$30 for a poorly done port of a 1994 game, you're better off being stabbed in the face, yes, in the face.
User Rating: 3.5 | Theme Park DS
First off if you like tycoon and simulation style games, do not buy Theme Park, it does not hold up to today's standards if you have the least bit of standard for today's modern gaming. I'm sure there is some sort of nostalgia here, but the the DS is not short of old-school gaming, so players will likely be better off picking up any number of other titles if they need that "Oh I remember this game" feeling. Theme Park was picked up on a whim and there was nothing here to hold my attention or entertain me. This may all sound like personal preference, well it is...a preference for fun, a desire for a game that should hold up to today's standards, Theme Park fails in every regard. "But Theme Park was made back in 1994, it's not going to be like today's games." Then it should have remained a distant memory to those who enjoyed it back when Stupid is as Stupid does was an actual catch phrase. The graphics are retro in the sense they are just poor and blown out of proportion for the DS's screen. The controls are inane making players not only click on something, but to then circle it as well in a redundant fashion thanks to the need for touch controls. The sound is ''meh'' at best with some sometimes catchy music.
All that aside this should have been a budget title, not a $30 fully priced game. $9.99 would have made the dated...everything...almost acceptable, but it wasn't and it's not. Avoid Theme Park unless you have exhausted all resources in stabbing yourself in the face, yes, in the face.
