Theme Park
Reviewed by Jeremy Peeples
Theme Park was released for the Sony Playstation in late
1995, it is a port of the PC classic of the ame name. This
is a Sim City-like game in which you build you own theme park .
Graphics-4/10- They are bland, but they serve their purpose
just fine, some of the rides look great with a fair amount
of detail and color, the human graphics are very plain and
blocky, the developers added a first-person mode to this
version of the game, it allows you to expore you park in 3D,
it's a great idea, and for the most part, comes off great in
execution, the only downside to it (other than blockiness) is
the lack of patrons when you look at you park in this mode.
Overall, the graphics are one of the worst features of the
game, but in a game like this, graphics aren't what matter.
Sound-2/10- The music is terrible, it's very repetitive and
annoying, the same song plays throughout the game, the sound
effects are decent, they are clear and match the situation.
Overall, horrible, the only good part is the sound effects.
Story-6/10- You attempt to build your own theme park and
make it the best in the world, if you don't achieve success
you go bankrupt and the game ends. It's straightforward and
to the point, all that's needed in this type of game.
Control-7/10- This game is meant to be played with a mouse,
the control is excellent considering it wasn't made for a
controller, but it's not as good as the mouse. It's not too
major, the default control setup is great.
Presentation-4/10- The presentation is as basic as they
come, it's pretty cut and dry. Much like graphics and sound,
it isn't too major for a game of this nature, gameplay is
what matters most.
Gameplay-10/10- You can build your own theme park from the
ground up, you can customize everything in it, from the
number of employees to the salt content of the fries. You
can also adjust ticket prices and salaries. You decide where
to put the rides, the workers, the bathrooms, the arcades,
to put it simply, you control where everything can go and
what surrounds it.
Replay Value-10/10- This game has limitless replay value,
you can build any theme park you want, you customize
everything about it, as I mentioned above, you can literally
do anything you ever dreamed of with this game. Overall,
excellent, you'll never get bored.
Overall-8/10- This game is excellent, it's timeless, you can
play this game forever and not get bored, as you can
probably tell, I'm a huge fan of the game, the graphics and
sound are bad, but gameplay is the most important factor in
any game, maybe moreso in this one because of the lack of
great visuals, in the end, the gameplay is what matters most.
