The first time I ever played Theme Park was on my Amiga, it was an absolutely brilliant game where you had to build your own theme park and manage it. Obviously the same goes for Theme Park World...

At the beginning you first see video clips as an introduction like with most games. I personally find these boring so you can ...  Read the complete review

Bullfrog became very famous for their original game and after the game had appeared on various platforms it was decided that an update was well overdue. So what did we get? Theme Park World, that’s what. All the principles from the original game are there, you build a park, employ staff, research rides etc but many elements of the original have been updated. Visuals: Sequels that are a year apart can be completely different in the graphical department so it ...  Read the complete review
