A pleasant surprise! October 16, 2008
I was pleasantly surprised by this game. I found it for fairly cheap and took a chance on it. I have not been a fan of many Wii games due to broken controls and rushed games which fall sub-par, but this game is quite good and offers all kinds of different activites from managing park details to actually playing the games to obtain new features for the park. This is chock-full of unlockables and although I have just barely scratched the surface of this one I know there are many more hours of fun to be had from this title.

Awesome game. Many many hours of entertainment. If you like Tycoon games, this is an A+ game. Highly recommended.

Unfortunately this game was not eligible for APO shipping. However, my son was excited about purchasing this game with an Amazon gift cert that he received for his birthday, so we shipped it to a relatives' house in the States, with the agreement they would ship it to us.
One month later, we received a notice from Amazon stating that the game was not deliverable to the address listed, although we've used this same shipping address for other items in the past. Sure, we received a refund, but that doesn't compare to the excitement of building your own amusement park with the Wii!
It's not very fair that the game receives a 1 Star rating (you're forced to choose a rating if you want to post a review), when in fact, the
1 Star rating belongs to Amazon for not delivering the product.

I've wanted this game for a while, but waited until the price was down to buy it. I think even if I'd paid the original full price, I would have been happy with my purchase. The game is a good deal of fun, but not really in the ways I expected.
What I expected, in a nutshell, was a game like Roller Coaster Tycoon, one of my favorite PC games ever---a game where you really design a park from the bottom up, with control over where the rides are placed, what scenery is around, all kinds of prices, even terrain. This game doesn't have that. The parks look and feel like completed parks when you first see them. You have control only really over what ride to put where and minor things like color. You do get more control over roller coasters, but not where they start or end---you can design all kinds of twists and turns and drops quite easily, but somehow you never get the feel you get in RCT---that you really have to work hard to make a great coaster and that you get a lot of feedback from your customers about how much they like it, or don't.
The customers in this game SEEM like you can interact with them a lot, but they are too easily satisfied---they almost always just love your park---and once you figure out what topics they are into, it's easy to choose from a list of phrases what to talk to them about to make them friends. In RCT, you are more concerned about your people as a group.
The real fun here is the extra value---you can play all the games you place in the park, and they are GOOD games! It's really a collection of minigames far better than any other I've found for the Wii, with tremendous variety---lots of shooting games, Bejeweled type games, games that look like Halo, a minigolf game you can design and play, a dirt bike game that's really interesting---and lots more! The games don't really relate much to the park---you don't feel like you are playing them as part of the game but rather just as a break from the game. You can win prizes you can give people, but this is quite hard to do, and you never really see the prizes, you just know you have them.
The game has lots of goals that let you unlock new types of parks, and you can try to complete certain goals or you can just unlock things by chance by making a good park.
It's a little tricky to figure out things like how to save, and it's a little confusing to understand exactly where you are in the parks you own---each park has 3 parts which are quite separate and seem like whole new amusement parks, which confused me at first.
Overall, get this game for the minigames and for the coaster design feature. Don't expect a feel like a Sim game or RCT, and you won't be disappointed!
