E3 06: LucasArts go to Thrillville

By Guy Cocker, GameSpot UKPosted May 9, 2006 10:37 am PT

Theme park creator will launch on PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and Xbox in Q3 2006.

LOS ANGELES--LucasArts has announced that Thrillville will be shown at this year's E3. The theme park creator will be released on the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and Xbox in Q3 2006, and is being developed by acclaimed British outfit Frontier Developments.

The game offers a fully interactive and customizable amusement park in which you can build and ride roller coasters and more than 100 other attractions. You also have to take care of park guests, but you'll be able to unwind with dozens of minigames.

LucasArts promises that Thrillville's building model will be able to use with console controllers. The 75-plus rides include sedate carnival rides all the way up to wooden, corkscrew, and inverted roller coasters. There'll also be go-kart tracks, mini golf, and bumper cars that you can design and then play in four-player party games. You can explore the whole park on foot and chat with visitors to gauge how much they like your park.

The game is on course for a Q3 2006 release and will be shown at this year's E3 in LA, which starts tomorrow.

    LucasArt's lineup is a bloody joke. I still expect the to jump and say GOTCHA and show us the next game in the Jedi Knight series.

    Well, it's by the RCT3 developers, so it probably will be RCT-ish.

    Don't expect a KOTOR3 until next year - NWN2 hasn't come out yet, and KOTOR3 will probably use that engine (much like KOTOR 1 and 2 used the original NWN engine)

    Well sounds a bit like Theme Park or RollerCoaster Tycoon... but I'll keep an eye on it nonetheless.

    I thought Lucasart was going to announce Knight of the Old Republic 3 at E3 2006 but I guess not.

    I was being sarcastic. The LucasArts lineup is the worst I've ever seen from the company. Period.

    This by the same developers that did RollerCoaster Tycoon 3. Oh and to the guy that said "thanks for the 360 love" - there is no 360 version of this - it's PSP, Xbox and PS2. This should have been on 360 as well, as I love theme park sims.

    Sounds like my type of game. Theme Park is one of my favorites so I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing more about Thrillville.

    Thanks, again, for the 360 love, LucasArts. Where are the Star Wars games????????

    Doesn't really sound like a LucasArts game, even if they are just publishing.
