We had to start a new game - picking my son's character and listening to the 5 min opening, 5 times. Also, instead of loading our saved game after the last time it froze up, I went directly into the minigames and was able to play that for about 70 WHOLE MINUTES with no crashes. The thing crashes like 5-15 min into the game - everytime. Nintendo does not even acknowledge that game crashes on Thrillville is an issue despite it being mentioned on the forums of numerous websites. I would NOT buy it on-line, through Ebay or from a store that does not allow returns. Finally did get it saved, after my son went to bed, tried a couple of the storyline missions and was about to save it again and it crashed AS I WAS SAVING IT. I thought it was fun to go around and tweak the rides, talk to people, and generally see after the amusement park.
The minigames are somewhat simplistic, by vary enough in type and style to be enjoyable. If you don't save as soon as the guy is finally done talking when you are actually in the amusement park, you'll be sorry. Have we turned the page - who knows - because of course no one wants to tell us how to fix the problem (although I've asked Lucas Arts). There are no directions anywhere on-line that I can find to fix this. This is obviously very frustrating.HOWEVER, The game seems really fun when you can actually get it to work. A number of them require you to advance in your management role in order to unlock a game - pretty typical stuff.So be aware - you are rolling the dice whether you will have Thrillville or FREEZEVILLE when you bring this home. As it is, Office Depot will only allow me to return it for the same title - so we'll either see if I can fix the problem or we'll see how many copies of the game hae the same issue.
My Kids 7 & 11 love the game. It keeps them busy for hours, and they are so excited to show me what they have done with their park.
We are both in our twenties and thought this game would mimic rollercoaster tycoon for casual play. My roomate and I love this game and find it very addicting. one of our wii favorites for half the price of many other games. then we discovered the challenges and minigames which keep you locked in the game for hours, opening new parks, completing missions, and even playing the minigames on multiplayer mode. A great buy for both people who want casual play at your own pace fun and challenging timed and scored fun.
It was more fun than I expected and I expected it to be awsome. This game is the best game I have. BUY IT.
We were worried we would have to send it back. It was unreadable at first. But we really cleaned it good, and now it is fine. Thanks.
