Nintendo DS Review: Theme Park - Page 2

The lack of real world dollar values also seems a bit ridiculous. Charging $500 for entry into the park and an additional $300 for a drink is completely acceptable here. Consistently hearing from your advisor about raising the French fry prices to $250 shouldn’t make you feel guilty. It’s part of the game.

With the passage of time, games such as Roller Coaster Tycoon have long since surpassed this strategy classic. This is nowhere near as in-depth in terms of visitor AI or ride creation. That said, the term classic isn’t used here for nothing, and this DS version proves Theme Park can still hold its own despite the flaws.

Theme Park is rated E (Everyone) by the ESRB for Alcohol Reference and Comic Mischief. This game can also be found on: GBA, GameCube, Nintendo DS, PC, PS2, PS3, PSP, Wii, Xbox, Xbox 360 and Mobile Phone.
