Most of these games can be played against your friends with up to four players taking part in the action. The mechanical cat that comes for you at the end of each stage will give you nightmares.ĭesigning a ride has been streamlined for your enjoyment. For sheer oddity, nothing can beat Sparkle Island, a classic coin-op inspired platforming game that will have you wondering what maniac was behind the design. Blasting corks at little mechanical enemies in a western themed stage is just as fun as you'd expect it to be. Our personal favorite was the pop-gun first-person shooter. For example, you can build and then play on your own miniature golf course, hop on trampolines and do stunts, race go-karts or bumper cars. These games fit within the world of theme parks. All 22 of the little entertainment hubs that you can build are playable in the park or from the main menu. The crux of Thrillville is its mini games which come in a great variety. All told, there is a huge amount of area to explore and customize with nearly any sort of ride or attraction you can think of. We were shown several of these, including one revolving around superheroes, a Lord of the Rings inspired area, and a futuristic space area. Each of the rides can be placed in one of five different parks across fifteen differently themed areas. Aside from the traditional rollercoaster, Thrillville will sport log rides, merry-go-rounds, children's train rides and more. If you can imagine it, you can make it and ride on it. Since Thrillville isn't aiming for realism, you won't have to worry about creating a ride that would technically kill someone from too much acceleration or from tearing itself apart. Pre-made coaster blueprints can be purchased or found within the game, though designing your own ride has its rewards as you'll be able to surpass the ratings of these pre-made courses by careful track layout. Coasters are given ratings for how much of a thrill they deliver and how sick riders feel once you've sent them into twenty straight spirals. If you get bored before you're totally done designing the course, you can even have the computer finish it off for you. With a simple use of the analog stick and a few button pushes, you can easily add twists, barrel rolls, loops, and death defying drops.

Designing rides in Thrillville has been made as accessible as possible. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to ride in your own custom designed coaster, Thrillville will give you that opportunity. Being a manager has its perks - you won't be waiting in any lines.

What about the rides? At any point, you can run up to one of your coasters or games and take it for a spin. Social interaction may be fun, but this is a theme park game.
