Sim Theme Park

"A game with bad graphics..."

INTRODUCTION
Sim Theme Park, produced by Electronic Arts and it’s a game well known for its strategy and building type game. It requires intelligence and it’s definitely not for adventure-type game lovers. You’ll just be the boss and plan all you need to make the place look the best and get money for it.

GAMEPLAY 4/10
Well, this game is a type of strategy and strategy is not that popular. Trust me, you will be at the same park throughout the game and takes hours to win one single place. It definitely makes the player bored because one, you’ll be pissed off with the same kind of looking environment. Two, it is not planned properly and players often like surprises and new achievements. Finally, there’s one helper that will help you throughout the game, but well, this is a good thing but the bad thing is that he keeps on saying things that are mentioned, like example he said that we need to do something quick and few minutes later he’ll say the same thing again. These things can really make people feel bored and you’ll not have fun any longer.

The controls are not that obvious, because you’ll only control the camera angles. I got to say, when hiring guards or janitors, you really can’t control them. Controlling the camera angle is not the problem, but controlling your employees is another reason that makes this game hard to handle. It is so tough that once you hire them, you really can’t control them. The machineries are also hard to place, not to mention the tracks as well.

The game is quite difficult, because you’ll have to win everything one by one and it’s not like adventure type games.

GRAPHICS 3/10
The graphics look really unprofessional type. The visitors looked like cartoon characters; I mean worst than that, only the machineries look ok. Even your workers look like a comic character, and the way they walk is another thing. They definitely looked obviously terrible, even the visitors’ thoughts look unrealistic.

SOUND 6/10
The sounds are ok, not to mention excellent, but average. The music is one good paradise to the game, and it adds fun and better to play with. It changes according to the environment, and makes people feel revive again. There are also different sound for the intro, and makes it look much more better.

FINAL RECOMMENDATION 5/10
I really don’t recommend this game because of its game play, graphics and some other stuffs. This game is definitely not worth to be rented or to be searched for, and buying it is even not worthy. This game has the worst graphics ever, and that’s why you shouldn’t buy or rent it. Anyway, the choice is still yours. You’ll definitely be upset with it’s graphics.
