Neat Game
Date of Review: Apr 17, 2000
I had seen this game at a store and since I like roller coasters and parks I thought this would be a cool game to get and play. I saw commercials on t.v. for "Roller Coaster Tycoon", but since I had heard more good things about Sim I decided to get this game. I have played a few other Sim games before and this one is pretty good.
I like the way how you can build rides, put concession stands, games, stores, and different items in the park where ever you want as long as you don't run out of room. In which you have to use some of your money to buy more land, which can add up quickly. At first when I had started playing the game I thought that there was a lot of room to build your park, but after a few hours to get the hang of things I wish they started with a bit more land to build on.
This is the first "Sim" game that I have bought myself and have enjoyed it so far, you can hire employees easily and let them go, set their areas where they should stay, and move them around some too.
You can also see what your visitors think of your park by pushing the spacebar in which it will bring up a screen that shows your whole park and you can click on the little dots (which are the people and your employees, and you can have them distinguish the certain types of employees by clicking on the right hand side where it shows your employee buttons) and you can also see on this screen which places bring the most happiness. And it also shows the ride's level of upkeep by them changing colors on that screen too.
I think this is a pretty good game, but it kind of lags at times which is one part I don't like about it. Other than that the 4 parks that are available to build on after getting so many keys are pretty good. It has cool graphics and I would recommend this to people who like simulation games and also theme parks.
