Thrillville

released on Nov 21, 2006

Thrillville allows gamers of all ages to easily build and customize the coaster of your dreams. Imagination is the only height limit with Thrillville, where the fun ranges from racing on go-kart tracks you put together and playing mini-golf on courses you designed to joining friends for dozens of four-player party games, from bumper cars to arcade shoot-'em-ups. You can also tour the park on foot, chatting and joking with all the guests to help them out and make sure they're enjoying themselves.

I must’ve thrown at least 100 hours into this game as a child. Maybe more than it deserved… but regardless, I loved it.

The early 2000’s vibe really allows it to shine on a replay. From the music, to the clothing. Even down to the way people talked. It all captures the aesthetic perfectly. To this day, it’s fun to play.

The gameplay loop is admittedly repetitive, and there’s still limitations on what you’re capable of doing. But man… I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t grinning ear to ear a lot of the time. Perhaps it’s the nostalgia talking, as I know this game visually looks pretty bad nowadays.

But the mini games are so fun, and there’s so many of them! Each is so different from the next. It really feels like they were firing off on all cylinders as the time. At least for a kids game.

There’s a lot of different mechanics for such a simple game, and while none of them particularly shine, they all at least range from good to halfway decent.

I think Thrillville still manages to pack a lot of fun into a short experience. The gameplay loop won’t be for everyone, and I can see where the criticisms would be warranted. I’m just glad I got to revisit this childhood classic.

crazy how frontier made planet coaster when they already peaked with this??

Obviously making roller coasters is awesome, but you can't forget the dancing mini game!

Console babys first Tycoon-type game, and frankly the fact that you get to play the minigames you install really sells me personally on city builder games - I like being able to use the things I build.

Countless hours spent on this. It's admittedly not one of the best theme park / coaster games, but its incredibly 2000s soundtrack and its nostalgic vibes are just too much for me to give anything less than a four star rating for.

I’ve always associated that “suddenly I see” song with this game
