Theme park is one of my all time greats and is really enjoyable and fun to play. I originally had the PC version and find that this is easier to use rather than the PC version as the use of the PC mouse is quicker at accessing menu screens and selecting items on screen.

The purpose of the game is to build a successful theme park whilst trying to gain certain award e.g cleanest park. There are a few bits of humour thrown in there, for example if you create a path and then remove it guests start to get lost.

There are many different rides and shops and attractions to build and have full control over what prices are set. My tip for success is building the biggest rollercoaster's and have many shops, toilets and nice gardens for your quests to relax in.

some frustrating part of the game is that rides would break down and would require repairmen to come and fix them but you had to hire them first. Also when it rained you could up the price of umbrellas in your park to make loads of money just because it rained.

Another tip which might be useful was to put lots of salt on your chips which then made your guests go and buy a drink which bumped up your profits for the day.

The game is developed by bullfrog and there are other games like this one - Theme Hospital which is also a classic simulation game.

To sum this game up it's a rollercoaster ride from start to end. Fabulous game!

Summary: Great first game and very addictable
