Another average game that takes advantage of the fact it's main buyers won't know any better...
User Rating: 5 | Thrillville: Off the Rails X360
Of the few Rollercoaster Park simulator games I've played Thrillville is one of my favorite, but I'm not surprised the sequel didn't live up to the hype. I'll just go ahead and say it, this game is bad and there's little fun to be had in Thrillville this time around. The game is about you, a kid that is allowed to run his own amusement park. Sounds fun right? Well lets face it, the only people who are going to enjoy this game are ten year old kids who have never played a real video game before. This is a kids game and that's really all you need to know to make a decision on whether to buy this game or not. They basically manipulate a regular child's poor taste in games and only make it as good as it has to be to impress kids, and that's not very good. Where this game really shines is the game play, although it isn't really the best amusement park simulator I had some fun here. The mini games can be enjoyed by everybody but after an hour you've seen it all and will realize how truly repetitive this game can be. The game sounds great but the music will get incredibly annoying after the first thirty minutes, you'll definitely want to replace it with some of your own, that is if you haven't thrown out the game already. The controls don't seem to respond like they should and the game is only fun in short burst. They have more boring moments in the game than fun ones, seriously what the hell where they thinking? I'd much rather design suicidal rides than talk to guest with poor AI. There are some fun moments here and there but not enough to save you from the horrible repetitive game that is Thrillville: Off the Rails. This game had a lot of potential but it was just so damn boring after the first hour not even little ones would enjoy it, that's why I'm giving it a 5 out of 10. Please just pick up the original Thrillville or wait 'till this is in the bargain bin, trust me you'll thank me later when you wish you never purchased this sorry excuse for a game.
