Is your dream, riding the biggest roller coaster without throwing your guts up? Come and give this a go.
You start by picking your park you wish to start in, your given a story about being this young up and coming theme park manager and away you go. Each section of the park has themes to it, driving, space, western etc
Your ride will vary from section to section but to begin with your in the driving section with plenty to do and see. You can interact with anyone from which you can gain sub-missions, give them gifts and get feedback. You've got to keep the people happy with the biggest and baddest rides (although some will complain about the fear-factor), the sections have places where you can build your rides, rollercoasters and other buildings that you'll need, toilets, food, drinks, souvenirs. Once placed you can trick-it-out and change the colours or change the theme of the ride. There's a clever interaction system that will tell you what going on around your park and how every person is feeling. You'll need to hire some staff to cleanup, entertain and occasionally do promotions for you. Its like playing Sim City at ground level.
Overall the games plays well and there's so much to do you'll be spending hours keeping everyone happy and earning some cash. However the graphics are not as detailed as you've have hoped, the motion sickness can certainly affect you once you've gone on a few rides so do spend all day on them. The sound effects and music emanate the exact atmosphere of being at the fair with people screaming, people stopping and talking to each other and 100s of screaming kids running around.
Anyone can play this game, just build, ride and enjoy the festival.
