Gone are the days of the complex PC techniques used in other coaster games. Rather, Thrillville's easy to use building mode has been designed specifically for the console platforms and makes building all 75-plus rides from wooden, corkscrew and inverted coasters to merry go rounds, trains and carnival rides, easy, and most importantly, fun. 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 - a first for theme-park titles - chatting and joking with all the guests to help them out and make sure they're enjoying themselves.… Expand

    Getting used to the controls for this game might take a little bit, but once you do and see everything in action you will really enjoy all that this game has to offer.
  2. Worth Playing
    80
    It offers gamers a taste of just about every gaming genre out there and even finds a way to bundle them together and present them along with a light-hearted story.
  3. Official Xbox Magazine

    Aimed at pre-teens--some overly cutesy characters and patronizing narration make it a little too cloying for grown-up gamers--Thrillville hits its marks well on most fronts. [Jan. 2007, p.75]

    It may not be the most open ended theme park on the planet, but it's full of different ways to have fun, and that's what matters most. Buy the ticket, and take the ride.
  5. XboxAddict

    The character models are a little blocky and a little bit on the cartoony side; but they're innocent looking and play their roles adequately, [and] the look of the game could have been smoothed out a bit.
  6. Games Radar
    60
    Offers a metric ton of activities for you to engage in. The sheer variety is unheard of for this genre (on a console anyway), and it all works. That said, little of it is outstanding, and while all the pieces are in place, there isn't a single aspect of this game that will blow you away.
  7. Electronic Gaming Monthly
    45
    It's just mediocre all around. [Jan. 2007, p.106]

    This is nice and I really do mean that. But there are a bit too many faults that make it difficult to say if this is really a great game. I doThis is nice and I really do mean that. But there are a bit too many faults that make it difficult to say if this is really a great game. I do enjoy it. But it feels like it falls into the same problem that a lot games that claim they "Allow the player to create what they want" Is that you find yourself with a game that feels bare bones on objectives. So the game add missions to progress which kind of undermines the whole creative aspect. Still there is enough balance between the 2 to be enjoyable. The game also claims to have games within the game. To be fair, most are actually decent and can be a neat time killer. But most are rip offs of other games, or shallow attempts at certain genres. The graphics are a bit sub par. There not really bad, but do give off a slight unpolished feel to them. But there is something satisfying about building a theme park. Planning things out and watching your stats increase. That is enough for me to at least recommend checking this game out if your curious. This might be because of my nostalgia, but I do think this is kind of neat.… Expand
