Product Description

Platform: PlayStation2

Thrillville: Off the Rails lives up to its name with 20 death-defying rides so outrageous they inspire the same word from every park visitor who sees them: "WHOA!" Players build these incredible "WHOA Coasters" to leap from one track to another launch through the air like cannonballs blast through burning rings of fire and more. A new lighthearted story ties together more than 100 missions complete with 34 playable multiplayer theme-park games and improved social interaction with park guests. The in-depth conversations both advance the plot and suggest better ways to manage the park. But is every guest to be trusted? One never knows when a rival from the nefarious Globo-Joy might attempt to sabotage Thrillville parks with deceptive information...

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Fun Game for Kids and Adults!, December 21, 2007

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Thrillville: Off the Rails (Video Game)

I picked up this game several weeks ago for my 8 year old son and he loves it! You have several parks to roam around in and explore. You can interact with your guests and find out what they like about your park, what you need, what you need to improve on, etc. You can build rides, coasters, go cart tracks, install carnival games, set up concession stands and lots more. Along with installing the rides and games, you can also ride your own rides and play your own games inside the park. As the manager of the park you'll need to hire a staff of workers. This will include groundkeepers, entertainers (cheerleaders), and mechanics. This game also has a "Party Mode" which allows you to play tons of mini games if you don't won't to go to the amusement park. I picked this game up for my son but I love it as much as he does. For the money and entertaniment value, you won't go wrong with this game.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun for everyone, December 28, 2007

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Thrillville: Off the Rails (Video Game)

I purchased this game for my 13 yr old for Christmas and he absolutely loves it. His 10 yr old cousin loves it too and has asked her mother to purchase it for her. I have watched him play it and I am thoroughly entertained myself. You can interact with the patrons of the park, ride the rides, play games, train the employees and build your own rides. You are manager of the park and are in charge of everything. One of the nicest features is that up to four people can play at one time. If you have played and enjoyed any of the roller coaster tycoon games, you'll love this variation for PS2. I highly recommend it for anyone in the family. It's well worth the price!

3.0 out of 5 stars Basically the first with 14 new minigames., March 8, 2009

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Thrillville: Off the Rails (Video Game)

This game's fun factor is worth 5 stars but overall it deserves only 3.This game has all the minigames from the first with 14 extra ones thrown in.
MINIGAMES:
The minigames are were this game shines.Each one has specific controls and different elements.There are racing games,FPS games, side-scrolling adventures, bumper cars, trampolines, minigames, and other misc. games.
GRAPHICS:
Nothing spectacular.Rides and minigames are detailed but people look pretty bland.
GAMEPLAY:
The game's controls are good and it's easy to build rides and navigate through your data.Hire mechanics, janitors, and entertainers to do their jobs around your park.Play or ride whatever you build in your park.Talk to guests in your park to get their opinions and their needs.
ALL-IN-ALL:
Minigames aren't worth it if you have the first.Don't buy this if you don't enjoy games for younger audiences.But if you dont apply to either of the above get this game.
