    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Hours of fun, pretty cheap

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poor graphics, poor instruction manual

    Alton Towers and Chessington World of Adventures eat your 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 Kingdom and Halloween World. The other two lands - Wonder Land and Space Zone require three ... more

    3 Stars Your Own Personal Alton Towers 17/01/2001
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages good graphics, looks fun

    Disadvantages Disadvantages complicated, seemed to get stuck at one point

    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 and did not expect to have any big problems with it, but even though I managed to get slightly further with it on a couple of occasions, it ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Enjoyable game, fantastic graphics, lots of varying factors

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can get tedious, been done before (many a time)

    Have you ever wanted the opportunity to have control over how a theme park is built and designed, to see what it would be like to make a mockery of your career without it affecting your real-life personal financial income, or just to mess about, scaring the pants off hundreds of people and having to clean up the inevitable visible consequence? I have. And after enjoying the thrills that the original Theme Park brought so many of us some 6 or 7 years ago, I was eager to try my wits against this very much updated and more interesting version of the game. For those of you who don't know already ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good fun - keeps you occupied for hours, days and weeks

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Hard to do anything else! Oh, and the end is a bit disappointing.

    Imagine your favourite ride at the shows. Imagine your favourite theme park. Imagine you were the boss of that theme park. Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? 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 get into two to begin with but by making those parks extra successful you can build up points to proceed to the other ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fun while it lasts

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Dodgy engine

    There's something up in the Bullfrog camp, since Peter Molyneux left to set up Lionhead and work on one of the most ambitious games of all time, Black & White, the team have only released sequels to games that he devised. While Dungeon Keeper 2 was a 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 ... more

    3 Stars How irritating is this game 19/08/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages the game was good for young players

    Disadvantages Disadvantages the graphics are a bit poor, it was quite hard for me to keep out of the debt.

    We have recently bought the game Theme Park world for the PC, by E A. I heard that the other games like this are quite good, so I thought I would give this game ago. As you do. FEATURES OF THE GAME · Build - plan and place rides, shops, side-shows and other features to how you want them · Visit –Check the park out in realistic 1st person mode · Ride –Experience your fantastic creations in person · Employ -Front line staff, and you can even fire them if they are not up to the job · Adjust –Tweak the performance of your rides and shows · Research –Bring the professors in ... more

    4 Stars Cheaper than the real thing 20/08/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great update to a classic title

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Gets slow when the park is full

    ‘Sim’ games have become incredibly popular over the years thanks to the likes of Sim City, The Sims, Theme Hospital and the most famous of them all Theme Park. 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: Sequels that are a year apart can be completely ... more

    5 Stars Walk around your creation 25/11/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good graphics, quite addictive and you can walk round the park!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The adviser can get annoying!

    Do you like a challenge? Do you like power? If so, you will love Theme Park Inc. This is one of the variants in the long-standing popular computer game, Theme Park. 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. I previously had the original CD version of Theme Park. But when it didn’t work on my new computer I decided to “treat” myself to the latest offering. The Inc. version looked excellent, with improved scope for customising your park, such as an excellent roller coaster editor, and better ... more

    4 Stars Dont I know you from somewhere 10/02/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good Graphics

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Presentation

    I bought this game when it first game out on the PC mainly because around 5 years ago I had the original on Amiga and found that completely additive. Unless you have completely been living in a closet for 5 years you will all know what the original game was about - basically the task is to build a theme park (hence the name) and try to make it as profitable as possible. This is the second in that seris of games and the graphics have now become 3D. The game itself can be frustrating at times especially with that annoying advisor in the corner shouting orders at you every five minutes - good job ... more

    5 Stars 3D Theme Park 15/07/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fantastic 3D graphics

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    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 where your little visitors can queue up for their favourite rides. These pathways can be decorated by placing some fantastic outdoor garden ... more
