Everybody enjoys going to the amusement park! How about designing and owning your own theme park? In Sim Theme Park this can become somewhat of a reality. Imagine creating a wild roller coaster ride or adding sideshows and food stands. All of this in one great PlayStation game!

There are really no limits to your imagination, so create some of the wackiest rides and test them out, hire staff and don't forget to place bathrooms strategically around your park. You must keep the customers happy.

Now it's not all fun and games. You are now a financier and nothing is free, you must spend money to make money. Keep a close eye on the Balance sheet if you want to become the next Walt Disney and own the best them park in the world. There is a lot to learn so head off to the Practice Park and test out some of your ideas before actually putting them into action. Once you have a plan, move on to the Main Game where it must all come together. Good Luck! Remember you are in charge, THE BOSS!

Once into the Main Game there are eight worlds starting with the Lost Kingdom. As you gain experience and earn what is needed you will gain access to other worlds. OK, the park is complete. Open the gates and let the public in. Let's see if your area is as big a success as you thought it would be!

Note: This game was tested by my 7 year-old and a 17 year-old - both found the game enjoyable and found things that kept their attention and interest. I believe this title would be enjoyable for all ages. This was easy to tell by the fighting of whose turn it was to use the game next. But it also brought them together when each needed help. Even the youngest picked up tips he could teach his older brother. It was nice to have a game they could both play at the same level of understanding.
