Theme Park World (PC)

...hearts out, creating your own theme park is a whole lot cheaper, and loads more fun. Okay, well for adrenalin rush junkies it's perhaps not more fun, but it sure is enjoyable all the same. Theme Park World gives you the chance to build your own amusement park in four different themed lands. Entry to the various lands is gained with a certain number of golden keys, one of which you are given to start you off. One key allows you access to the Magic ...
...does have it's faults... Theme Park World, from Bullfrog, followed on some 5 years after the original version (Theme Park) was released in 1994. Although general game play has been taken to a new level of enjoyment and excitement with the different themed lands and new rides, the rest hasn't advanced so well. The animations are still very cartoon like, close up viewing still painfully poor, and the visuals can appear blurred and blocky. The game ...

I was given Theme Park as a birthday present, after many happy hours playing Theme Hospital and expected to love playing this game. I installed it easily enough on the computer, read the booklet, then began to play. However, I seemed to get stuck in the same place every time I tried to play it. I could build and position the first ride, then I seemed to grind to a halt and I wasn't sure what to do next. I consider myself to be quite computer literate ...
...The CD-ROM computer game, Theme Park, was made by Bullfrog in 1994. The graphics are very good and it looks like it could be an absorbing and quite addictive game, if you have the patience to pursue it. The game comes with a New Business Portfolio, which is actually a detailed booklet about the game. The aim is to make your theme park the best and you receive a statement which rates yours against 40 others in six different categories - Richest Owner, ...

Only one park is available at the start, ...

Well, you are pretty much imagining what it is like to play Theme Park World. I am not going to go into all the details of when, where and how the idea came up but it is here and it is fab! In the beginning (no, this is not an excerpt from the bible but it could well be the TPW bible!) there are four parks. You can only ...

These people (all kids) arrive by bus, boat and plane and pay for their entrance fee at the gate. Once they are inside the park they are at ...

...nice, solid and improved original, Theme Park World was a bit of a let down, it didn’t have the addictive pull of the original game so Bullfrog are at it again with Theme Park Inc. The clue is in the title. This game is far more business orientated than TPW and the original come to that. You now don’t just build a park, improve it, make money and get bored. You start off as assistant manager and must climb to the top to take over as president ...

Engineers can be trained to upgrade rides or master the art of stone masonary, and cleaners can put out fires or clean rubble, these skills are sometimes needed to complete a certain objective, this is a welcome addition to the game because TPW just left staff as they were. As ever the staff will demand wage rises and this can become tedious because you need to go through each one ...

Bullfrog became very famous for their original game and after the game had appeared on various platforms it was decided that an update was well overdue. So what did we get? Theme Park World, that’s what. All the principles from the original game are there, you build a park, employ staff, research rides etc but many elements of the original have been updated. Visuals: ...

I think this actually works quite well but in a way it’s more realistic to have different themes within the park as opposed to a whole park with just one theme. It doesn’t matter though as each of the five parks are quite different and this also means that there is a much larger selection of rides available. You can’t just jump in anywhere either, ...

You have been given the job of a manager at a theme park, and have certain targets to meet. If you manage this, you expand into more of the park.

Theme Park World is the 3D sequel to the popular classic, Theme Park. The idea of the game is to maneage your very own theme park by building rides, shops and various other attractions to keep the visitors (little people) as happy as possible. Theme Park World has very good graphics, especially compared to the first version, and the rides and shops look excellent in 3D. You link all your rides and attractions up by building paths and special walkways ...
...all this game is a massive improvement on the previous version, and as it is very easy to install to your PC, it is well worth paying around £20-£25 for. I would recommend the game to all children and any adults that really enjoy a trip to the theme park! ...

If you make the rides you build too exciting, the kids will throw up on vacating, meaning more ...

If you played the original Theme Park to death, you probably won't get too much out of this. But, if like me you never had the chance to really play the original, then you'll love this game. The premise is simple; build a theme park, get people to come to it, and make lots of money. There is no way of "winning" the game as such, which is a bit of a downer; in, for example, Theme Hospital, you had specific win criteria for each level, like making ...
...and look different. All in all, it's a good game, but they could have made it co much better. If you never played the original Theme Park, then you'll love this, but if you did, then you'll just be amazed by how little improvement there is in this game. ...

Theme Park World was cheap in the sales at only £9.99 and as I had already purchased all the other Theme titles, and thoroughly enjoyed them, I felt that this was a bargain. The game is much like the original Theme Park, an absolute best seller in 1994, with the aim of building a park, making lots of money and then making a better park. This is basically the aim behind its sequel as well. Theme Park World is nothing special- it doesn’t break ...
...also basically has the same interface as it’s predecessor just given a new, more cartoon look, as would any game with the advancement in modern day computer graphics. There are four worlds in which to build your park each costing more ‘Keys’ than the one before- ‘keys’ are won while building a park on the easier worlds. This is the first let down of the game (for me anyway), there is only four worlds which limits your ...
