The in-depth conversations both advance the plot and suggest better ways to manage the park.

 A Big Disappointment! August 8, 2010
Pinwad
When I got this game a few years ago, I bought it expecting a big vavoom, but I didn't get that. Though the game doesn't absolutely suck, it certainly is a big disappointment to those expecting better. The graphics are just okay, the gameplay gets pretty boring, and there's not very much substance to it.
The ability to talk to people and make friends isn't that great, especially when the only way to make friends is to pick one of a few subjects available and find out if they absolutely hate what you're talking about or are interested. Now the even crazier thing is the ability to have a girlfriend or boyfriend by flirting! Maybe other people would find this fun, but I don't.
The objective to the game is basically to build a ride somewhere where people will spend money on it, whether it's a rollercoaster or a prefab ride and appeal to any celebrities within the park. You play the game in third person, playing as a customized character, running around, listening to a wacky old man spit out orders.
Finally, you have the minigames. Most of these games are cheesy and a waste of time.
Don't waste your money! If you haven't already, buy a game like Rollercoaster Tycoon 3. Thrillville O.T.R. aims to a younger audience, maybe even an older audience(doubtful) but it sure didn't aim to me
Fun.. but October 19, 2009

Fun and immersive, however, there is a lot about this game that is not intuitive. Also, the vantage can cause a bit of motion sickness now and then as well as being oversensitive which hinders play in some of the mini games. I think that it would be better gamed on a console format than PC.
 IT DIDN'T WORK September 7, 2009

I waited about a week for this game to arrive. I wasn't really excited about getting this game when I first saw it but I got it on a whim. When I recieved it it was like new,no scratches,etc. It wasn't until I went to install it that it went wrong. As soon as I got to disk 2 it went really slow then all of a sudden a box pops up saying that there was a program/file error on the disk and then it closed the entire installation process. It was VERY dissapointing and for a 15 year old waiting for a new game this really made me mad. I'll probably just end up buying rollercoaster tycoon 3 like all the other smart people or save up for a new camera instead of wasting my money on something that doesn't work.
 I'm Surprised! January 29, 2009

I rented this game from our local library, and I saw it adveritised on TV and thought I'd give it a try. I was surprised on how fun, addicting, and even challenging this game is! I will only rate this 4 overall just because it's frustrating when you don't have enough money or don't have enough room to build your coaster or your arcade,etc. but it's truly addicting! You start off with a tutorial and you help this wacky scientist build his amusement park, as you can communictae with guests of the park and you can try to make friend with them! I will just let you know that some ways this game may not be for kids(although it's geared towards kids) as it has some lyrics, violence, and even occasional romance that may be disturbing to really young gamers. I'd rate it ages 8+. It's a really fun game as you can choose what roller coaster you want to build, then you make it your own way(you can put a ring of fire,brick wall, curves, turns, loops,etc.) and can build your own mini golf course(You can put windmills, Curves, and all sorts of things to design your MGC) and you can putt-putt at your customized mini golf course your ride your roller coaster! There are tons of mini games such as Go Cart(You can customize the track), Robot wars(Fun!), and even play bumper cars! It has lots of carnival, amusement park, type of games! And you can challenge park guests to mini games as well! THere are at least 10 different "Lands" that you can explore and you can unlock, and it has several different themes to it too! YOu can customize your charachter, play mini games, unlock trophies, and much more!I am even considering buying this game sometime! 5 stars!
Roller coaster FUN January 13, 2009
Thrillvile is a great roller coaster theme park game that is so much fun! The graphics are great if you have a computer with alot of memory. You barely have to do any work as in cleaning, or fixing things (that's what the staff is for) but you get to hang out all day on the park riding, eating and just having fun. People say this game is less fun than roller coaster tycoon but that is so false. roller coaster tycoon I found to be pretty complicated to work. You don't get to interact with the customers like flirt or just make friends. But on Thrillville you can talk, compete and just play games! I would definently recomend this game to a person under the age of 13. But once you hit 14 or older I can see how if you want something that uses brain power this wouldn't be the game to choose. For you don't have to think very hard like in other coaster games. But if you are just in for playing arcade games and relaxing this game is totally for you! It is fun!!!
