Theme Park World (PS2)

Theme Park World for the PS2 was released into the UK in May 2002.

But does it cut the mustard? *** Getting started *** What attracts me to PS2 games is the fact that nothing has to be installed. You just put the game in and off you go.

Theme Park World is brought to you by EA and Bullfrog, both companies have had successful titles such as the original Theme Park, and the EA Sports Series. Theme Park World is the third instalment in the "theme" series following on from Theme Park and Theme Hospital. Theme Park World is currently available for both the PC and the PSONE but as expected the PS2 version features superior graphics than either version.

This game is an absolutely brilliant game and is a must for anyone that likes simulations. Having originally owned the Playstation version of Theme Park World I was unsure whether or not I should buy the game for the playstation 2. After viewing screen shots etc. I decided to buy the game and have not regretted it at all. The graphics have been updated and the gameplay is much smoother.
