first-person perspective. From the same
perspective, explore eight environments across four themes: Lost
World, Halloween World, Space Zone and Wonder Land. There are
hidden mini-games to discover, a new physics system and complete
weather systems. Of course, you don't want to have all of the
fun; watch how visitors react (both ecstatic and wobbly) to your
rides. The 3-D characters are enhanced by a new skeletal
animation system, complete with full facial animations. The
interface was designed specifically for the Dual Shock 2
controller, and an interactive help system is there to help you
get, uh, rolling.
.co.uk Review
-------------
Ever fancied being the owner of an Alton Towers or Disney World
from the comfort of your own home? Well here's your chance thanks
to those wonderful people at BullFrog software and the
PlayStation 2.
Based on the PC title of the same name, the 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 3D, 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 for that impression of being there.
Successful park management results in golden tickets being
awarded. Collect enough tickets and the player can progress to
bigger and more challenging themed parks, each of which presents
its own 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 the consoles, Theme
Park World holds bags of promise and is a worthwhile investment
for the more thoughtful PS2 owner.
