Theme Park World Ps1 Download

Theme Park World, also known as Theme Park 2, and in North America as Sim Theme Park, is a 1999 construction and management simulation game developed by Bullfrog Productions and released by Electronic Arts. The direct sequel to Theme Park (Theme Hospital and Theme Aquarium are thematic sequels), the player constructs and manages an amusement park with the aim of making profit and keeping visitors happy. Initially developed for Windows, it was ported to PlayStation and PlayStation 2 (whose version was titled Theme Park Roller Coaster in North America), as well for Macintosh computers. The Mac version was published by Feral Interactive.

The game was developed because personnel at Bullfrog wanted to bring the original Theme Park up-to-date. Theme Park World features four themes of amusement park, the ability to ride attractions, and an online service that enabled players to share parks. Reception was mostly positive, with reviewers complimenting the sound and visuals, although some were critical of the interface. The game was followed by Theme Park Inc (also known as Sim Coaster) in 2001.

Theme Park World tasks players with managing a series of amusement parks.[1] To do this, the player must choose how to spend their funds, finding ways to expand the number and scope of their parks while remaining profitable.[2][3] Money can be used to purchase things such as new rides or attractions,[4] and hire staff to maintain the park.[5] As in its predecessor Theme Park, the staff available for recruitment include mechanics, cleaners (known in some versions as handymen[6]), entertainers, and guards,[7] but Theme Park World also introduces a new role: scientists (known in some versions as researchers[8][9]).[10] The staff repair rides, clean litter, entertain visitors, ensure the park's security and research new rides, shops, and attractions.[11] Staff can be trained to make them more efficient,[12] and require frequent rest in staff rooms.[13]

Rides can be upgraded to increase their reliability, capacity, and speed,[14] as well as provide additional components for track-based rides, such as jumps and tunnels for race tracks,[15] and loops for roller coasters.[16] Toilets and features such as bins, speakers, and security cameras can also be purchased.[17] Various elements can be controlled by the player, such as the name of the park,[18] the price of admission,[19] the layout of the roller-coaster tracks,[20] and the quality of goods in the shops.[21] The player can build cafs, novelty stores, restaurants, and parlours for foodstuff such as chips (fries), ice creams, and burgers.[22] In the PlayStation version, certain rides and sideshows are playable as minigames such as races and 9 puzzles.[23] The player can take loans and purchase additional land for the park.[24]

A key focus is maintaining visitor satisfaction: the player is provided with feedback on visitors' merriment in the forms of a happiness meter,[25] and thought bubbles.[26] The bubbles convey feelings such as confusion, pleasure, hunger, and hygiene, which are indicators of the park's success.[27] There is an advisor who provides tutorials and information about the park's events.[28]

The player can earn golden tickets or keys for completing tasks such as getting a certain number of people in the park, reaching a certain happiness level, and making a certain profit in a year.[29] Golden tickets can be used to buy special rides that cannot otherwise be researched by park scientists, as well as unlock golden keys needed to open additional parks.[30] The requirements for earning golden tickets are similar in each park, but get harder as the game progresses.[29] There are four themes of park: Lost Kingdom (featuring mainly Mesozoic, but also Aztec, Mayan, and Ape-based rides[31]) Wonder Land (described as a "fairy kingdom"[32]), Halloween World, and Space Zone,[33] with Space Zone being the hardest.[13] In the PlayStation version, there are two parks for each theme.[34] Each world has setting-appropriate rides, shops, and sideshows.[35] Only the Lost Kingdom and Halloween World are available at the start (in the PlayStation version, the players start in the Lost Kingdom[36]).[37]

There is also an Instant Action mode, in which the player starts with a pre-built park in the Lost Kingdom, some staff, and double the usual amount of money. It features automatic research and cheaper staff, tracks, and expansion, but certain rides, shops, sideshows, upgrades, and features are not available.[25][40][41]

The Theme Park World Online website contained news and updates to the game, and featured a page that contained published parks. Invitations to parks could be issued, and players could vote for their favourites.[42] Competitions were hosted, with prizes awarded for the best parks.[43] Players could also visit others' published parks.[44] Platinum Tickets, which were used to download rides from the website, were awarded when others visited the player's parks.[43] Postcards could be sent by email,[45] and the service offered a chat feature.[46] The chat service had a function to report abusive players, who would have their connection terminated.[47] Players could also be blackmarked.[48] An account was required to use Theme Park World Online.[43]

The game used a 3D engine to eliminate the need for a 3D accelerator card, and an advanced behavioural artificial intelligence system (programmed by Ben Board[53]) that gave visitors different behavioural traits.[49] Board said that the most important feature was the queuing behaviour, and that he spent a while making it look interesting when visitors were in long queues.[53] Many management features of the original game were retained,[54] but some, such as supply ordering and competition with other parks, were removed.[55] Staff would no longer get strike action because it was considered confusing and annoying.[56]

The PC version was praised highly by Robert Coffey of Computer Gaming World: he believed the game is "Wildly entertaining" and liked the ability to tour parks and ride rides. His only real criticism was the difficulty of constructing roller coasters. The game was awarded the Editors' Choice award.[69] A reviewer from IGN described the presentation as "clear, concise, and fun", and was impressed with the sound.[70] Ron Dulin of GameSpot also liked the "amusing" visual appeal, but complained about the amount of detail the player must manage once the park becomes popular, and said it takes away the enjoyment of the player's creation.[73] Computer and Video Games's criticism was that the game is much more freeform than Theme Hospital: he said no specific goals are presented, and that golden tickets are often won suddenly.[75] PC Zone's reviewer complained that the player cannot build more than one of the same item at a time, and must keep re-entering the menus and select it again. He also described the adviser as "incredibly annoying", and the rides as "tamer than a sedated penguin". Despite these criticisms, Theme Park World was also described as "Very addictive".[79] Jeuxvideo.com's reviewer thought Theme Park World is better than the original due to the 3D graphics, and also praised Bullfrog's humour, but also described the appearance as "repetitive".[80] Bob Colayco of FiringSquad found the 3D graphics as colourful, and liked the refined user interface, describing it as "context sensitive" and believed that hotkeys play a greater role than in the previous game. He believed the game is "cuter" than RollerCoaster Tycoon.[83] Gnration 4's Rmy Goavec was highly complimentary: he said Theme Park World was "a real treat" and "possibly the best Christmas gift Bullfrog could give". It was also described as "beautiful", "funny", and "intelligent".[85] Theme Park World was more heavily criticised by Ben Silverman of Game Revolution: he liked the graphics, but described the adviser's advice as "worse than a nagging housewife". He also complained about the lack of variety, and said that the rides are repeated across the four worlds.[86] Daniel Erickson of Next Generation stated that "hardcore sim fans might miss having to trade stocks and manage land grants, but everyone else is in for a treat".[76]

The PlayStation 2 version was described by a reviewer of Jeuxvideo.com as "a very good simulation game", and he also said the graphics were good, but could have been "more beautiful".[82] IGN's Doug Perry said the PlayStation 2 version is smoother than the PC version, and praised its "laptop" interface. He described the game as "a fun, clean addictive game that's intelligent and highly amusing".[72] Jeff Gerstmann of GameSpot liked the fact the PlayStation 2 version's goals are made clear, and believed the music fits the parks well and the fact that it has multiple parks made it great for players who like to play for short periods.[74]

The Macintosh version was believed to be "just plain fun" by Michael Phillips of Inside Mac Games, who also praised the vibrant graphics. He also complimented the music as "themeparkish", and said it adds to the game's mood.[87]
